That is all it is, an endorsement. They made the stuff up about DeDe tossing her hat to owens.

Typical Liberal People maneuver, that's all. I've been looking at internals of recent polls and all over the web on blogs that are doing the same. The consensus is that the DeDe votes will break 2-1 or Hoffman and the hard core KoolAid drinkers who will vote for DeDe anyway are just going to siphon off votes that would have gone to Owens.

The real numbers I'll be looking for will be by what % does Hoffman win ad what % of the vote will DeDe still get. There could be a Schadenfreude in there somewhere.

The other thing about this is they imply that Hoffman is some kind of extremist. He appears to me to be nothing of the sort. He looks like a pretty mainstream conservative to me.

Mainstream conservatism IS sort of extreme compared to what we have right now in this country.

We hold this betrayal to be self-evident...

she [Scozzafava] began to quietly and thoughtfully encourage her supporters to vote for Democrat William L. Owens

No big loss. Her mom wouldn't have voted for Hoffman anyway.

No surprise there. The question is how many will cross over and vote for Owens and how many will just stay home.

Hey Newtie baby. Hows your chick-pick doin’ these days?

Newt must never be permitted to forget what he did in this race.

Newt, why don’t you just crawl into a hole and pull the hole in after you?

Mojave - who are you supporting now

If I lived in the district and was registered to vote there, I might have written in someone. But I don't live in the district.

But then, neither does Doug Hoffman.

Well, Scuzza could lay the “thoughtfully encouraging her supporters to support Owens” to rest in a moment by publicly denying it. Has she?

The commitment to support the Republican nominee?

Doug Hoffman backed her, not me.

she is a traitor and should be shamed and thrown out of the GOP.

LOL, The fish rots from the head they say, there are a lot of republicans, such as Newt "the Turd", that agree with her.

Remember that before her GOP godmather got her the nod, her Union biggie husband sounded out the Dims about running her.

Been searching but haven’t found anything. I thought you might find this of interest, though. You can see her true colors by following the money:

Well, I certainly wouldn’t put it past her, but keep in mind that this is an extreme left-wing paper that condemns Hoffman as an “ideologue” and endorses the Democrat. That little comment is slipped in as part of their endorsement.

So, it’s just possible that they are lying. Between one scum and the other, who knows what the real story is?

The commitment to her own party. Instead she shows her true colors by quietly telling her supporters to vote Democrat. She owes the Republican leadership who supported HER, and when she withdrew threw from the race, the party threw their support to Hoffman. There are a lot of things going on here......including the dirty trick she pulled to get the nomination to begin with. Harping on her cronies claims of a “pledge” is playing the part of useful idiot. You bought into the spin, admit it and move on.
