It sounds like the GOP is going to hand yet another GOP seat to the Dems:

Many conservatives feel that Scozzafava's record isn't conservative enough to warrant their party's line.

"I have said 'I am the conservative Republican' in this race. Today, (NYS Conservative Party) Chairman Mike Long and the Conservative County Chairs from the 23rd CD confirmed that," Hoffman said in a statement.

Well she did vote FOR this bill. I'm probably more of a big tenter here than many but there has to be a line somewhere...............

Official Title of Legislation:

A 7732: An act to amend the domestic relations law, in relation to the ability to marry.

Official Synopsis:

This bill provides same-sex couples the same opportunity to enter into civil marriages as opposite-sex couples. The bill also provides that no member of the clergy may be compelled to perform any marriage ceremony.

Highlights:

-Recognizes marriages regardless of sex, and grants same-sex couples the same protections, responsibilities, rights, obligations, and benefits possessed by different-sex couples (Sec. 1).

-Provides that no marriage license shall be denied on account of the sex of the parties involved (Sec. 3).

-Establishes that clergymen, ministers and Society for Ethical Culture leaders shall not be required to solemnize any marriage (Sec. 4).

Steve!
Thanks so much for posting this. I was for Kelly, but sign me up. If Hoffman is reasonably acceptable on social issues, I will drive north and join the effort. It is being discussed by various pro-family groups.

Let me read up on Hoffman.
I NEVER DO 3RD PARTY STUFF. But Dede is TOAST. Count me in.
