“Why didn’t someone challenge this RINO in the primaries?”

The GOP selected Dede Scozzafava so they could have someone in the (R) column. Doug Hoffman, her opponent on the right, is a conservative in the (C) column. He’s on the November ballot, but so is the (D).

Hoffman worked to become the person in the (R) column, but the NY GOP turned him down and picked an ACORN-associated leftists instead. Only then did Hoffman, still a registered republican, decide to run on the Conservative party line.

Here's all anyone needs to know about our delightful GOP elected officials. The former Rep. in this district, John McHugh, had a nearly perfect pro-life voting record for more than a decade. In June Obama appointed him Secretary of the Army and in his final three votes on the issue he voted pro-abortion.

Nothing like integrity.

The GOP SELECTED her? Huh? This gets worse and worse. Who is she? Someone's girlfriend?
