Republican Scozzafava Suspends New York Congressional Campaign

LINK

FOXNews.com
October 31, 2009

The move comes on the heels of a new poll that showed Republican Dede Scozzafava had fallen behind her two competitors in a race too close.

(excerpt)

Republican state Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava has suspended her campaign for upstate New York's 23rd Congressional seat, leaving Democratic nominee Bill Owens and Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman in the race that will conclude Tuesday.

The move comes on the heels of a new poll that showed Scozzafava had fallen behind her two competitors in a race too close.

The Siena College poll has Owens picking up 36 percent of the vote, while Hoffman has 35 percent. Scozzafava has 20 percent, with nine percent of voters undecided.

Heh. Conservatives rule. RINOs drool.

Ya know maybe its time for a new party. Its time to leave when the GOP says, "Sure she's a liberal, but theres an 'R' next to her name so you HAVE to support her!"

Really. I saw what the party did to Sarah after the election. Thats not my party.
I can only hope the GOP learns a lesson here, but I doubt it.

the utter death knell of the GOP would be for her to endorse the dem.  given her leanings and history, it might happen.

Scozzafava didn't endorse either of the remaining candidates, opting instead to allow her supporters make their own choice.

Goes to show that endorsing conservative policies and values were never part of the equation with her or her backers.

It wouldn't surprise me after hearing about her. It may not be enough to overcome the Obama curse though.

but here's a thought:
she only suspended the campaign.  hasn't conceded.  her name will still be on the ballot.

How many RINOs will peel in either direction?  How many uninformed RINOs will vote for her anyway?  Would they go with "the enemy you know"?  Would they listen to Newt et al and keep up the fire on Hoffman?

The election is 72 hours out.  Her name would have been on the ballot anyway.

She ran as a republican but won't endorse a republican. She can't even return the party loyalty she demanded.

Outright pettiness, disloyalty and spite.

Fox was reporting an hour or so ago, that Michael Steele has asked "Republicans" to support the "Conservative" candidate.

8. Karl Rove's big goal was to have the most extreme elements in each party win
That way, nothing could really get done. I am certain Rove is still up to his old tricks.


I think coach's squeeze is repeating pillow talk. Is coach giving away strategy for a little leftward-leaning poon?

A classy move by Scozzafava. Let's watch as Hoffman's win is portrayed as the "extreme right" is taking over the party.  :whatever:

Based on what I've seen of this woman, classy she ain't........she just got mugged by reality.

Of course it will be portrayed as you suggested, but that is exactly who should be running the party right now......

Based on Steele already telling Reps to support Hoffman.....I would venture a guess that Scozzafava didn't voluntarily step aside. I would say it was strongly suggested to her....

Scozzafava is not a RINO. Mark Steyn put it much better. She is a DIABLO - Democrat In All But Label Only.  :rotf:

Go Hoffman.

It didn't sound like she actually endorsed him.

Steele needs to resign. Newts just a disgrace.
