Scozzafava Endorses Democrat After Dropping Out of N.Y. Congressional Race
Fox News ^

Republican Dede Scozzafava endorsed her former Democratic opponent Sunday in the race for an upstate New York congressional seat, one day after Scozzafava dropped out of the contest.
Scozzafava dropped out after Conservative Party candidate Dough Hoffman experienced a late-in-the-game surge. But on Sunday, Scozzafava backed Democrat Bill Owens -- the announcement was made in a statement send out by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
"I am supporting Bill Owens for Congress and urge you to do the same," she said. "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."

This is what moderate and liberal republicans do. They would rather see democrats win than any hated conservative.

To: Behind Liberal Lines
As big of a loser as she was, the endorsement may be the kiss of death. Still....it’s an obvious and transparent sour grapes move directed at Palin and others who want to see a true conservative win the seat.

“Paging Newt. “
He should be held accountable for this debacle. Had she not gotten the nomination and GOP support in the first place she would have little credibility now in her endorsement. What was the GOP or Newt's endorsement of her about in the first place? Knowing that the basic principles of our free-market system are at risk by the current administration how can anyone who truly represents the Republican party endorse a democrat? She wasn't even a RINO. She's clearly a liberal who thought that it would be politically expedient for her to run as a Republican in that district. Or, she was encouraged to.

People have been positing that operationally there is little difference between Republicans and Democrats, that they are in reality two heads of the same organization; I’m inclined to agree.

I think this might be good news. Her association with Hoffman might have damaged him. It is not as if those who were planning to vote for her will listen to her. Most of her votes would have come from those who were unsure of Hoffman’s victory and did not want to split the vote. It is doubtful that they will vote for a Democrat.

THIS IS WHAT THE GOP WANTED! They'd rather keep the entire political system 2 party than see a CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT!
Tuesday will be a nice glass of STFU to the GOP establishment and the first of many.
To: Behind Liberal Lines
In other words, Owens isn’t quite as liberal as she is, but closer than is Hoffman.

The people saw through her but the GOP leadership didn’t.
We want conservatives, like the Republicans used to be.
We don’t want liberals, like the Republicans have become.

This is what moderate and liberal republicans do. They would rather see democrats win than any hated conservative.IIRC at the news conference announcing the suspension of her campaign she was asked if she would support Hoffman. She said she would quietly teleconference with GOP chairs before making a choice.
One can only assume that the majority of the NYS GOP chairs endorsed her support of the Democrat.
What's the collective noun for weasels?

I see a sense of duty and integrity that will guide him beyond political partisanship.
In other words...to avoid the dreaded "political partisanship" (and get along at any cost to our integrity and principles), let's all just be democrats! Dede led that one by example.

She needs to take her friend in the NY House who was the County Chair that got her the nomination with her along with the Chair of NY GOP who turned a blind eye to the dirty tricks and lies to get her on the ballot.
Since she had already commented in the past she was thinking of becoming a Dem, that it was only a matter of time if she was elected before she would caucus with Pelosi.
Now the RNC needs to ask for their campaign contributions back along with anyone else who supported her.
