Republicans did not pick Hoffman. They picked Scozzafava, and not in a primary, as you said. Had an actual primary been held and Hoffman been selected, he would've won that race. This example is a total contrast to what you said.

Cite some evidence that conservatives are doing "everything in their power" to oust Bennett and Kirk.
