"I was approached by someone in Dede Scozzafava's sphere who said she wanted to meet with me. I said this is going nowhere, but they persisted, so I agreed to meet with Dede in Lake Placid. At the meeting, which took place just a few weeks before the Republican County Chairmen met in Potsdam to select their nominee, she told me that the Democrats had been talking to her about running in the special election as a Democrat. 'Wouldn't you rather be with the winner?' she asked me. I came away from that meeting convinced that she was completely devoid of any principle."
No, it was no accident. Scozzafava may not care if she wins or not at this point. The race is between the Unions (comprised of 2 candidates) and the conservatives...nothing more nothing less.
This is a case that it would be best and crazy great if the third party Conservative wins, but better for the Democrat to win than the RINO. It hopefully sends a message either way to Republican leadership. Americans - Conservatives - are mad as @#&& and we arn't going to take it anymore.
