Republican Dede Scozzafava endorsed her former Democratic opponent Sunday in the race for an upstate New York congressional seat, one day after Scozzafava dropped out of the contest.
Scozzafava dropped out after Conservative Party candidate Dough Hoffman experienced a late-in-the-game surge. But on Sunday, Scozzafava backed Democrat Bill Owens -- the announcement was made in a statement send out by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
"I am supporting Bill Owens for Congress and urge you to do the same," she said. "In Bill Owens, I see a sense of duty and integrity that will guide him beyond political partisanship. He will be an independent voice devoted to doing what is right for New York. Bill understands this district and its people, and when he represents us in Congress he will put our interests first."

from RedState:
And Pete Sessions, Chairman of the NRCC, and Guy Harrison, Executive Director of the NRCC, still have their jobs.

So how is everything going? You’ve been railed pretty hard and I can only conclude that an (R)chair is your position.
To: Behind Liberal Lines; NavVet
I also go with Newt. Steele was bad, but to be fair, as a Chairman of the RNC, he had to listen and show support to the local Republican. The same cannot be said about Newt. To make it even worse, Newt publicly belittled those who endorsed Hoffman.

She’s doing this primarily because i bet you, the Dems have promised to drop her into a safe seat as soon as possible and frankly all we need to do is say “sour grapes” because thats what it is.

Megan McCain: if you make this party smaller, there will be less members and less voters and we will continue losing elections, why is this so difficult
for the extreme side of the party to understand? I wish more moderates would get out there and take the heat, we are here and not leaving!
WOW, she's almost quoting Valerie Jarett's message. See my post
here which includes this quote from UPI,
Jarrett: GOP leadership becoming extreme
............Senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett said on ABC's "This Week" that the late withdrawal of a moderate Republican contender from an upstate New York congressional seat last week was evidence that GOP party leaders "are becoming more and more extreme and more and more marginalized. Look at the number of people who actually say that they are registered, consider themselves a Republican.".............

“

“cant believe some members of the GOP are so scared of me”
Gotta be kidding me.
Has Megan McCain ever met any normal human being that has ever been scared of her?

When I first clicked on the thread, I thought this had to be satire....
Newt and Steele can NEVER eat enough crow to make up for this. They both need to go away.

1 million spent by the GOP only to alienate conservatives and have the woman endorse her own kind. Priceless. LOL
Not sure it matters though. It probably depends on whether you believe her remaining support came from people who supported her, or just people supporting the GOP ticket. I think the latter.

That tells you who the Republicans really support, the same old-same old. These a**holes can all go to hell!
If you are not a conservative, get the HELL out of the way. Newt and his “friends” have a bright light shining on them. They had better get their heads out of their rectal cavity.
It is a new day.
