"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."

“Consequently, I hereby release those individuals who have endorsed and supported my campaign to transfer their support as they see fit to do so.”

The liberal witch STILL won’t endorse the conservative candidate.

A friend of mine from high school used to have an Irish Setter back then. Beautiful dog, but surely one of God's dumbest creatures. Their brains were bred out in favor of their beauty like Megan Fox and her sister starlets. He used to say that to train an Irish setter, first you had to whack 'em the head with a 2x4, to get their attention prior to "training." When you said, "Holy cow, the GOP is listening," my first thought was I think they've just been whacked with that proverbial 2x4 and now that we have their attention, we conservatives might be able to train them that the way of the RINO is a sure path to destruction.

I’m telling you, he’s on line down at the local CHEX CASHED outlet, shuffling his weight from side to side, anxious to exchange his “pay” check for as much cash as he can get before word gets around.

I hope that the RNC gets the message and vets any candidate BEFORE they get on the ballot.

...have to give the RINO credit for doing the right thing.

How did she do "the right thing"?

Read her statement below. She's clearly signaled that she wants her supporters to throw in with the Democrat candidate.

"I hereby release those individuals who have endorsed and supported my campaign to transfer their support as they see fit to do so."

Scuzzy can't even be called a RINO. She's a liberal Democrat plant.

Me either. He is done in the GOP, let alone the conservative movement. He’ll try the pundit thing, and that’s about all he’ll get. Anyone seeking his endorsement is a fool.

If you’re gonna call someone out by name, you should ping them to the post. Forum etiquette...

“In the words of the Verizon guy, “CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!?!?!” “

I don’t know if you’ve seen the advert of the suburban house mom
asking our public servants to not add a tax onto soft drinks and
fruit drinks.
She ends the commercial with something limp like
“Washington, are you listening?”

And fails to say:
“Well Washington, if you don’t hear us now...many of you will be
hearing from ALL OF US on the first Thursday of November next year!!!

Republicans/conservatives are just too nice to really hold the
libs/Dems feet to the fire.

How did she do "the right thing"?

Getting out of the race will be enough to give Hoffman the seat. That's the bottom line, and that's what I care about.

She did the right thing.

She did the most important thing - she got out of the way.

Be happy, instead of getting all bent because she didn’t endorse Hoffman which was never gonna happen anyway.

Owens may be a Rat, but his TV ad that I saw had a strong military theme...how he and his family served. I’m not doing cartwheels yet.

As I stated in a post following the recent debate between the 3 candidates, Dede had NO CONFIDENCE WHATSOEVER that she could win the race based upon her own comments and body language. She already knew she was toast, but I figured she was way too bitter to step out of the way.

This is a good thing she has done and I commend her for that. This really should give Hoffman the win, although I firmly believe he was going to win anyway.
