GOP party bosses instead chose to nominate NY Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava

So who exactly did this nomination and why?

From what I’ve read, the former NY GOP chair picked Scozzabarfa just before resigning. This is the same guy who picked Tedisco, if you’ll recall that particular losing race.

That’s THE question. Those people need to be id’d and sent over to the party they like, the Dim Party!

The way to stop bad nominations is to fill precinct committee chairpeople with true conservatives. In order for a candidate to get the nomination, all precinct committee chairs get a vote in a state convention.
In our state, there are a large percentage of these chairs open and unfilled. If people would participate in the grassroots, the bad candidates could be discarded.

Every FReeper needs to try and become a precint chair in their area. Mine is actually vacant. I have no qualifications or anything but heck, I might go for it. Unemployed and nothing better to do.

I guess the party bosses want to teach us upstarts a lesson, especially in the blue states.
