THE hard-fought battle be tween the left, the near-left and the right being waged in New York's 23rd Congressional District has attracted national attention because of its serious implications for scores of congressional races across the country next year.

The stakes for national Democrats and Republicans are enormous. The three-way North Country contest is a referendum on President Obama's policies and on the GOP's willingness to back RINO (Republican In Name Only) candidates in traditionally moderate-to-conservative districts.

The stakes for New York's own hapless GOP -- moribund, disillusioned and virtually leaderless as it is -- mirror those for national Republicans, but the effect will be more immediate.

Forget Va and NJ, this is the real contest in Tues. election. All those blue dog Democrats and RINO’s will have their eyes on this one. If Hoffman wins it will be a shot across the bow for 2010.

“The Republican candidate, Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, is a past ally of the radical Working Families Party who’s to the left of Obama on gay marriage and abortion..”
Clueless Dicker doesn’t do his home work. Sorry to tell you Freddie but Dede is NOT “past ally of the radical Working Families Party” you fool she IS the WFP candidate right now in THIS election!
For those not from NYS: Please be careful of anything this guy says.

Dede is not Dem-lite. She's more full of leftist fat and cholesterol than the Dem.

If Obama had his way the bald eagle would be replaced with the barking moonbat.

You’re right in that it would p.o. the libs more than any of the others but getting rid of Corzine and his high tax policies is equally important.

Neither should happen but I’m pretty sure at least one will turn the conservatives way. (Not that Chubby Tubby Pubbie is all that conservative but we’re talking about New Jersey, after all)

Regardless of that item, I think we can all agree that DEDE MUST GO!
