This morning the Huffington Post reported earlier today, that the White House wanted Dede Scozzafava to endorse her former democratic opponent in the NY 23 election, in the worst way:
In the White House, at the very least, officials are bracing themselves for a loss, calling Scozzafava's departure bad news for Owens. The one hope, they say, is if Scozzafava -- who has more philosophical similarities with the Democratic Party than Hoffman's brand of Republicanism -- was to formally endorse her former rival.
"This hurts," one administration official told the Huffington Post on Saturday, "unless we can get her on board."

I wonder how the constituency will react to all of this. Will Republicans (Conservatives) be so fed up with this carnival act that they just won't show up at the polls? Will it invigorate Dem (liberal) voters?
I get so tired of watching the Republican Party hang its head in shame! It seems like conservatives are always in the position of defending themselves and apologizing. What about the behavior on the Democrats side? Dede's behavior is beyond shameful and the fact that the Democrats embrace it should scare the pants off of their supporters.
Dede Scozzafava = JUDAS May she suffer the same fate politically.
