David Vickers ? ;-D

Republican leaders in New York have chosen state Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava as their nominee for the special election to replace Army Secretary-designate John McHugh (R-N.Y.).
County chairmen for the 23rd district made the selection on Wednesday. The chairmen choose their nominee in lieu of a primary process for special elections in the Empire State.
“I congratulate Dede Scozzafava for receiving the nomination to represent our party and make the case for tax relief, economic development and opportunity,” state party chairman Joseph Mondello said. “We desperately need her voice to oppose the Democrats’ plans to stifle our economy, tax business out of existence and constrain individuals’ potential for success.”

David Vickers ? ;-D
i have no idea what that parrot is doing in this thread!
This is serious business, my friend!
Susan Estrich and Doug Schoen were on Hannity today, baffled about how we got an extremist in the White house.
I chuckled when I saw the name David Vickers. He’s the infamous, but charming roué on “One Life To Live.”
Susan Estrich was going on about an extremist in the WH ? And it wasn’t Dubya she was referring to ?
“Estrich was married to screenwriter, professor and former speechwriter Marty Kaplan.[citation needed] She is Jewish, having been Bat Mitzvahed at Temple Israel in Swampscott, Massachusetts, and has written about her religion in her column.[7]
Estrich was very outspoken during the 2008 presidential race, particularly on the subject of women in politics in light of the candidacies of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. Estrich supported Clinton in the Democratic primaries”
is it possible that Jewish Dems are turning on Obama because of Israel and they are using other issues, i.e. healthcare, to attack him? Is they go after him on Israel, it wouldn’t be nearly as effective.
I wonder, however, if the ‘12 matchup is between Palin and the False Messiah if Estrich could pull the lever for Palin... Jewish Democrats, unfortunately, tend to wear the second word as a religion more than the first.
I’d still rather she lose so she’s not entrenched. Hopefully then a Republican will be nominated in 2010. She looks pretty bad.
Estich? The shrill witch who was drunk of her @ss on election night 2004?
She’s not on the Barry express? LOL
If Scozzafava wins, she can be primaried next year. Remember, it wasn’t long ago when Mark Walberg removed one-term RINO John Schwarz in Michigan.
It’s all too rare for a RINO incumbent to fall in the primary. The party bosses and NRCC would back her.
It’s certainly possible she could lose the primary seeing as how she didn’t even have to go through one this year. Schwartz was the only big RINO is a crowded field and won much less than 50%.
But if she lost that might send a wakeup call to those morons.
We know she’s a BIG-time social liberal. If she could convince me she’s a strong supporter of free market polices which I doubt since very few big-time social liberals are, then I’d give her my meaningless endorsement. She looks like she’s worse than Mark Kirk, she could be the biggest RINO in the house if elected (dems wanted to recruit her?). As you said if she were running in Manhattan, or Montco Maryland like Connie Morrela the biggest RINO in recent history that would be another thing.
As it stands my advise to freepers in that district is to vote for the Conservative party (their standards are NOT high, they’re mostly a patronage outfit nowadays, and they won’t back Dede) or if they don’t field a candidate to smear dog doo on their blank ballots.
I believe this is the first race in my time here where I have specifically advised not voting for the ‘Republican’.
I don’t see the upside to having another super-rino in there for a year, considering the downside is she could be there for 10 years.
if it is accurate to say that Obama is showing himself to be hostile toward Israel, his support among some of the establishment will disappear very fast.
They WILL destroy his administration if that is their conclusion. Schoen is a long-time consultant for Likud, despite the fact that he is a liberal DEM. I think it is not insignificant that he was on Sean Hannity ripping Obama. Of course, he’s also a Clintonite.
“It’s all too rare for a RINO incumbent to fall in the primary”
Unfortunately it is. But we saw it happen in 06(Walberg over Schwarz) and again in 08(Harris over Gilchrest). I should happen more often, but most of the Main Street RINOs lost their seats already anyway.
Yes, but this is NY. There’s only been 1 NY House Republican taken down in a primary in at least 3 decades, and that was freshman David Levy by Dan Frisa on L.I. in ‘94 (and that was a “grudge” rematch).
2009 CA - 32 special election
Judy Chu 15,238 61.67%
Betty Chu 8,185 33.12%
C Agrella 1,287 5.21%
This is a great opportunity to run somebody excellent on the conservative Line. In a special election, in this climate, it could become a 3-way race. Perhaps a pipedream, but worth the shot.
Looks like conservative Maroun almost made it. They held Dede under 50% for 2 ballots with Maroun in second place. I called him a month ago to offer my full-time help. He never returned the call.
“The party chairs met at Serge’s Restaurant in Potsdam Wednesday afternoon. There were four ballots, said Franklin County Republican Chairman Jim Ellis; the fourth made the results unanimous.
Ellis said Franklin County Legislator Paul Maroun of Tupper Lake came in second in the first two rounds, and Watertown businessman Matt Doheny also did well”

"Yet some Republicans are already signaling that they would rather lose the seat than win it with a standard-bearer whom they view as a milquetoast moderate (Impy: liberal) — one who has acknowledged that she discussed running for the seat as a Democrat last month with state Democratic Party officials. She’s also married to a leading labor official in the region who has close ties to local Democratic leadership."
Trojan horse. A picture of a donkey (or rat) in an Elephant costume would be appropriate. I thought they just tried to recruit her, she actually seriously considered it and her husband is a union hack so obviously she doesn't like the free market.

Definitely not a “hold your nose for her” situation. She has a bright red D carved on her chest.
