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.
Again, without citing a source, this paper says she is supporting Hoffman:
I think the article cited in this post is an attempt to by the Watertown Daily to show support for their new endorsement. They are a left leaning paper and I suspect would use any means to bolster their new endorsement of Owens. Much like others will use various means to bolster their positions or party.
From the article:

A changed race
snip:
In her statement Saturday morning, the assemblywoman explained the reasons behind her decision: “It is increasingly clear that pressure is mounting on many of my supporters to shift their support. Consequently, I hereby release those individuals who have endorsed and supported my campaign to transfer their support as they see fit to do so.”
During the day Saturday, she began to quietly and thoughtfully encourage her supporters to vote for Democrat William L. Owens. [This without any substaination] ........
The Watertown Daily Times initially endorsed Ms. Scozzafava as the best-qualified candidate in the race. We still think she is. However, in suspending her campaign she released her supporters’ commitment to her. That left voters to choose between Mr. Owens and Mr. Hoffman.
Of the two, Bill Owens is by far the superior and only choice........
The Times endorses Bill Owens for Congress.
end snips.....
Well, Scuzza could lay the “thoughtfully encouraging her supporters to support Owens” to rest in a moment by publicly denying it. Has she?
When you posted it as a News article, you are claiming it as News. This is not a news source, this is an editorial. Meanwhile other local papers claim she is backing Hoffman.

If you do not mean to claim it as fact, please don’t post it as news.
It probably is true but for now it is hearsay and rumor, not fact. Going off half cocked like this makes us look as inept as the Leftist media.
