It sure looks that way. Some people are blaming the Scuzzafava debacle on the scumbag "GOP" committee in New York that selected this liberal Democrat to run on the GOP ticket, but that excuse turns lame when you see people like Gingrich vociferously supporting her, and key Republican "leaders" in Washington DC sending checks to her. Yipes.
I found it really hard to believe that Newt made a public point of supporting her. As a party-man, he could be forgiven had it just been a matter of sending one’s monthly check. But, you’ve gotta wonder if he really read what she stood for. If he knew about her and still supported her, then he definitely isn’t the person to lead the party out of the abyss.
