Canton, NY, Sep 24, 2010 — Mark Barie, head of the UNYTEA teas party group based in Plattsburgh said yesterday that Doug Hoffman has neither the money nor the campaign staff to win a three-way race for the 23rd Congressional District House seat in the general election this fall.

And he said Hoffman's decision to stay in the race will siphon votes away from Republican Matt Doheny's effort to take the seat away from the Democratic incumbent, Bill Owens. (see related story)

Brian Mann spoke with Martha Foley this morning about the race's complicated trajectory.
