GOP Candidate Scozzafava, Husband Have Ties to Union-Backed ACORN Front
But on closer inspection, the bond isn't so strange. For one thing, Deidre "Dede" Scozzafava isn't a typical Republican. Despite her support for gun rights (she's received an endorsement from the National Rifle Association), she is a reliable supporter of Democratic initiatives. She supports cap-and-trade anti-global warming legislation, the $787 billion Obama stimulus plan, and state-sanctioned gay marriage. More to the point, she is a strong supporter of federal "card check" legislation that would force private-sector employers to recognize a union as the sole collective-bargaining agent if a union organizing drive at a given work site generates signatures indicating more than 50 percent of affected workers want to join. Even by moderate Republican standards, in other words, she's on the left.

This is going to be an interesting race.......
and this is who Newt and the establishment want us to vote for and support. May as well support the right candidate and if they lose at least we will be sure that the dem will vote the way he always will. This is a travesty that the GOP can get to the point that it is dem lite and no one at the top cares
Good choice Newt. Yeah, this will get the GOP back in control.
More seriously: I bet a lot of Liberals would like Scozzafava to win at this point -- it would damage the Conservative resurgence and the downstream effects of that would really help the Democrats across the country.
That is exactly how I feel. ACORN and the Working Families party are about strategy and will run a so so Democrat or independent just to divide the vote and swing it in a certain direction. A public endorsement means nothing to the WFP if they are privately working for the other team. Some candidates are sacrificial lambs for a larger political agenda.
