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.
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).
