Scozzafava takes on Palin
   
Washington (CNN) – Dede Scozzafava, the woman who has become the symbol of moderate Republicanism, is taking a shot at former Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin, the woman who has become the darling of the Republican Party's conservative grassroots.

In a new interview, the state assemblywoman also lets loose on former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who chose to endorse Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman over Scozzafava, her party's official nominee, in the closely-watched race in New York's 23rd congressional district.

The Hoffman campaign and many of his supporters targeted Scozzafava on some of her more moderate views, particularly on social issues.

The growing conservative support for Hoffman, including the endorsements from Palin and other prominent conservatives, eventually led Scozzafava - who had been hand-picked by local party leaders - to drop out of the race just days before Election Day.

"How can Sarah Palin come out and endorse someone who can't answer some basic questions?" Scozzafava told the Washington Post. "Do these people even know who they are endorsing?"

In the interview, Scozzafava - who ended up backing the race's victor, Democrat Bill Owens - sounded a bitter note about how she was treated by members of her own party.

"It was organized," Scozzafava told the Post about the attacks against her by Palin, other prominent conservative figures, and conservative advocacy groups. "There is a lot of us who consider ourselves Republicans, of the Party of Lincoln. If they don't want us with them, we're going to work against them."

She's the only one who considers her a republican.

9. Dede is still an "R". Therefore, she's *still* one of them, and its hardly up to us
   
to encourage her and other moderate Republicans to make themselves heard. Its their internal struggle, and they can deal with it -or, hopefully, NOT deal with it (Palin-Jindal in 2012!). Sure, Democrats have some internal conflicts- but not to the extent that the other side does.

 :lmao: Sure keep thinking that.


I think Rush is right the dems are scared to death of Palin.

Moderate Republicanism!?!  Sure it is, if moderate Republicanism is in the same neighborhood as Karl Marx.

Nope, she was to the left of Rockefeller Republicans, so moderate wasn't even in the picture.

She's been stripped of her leadership role in the state legislature.  (Hope you don't need mind bleach.)  Her career is over.  She's got a family business she can go to, but her relatives have been running it into the ground.  There's a couple of restaurants in her hometown of Governeur, maybe she can be a waitress.

The official story is that she offered her resignation, and the Minority Leader in the NYS Assembly accepted.

Chase her.

That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

Considering Dede endorsed the Democrat when things didn't go her way, she is in a piss-poor position to throw rocks at anyone else over endorsements.

Memo to DUmmies...even if Palin is "short on ammo", as you put it, she only needs one round to take your dumb**** asses out.

I'd like to see anyone of these idiots campaign for and hold office as Gov. of Alaska much less VP of the U.S. They'd be in the corner, hunched over in the fetal position before you could say "mud-slinging".

She seems to be on the left side of the Arlen Specter wing of the party. So now we have a real Republican in that seat. Oh, wait...

Lets just call her what she is, a liberal democrat.
