SCOZZAFAVA THROWS SUPPORT TO OWENS
Watertown Daily News ^ | 11/1/09 | Un Attributed

Posted on 11/01/2009 11:30:05 AM PST by tennmountainman

It is in this spirit that I am writing to let you know I am supporting Bill Owens for Congress and urge you to do the same.

It’s not in the cards for me to be your representative, but I strongly believe Bill is the only candidate who can build upon John McHugh's lasting legacy in the U.S. Congress. John and I worked together on the expansion of Fort Drum and I know how important that base is to the economy of this region. I am confident that Bill will be able to provide the leadership and continuity of support to Drum Country just as John did during his tenure in Congress.

Aside from being the fourth posting of this article it is speculation from a lefty rag at best.

such a mild word. Multiply it by 100 and apply it to 85% of the republican party as we know it

She sure showed the GOP just how wrong they could be, but the GOP is probably too stupid to get a clue.

Scozza talking:

In Bill Owens, I see a sense of duty and integrity that will guide him beyond political partisanship. He will be an independent voice devoted to doing what is right for New York. Bill understands this district and its people, and when he represents us in Congress he will put our interests first.

Please join me in voting for Bill Owens on Tuesday. To address the tough challenges ahead, we must rise above partisanship and politics and work together. There's too much at stake in this election to do otherwise.

This shows how stupid the Local GOP was in picking her as a candidate in the first place.

Steele should be fired.

Here we go Freepers. It’s official. This is what the GOP leadership gets for pumping $900,000 of GOP donations into DeDe’s campaign?

A lot of heads should be rolling tommorrow.

Starting with Michael Steele, Pete Sessions, John Bohinor, and Cantor. This is what they get for spending that kind of money.

Off with their leadership heads.

Even with Sarah Palin’s thanks for acting “selflessly” which I just responded to on another thread, she is unmoved from her original position, which was not hard to see.
There was no question that she was a Liberal Democrat.
NOW Hoffman must distinguish himself from BOTH of them, or should I say , just Owens?

Dude,

You had better read the article. This is a press release.
It is not speculation, which is why I posted it.

“Speculation???”

- Did you even read the article????

Since announcing the suspension of my campaign, I have thought long and hard about what is best for the people of this District, and how to answer your questions. This is not a decision that I have made lightly.

......I am writing to let you know I am supporting Bill Owens for Congress and urge you to do the same.

It’s not in the cards for me to be your representative, but I strongly believe Bill is the only candidate who can build upon John McHugh’s lasting legacy in the U.S. Congress.

Please join me in voting for Bill Owens on Tuesday

The person that the GOP poured thousands of money behind is now backing the Democrat.

And yet, they expect to be taken seriously? Or, do they?

Hey Newt, how do you feel about your buddy DeDe now..throwing support to a Dem..If you see someone walking around wearing a paper bag over his head, it will be Newt Gingrich because he is wearing egg all over his face. Who really didn’t see this coming

I wonder if Newt still wants to keep her at the top of his list of seconding speeches for his nominationation at the next RNC presidential convention.

My aplologies for reposting. However, if I am not mistaken, those articles were speculation that DeDe was quietly lending her support to Owens.

This is the press release from DeDe.
Publically supporting Owens.

I meant no harm.

You have neutered Newt!

Newt has done us the favor of clearly showing himself to be completely and utterly irrelevant. A bunch of nobodies on the internet knew more than him, showed themselves to be way more politically savvy than him, and the “GOP” candidate confirmed all of the above.

Mind-boggling.

Hey Mojave--Did Scozzafava break a pledge when she said, "It is in this spirit that I am writing to let you know I am supporting Bill Owens for Congress and urge you to do the same."?
