Is NY-23 the one there was the controversy about a few years ago - something about the lady the GOP-E put forth being really, really liberal, and a Tea Party guy ran as the third party candidate or something?
You are correct sir. 2009. Newt FingrichA, and Peter King pushed De De Scozzafava down our throats, while Sarah Palin and Tim Pawlenty opposed.
She was failing, so a week before the election, she dropped out and threw her support behind the Dem. And that's how it ended.
