Scuzzy is now apparently backing the Democrat in the race.

To be fair to Scuzzy(?), there was a piece on RedState maybe a week or so ago to the effect that she was considering defecting to the Dems anyway.

SCOZZAFAVA THROWS SUPPORT TO OWENS


sure am glad that Newt told us to support the person with the R, even though it seems to me like the Dems had two candidates in this race.

Everybody go home, Newt just puked in the fish tank.  This party is dead.

Newt's stock just fell 100 points. In fact, his endorsement of Scuzzy makes me question him seriously.

It's almost pathetic how long it took the establishment Republicans to get the message.

Party leaders — including Mr. Steele and Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker — had argued that local parties should be permitted to pick candidates that most closely mirror the sentiments of the district, even if those candidates vary from Republican orthodoxy on some issues.

“This makes life more complicated from the standpoint of this: If we get into a cycle where every time one side loses, they run a third-party candidate, we’ll make Pelosi speaker for life and guarantee Obama’s re-election,” said Mr. Gingrich, who had endorsed Ms. Scozzafava.

“I felt very deeply that when you have all 11 county chairman voting for someone, that it wasn’t appropriate for me to come in and render my judgment,” he said. “I think we are going to get into a very difficult environment around the country if suddenly conservative leaders decide they are going to anoint people without regard to local primaries and local choices.”

I agree with Newt. I'd rather control the House and Senate, however it's done. If you want to influence who the candidate is, go after those 11 county chairmen's seats, don't attack the party's candidate. What's been done has been effective, and Hoffman may be the better candidate, but it was a reactionary and lazy way to get it done.

Maybe, just maybe those 11 will be voted out next time.  Did all eleven choose Scozzafava, or was there a split vote?  Then again, maybe in a primary the voters would have picked Hoffman to start with.

For her to stab the party in the back and endorse the Democrat, it seems that they didn't have the reins on her in the least and she is just looking for the most $$$ from anyone who'll pay her it for her signet stamp.

It was lazy to not hold a primary and just do a backroom deal.  Actually there was a lot of laziness all the way around in the Republican Establishment and the Conservative Party did what it was set up to do when that happens.

It's like what happened in Honduras which the mainstream media insists on calling a coup when what happened is what was set up to happen when certain circumstances were met.

Horseshit.  We let the party leadership in NH pick the candidates, and all they did was put up limp-dick RINO's instead of conservatives who got their heads handed to them.  We're now basically North Massholistan, and Fergus the Mouth-Breather got thrown out on his ass, to be replaced by John "Papa Doc" Sununu.  We'll see if he listens.  So far, the signs (Kelly Ayotte for Judd Gregg's Senate seat, Frank Gunita for Che's 1CD seat) are promising, but I want to see what they're going to do on the LOCAL (state Rep and Senate) level.

Not quite...but almost as bad:

With this in mind, one has to wonder how media are going to report the news that Scozzafava has actually recorded a "robocall" for Democrat candidate Bill Owens

Hi, this is Dede Scozzafava calling on behalf of Bill Owens.  And I wanted to let you know that I am supporting Bill for Congress.

Since beginning my campaign I have said that this election is not about me, it’s about the people of this district.  It’s not in the cards for me to be your representative but I strongly believe Bill Owens is the only candidate who can build upon John McHugh’s lasting legacy in Congress.

In Bill Owens I see a sense of duty and integrity.  He will be an independent voice, devoted to doing what is right for New York.  To address the tough challenges ahead we must rise above partisanship and politics, and work together.

Please join me in voting for Bill Owens on Tuesday.

I'd really like to know how much $$ she got from the RNC for her campaign.

Mr. Steele, this is why the Republican Party no longer gets any $$ from me.
