"Today, I again seek to act for the good of our community,"

"It is increasingly clear that pressure is mounting on many of my supporters to shift their support. Consequently, I hereby release those individuals who have endorsed and supported my campaign to transfer their support as they see fit to do so. I am and have always been a proud Republican. It is my hope that with my actions today, my party will emerge stronger and our district and our nation can take an important step towards restoring the enduring strength and economic prosperity that has defined us for generations."

Well then! Kudos for doing the right thing.

No matter how the FM ("fringe media," formerly the "mainstream media") spins this, this event is a MILESTONE in current American politics. Happy Halloween to all!

“He chose...poorly...”

AGAIN...

Newt Gingrich’s Race to ‘08 Predictions

Gingrich predicted that McCain would choose Gov. Charlie Crist of Florida, Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina, or his current opponent in the race, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, as his running mate.

“Or he could do something truly different and potentially ask [Democratic Senator] Joe Lieberman to form a unity ticket because of the war to bring together Democrats and Republicans. I think Senator McCain has a wide range of choices,” Gingrich said.

Good for her. If she endorses Hoffman, even better.

She must be pretty sure that she's going to lose.

To Mark Davis:

“How’s that Scozzafava thing workin’ out for ya?”

I wanted to puke listening to this guy (on Rush’s show) lecturing/warning we conservatives about backing Hoffman!

And he did something truly different. He gave us Sarah. Newt don’t like that neither. LOL

She was never our ally. She is anathema to every Conservative value in the history of the world. With friends like that.....

Sorry, but this is exactly what we shouldn’t do! These RINO’s are a cancer on our party! Good grief, it’s this wishy-washy attitude that got us in this mess in the first place!

Let her join the RATS!

She didn’t say that. She said her supporters are free to vote as they see fit to do so, in other words not to vote at all or vote for Owens, and she didn’t have time to address all the things that were said about her, and her name is still on the ballot. What a self-serving statement, but what did we expect?

Total red herring - she did this to screw the conservative...most of her supporters are leftists - this is bad news for hoffman unfortunately. I hope that I am wrong but I believe the GOP hates hoffman and they want to shove it in our faces if he loses - the GOP probably asked her to quit because they want the lib to win.

Time to wake up! The GOP is really just dem light - they are taking us down the same path. Newt, McCain, Bush etc... are “one worlders” who could give a crap about the constitution. Its all about power and destroying America.

NYS GOP is an acronymic oxymoron.

Dont be so naive - she did this to screw the conservatives - her remaining supporters are leftists. This was engineered by the GOP, make no mistake, they saw the writing on the wall and forced her out so that the lib could win.

WAKE UP
