All good advice, but in this case there was no Republican primary, since NY law provides that in the case of special elections for the U.S. House of Representatives party nominees are selected by county chairmen of the counties in the district for each party. The ultraliberal Dede Scozzafava was thrust upon the district’s Republican voters by party hacks following orders from the RINO ex-state chairman.

Voters in the NY-23 should certainly vote against the Democrat in the general, and they should vote against the ultraliberal that doesn’t even deserve to be called a RINO as well. The candidate of the Conservative Party, Doug Hoffman, is the only Republican in the race, and he actually has a better chance of winning than Scozzafava.
