They don't quote her saying this. Hit piece by the newspaper?

During the day Saturday, she began to quietly and thoughtfully encourage her supporters to vote for Democrat William L. Owens.

Newspaper reports and eyewitness accounts...

Eyewitness accounts from biased party hacks with an axe to grind and newspaper reports repeating those same accounts.

Have I got a copy [of the pledge]? Nope. Just numerous biased witnesses and second-hand sources to his pledging to support the nominee.

I'm amused at the reaction of GOP liberals and party hacks to this post. It seems to have hit a very tender spot.

I'm guessing that the RINOs and party hacks had a nice scam going: exchanging pro-Dem votes for favors for "insiders" coerced from the bureaucracy.

Pretty much.

They’ve developed that to an art form in IL, for example.

Not much different in NY.

White House Pushing To Get Dede Scozzafava’s Endorsement For Dem

“This hurts,” one administration official told the Huffington Post on Saturday, “unless we can get her on board.”

And on Sunday, the White House all but confirmed that it was after Scozzafava’s endorsement. Appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” Obama’s senior confidant, Valerie Jarrett said the administration “would love to have — of course, have her support.”

Doesn't that sentence seem strangely out of place in an endorsement op-ed?

This is clearly a ham-handed vote suppression tactic, intended to create anger and dissension among all non-Owens voters.

And it's straight out of the WH/Obama/Soros playbook.

Bump, I can’t find anything that would be proof. I’m calling BS on her supporting the Rat until I see some proof.

Enough of these arrogant labor activists.

It seems the teacher's union has switched their support from Scozzafava to Owens, also. From NYSUT Switches Endorsement to Owens,

The powerful teachers’ union NYSUT has voted to endorse Democrat Bill Owens after their candidate, Republican Dede Scozzafava, suspended her campaign, according to NYSUT Executive Vice President Alan Lubin.

Lubin said the decision to endorse Owens was “easy” after Scozzafava released her supporters this morning.

“We were being loyal to Dede because as an Assemblywoman she has a strong record of supporting education and organized labor,” Lubin said. But with Scozzafava out of the race, the union’s executive committee quickly voted to support the Democrat.

NYSUT has roughly 25,000 to 27,000 members in the district. Lubin said that the union had already scheduled door knocking and phone banks for the final days of the race, but that they’ll “simply change the message” to back Owens.

Additionally, the union will be calling all members to let them know of the endorsement switch and working their network of local leaders to for “pre-workplace notification” of their members before the workday starts on Monday.

See, this is how they expect to take control forever. Trojan horse candidates. Newt is an idiot and so is Steele. I’ve about had it with the Republican party. I think I am going to change to Independent.

Bingo!

This sleazy bitch Scozzafava was NEVER a republican. She was a Demorat plant. The republicans responsible for allowing it to happen and who endorsed this RAT need to be removed.

It is well past the time to purge the Rats and leftys from the Republican party.

If he wants to vote there. I don't, I can't. He doesn't, he can't.
