Correct! Also they’d approached the Dems also just in case she could gin up support there first. So that tells me she just wanted to run regardless of which party affiliation it took to do so....

[rintense]

"It is my hope that with my actions today, my party will emerge stronger and our district and our nation can take an important step towards restoring the enduring strength and economic prosperity that has defined us for generations."

Now which party is she talking about? The one that has the R in front of it, or the one she truly represents?

[EternalVigilance]

Yeah, it’s pretty bad.

[ProfoundMan]

If so then it just shows that much more what poor choice she was to start with.

You beat me to it...

[Blood of Tyrants]

As we have been saying all along, Scozzafava is more Democrat than Republican.

[curth]

Again, without citing a source, this paper says she is supporting Hoffman:

ALBANY — Republican Dierdre Scozzafava is suspending her campaign in New York’s 23rd Congressional race and is encouraging her supporters to embrace Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman.

Campaign spokesman Matt Burns says she thinks its for the best of the party.

BTW, did anyone see the completely lame columnists. One actually had titles like, “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired,” “How to... 101” and “The Buck Stops Here.” Biologists have found neurologically impaired shellfish capable of creating more meaningful titles.

[Servant of the Cross]

um .... would you call this “breaking a pledge”?

[GCC Catholic]

man...what a wanker editorial from that paper....don’t vote your views, vote for pork...lol

That's why we still have Murtha. Real slogan from his last campaign signs: "He delivers for us!"

[EternalVigilance]

Yes, perhaps one might.

[Tonytitan]

On the other hand, let's see of Scozzafava denies it.

I wonder how well attended THAT news conference would be!

[tioga]

I don’t know, shouldn’t you ask the “pledge” expert?

[Carley]

I don’t believe it for a minute.

The msm will do anything possible to screw the conservative candidate.

[EternalVigilance]

Good call.

[Fiji Hill]

Nice pick there, Newt.

I'm curious as to what the Scozzafava supporters on Freerepublic will have to say.

[CAluvdubya]

LOL...Well, mojave.....buddy....what say you about your charming candidate now?

The flaw in your argument about Hoffman and the pledge you claim he made was that if he ever said such a thing, he would have been referring to a Republican candidate, not a Dem. Scozzawhatever is no Republican.

[niteowl77]

Which makes Newt even more laughable.

Yep. Hopefully this whole fiasco will have brought everyone up to speed regarding Newt Gingrich as he really is today.

[ladyjane]

The RNC PATHETIC!

Yeah, but they've proved to the world they're not racist. They've got themselves a black spokesman.

[EternalVigilance]

The msm will do anything possible to screw the conservative candidate.

I seriously doubt that in this case this hurts the conservative candidate.

[ez]

The poser reveals herself...
