Glenn Beck: Hoffman (N.Y. 23rd) 'mentor'
by Mark Silva
Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate for Congress in upstate New Yorkwhere the Republican candidate has bowed out at campaign's end and called on voters to vote for the Democrathas some political mentors.
One of them is Glenn Beck, the FOX commentator.
On his radio show, Beck was pressing Hoffman about climate change.
"Well, I think there's a lot of debate on there. I don't believe that it's totally manmade,'' Hoffman said. "And I certainly don't believe the cap and tax bill is going to solve that problem.''

It's one of three races which will be closely watched nationally on Tuesday, including the governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia.
