It’s tempting to lay the blame at the feet of Michael Steele, but it really lays with the local party chieftains who thrust this abomination on the district. Every last one of them who did should be removed from office. But then, I wonder if Steele ever bothered to pick up a phone and tell them to do the right thing ?
NY Right-to-Life basically told me they were too busy so they were going to pretend this election isn’t happening. So there was no local movement to stop Dede.
She must have wondered where the opposition went.

“I’ve been an independent since I was 18,” Owens said.
“People who think I was a Republican all these years don’t know me well enough.” Owens has also served as a host on Mountain Lake Public Television news shows.
He said he wants to join Congress so he can fight for the people of the North Country.
MUST BE ONE OF SCHUMER’S SELECTIONS, AN ALLEGED BLUE DOG.

From what I understand a call would have little (or no) effect, but you’re right...it might have been worth the effort...I think we need a war time conigliere, though...that just was so hard to believe and it is so outrageous...
IF I were a betting man, I would say Owens is a lock. Unless Dede is removed or drops out. But don’t tell everybody.
You are correct. It’s not Steele’s fault.
In fact, I think he said that no money would go toward her campaign if she were the nominee.
