Republican Scozzafava Suspends New York Congressional Campaign
Fox News ^ | October 31, 2009 | Fox ews

Posted on 10/31/2009 8:09:06 AM PDT by libstripper

Republican state Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava has suspended her campaign for upstate New York's 23rd Congressional seat, leaving Democratic nominee Bill Owens and Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman in the race that will conclude Tuesday.

The move comes on the heels of a new poll that showed Scozzafava had fallen behind her two competitors in a race too close.

The Siena College poll has Owens picking up 36 percent of the vote, while Hoffman has 35 percent. Scozzafava has 20 percent, with nine percent of voters undecided.

It's a turnaround from the first Siena poll on the race in September, which had Scozzafava leading, followed by Owens and Hoffman.

She also shows how much of a Republican she is by not endorsing Hoffman (sarc/off). Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Great! This exactly what needs to happen nationally.
Take a hint you rino losers! Either jump on board the conservative band wagon, or GTF out of the way!

Evidently not and that is not a surprise.

I just want Newt to go out, apologize for his misguided stupidity, and to “lead” any of his followers who might be voters in this district - to vote wholeheartedly for Hoffman!

Newt is still a “leader” to many and needs to apologize and get right on this issue immediately.

Same with any who endorsed the RINO.

Newt is becoming more and more like Pat Buchanan as time goes by.

Despite the knee jerk doom and gloom spin around here this is an in direct endorsement of Hoffman. Since most of her voters were voting for the R next to her name, they are hardly likely to go to the Democrat.

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

This is a Republican district. Been in GOP hands since the Civil War. Doubtful many of her supporters, most of whom were voting for the R next to her name, are going to switch to the Democrats. Most will either stay home or vote for Hoffman.

If this were in Kansas, our silly Republian moderates would vote for the Democrat.
