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."

Vichy republicans always collaborate with the enemy
GOP and Democrat...two branches of the same ruling oligarchy.
I just knew that was going to happen.
Her too.
did newt endorse the dem?
He was at the WH recently. His name was on the visitor list.
she needs to get voted OUT of office.....come on, isn’t there a REAL pubbbie in that district?

Yeah, who saw this coming (duh, EVERY ONE OF US!)
Things will become clearer with RINOs if Hoffman wins.
If Hoffman loses, it will show that a "true conservative" can't win a 100-year GOP district under extremely favorable circumstances, meaning that the "dump the RINOs" program is misguided and foolish.
What a test! And we get to find out the answer in 48 hours!

Another reliable “moderate”. And we need them in the party because?
These people can always be counted on to disappoint when the rubber meets the road. They are nothing but liberal Democrats who can’t bring themselves to say it out loud.
before we carry this celebration too far.........Hoffman qualifies as a RINO on the immigration issue. while he is the preferred candidate, he is not as conservative as I am.
Judas got 30 pieces of silver for walking up to Jesus in the garden of Gethsemenae and kissing him on the cheek. Judas, later, fell into a field, and his guts burst.
How many are you willing to cram in your apartment? ;)
“She had better resign from the party. She should no longer be welcome at local party functions.”
Exactly, Persona non Grata.
“Hows that Newt?”
How’s that “Big Tent” thing going. LOL
