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."

she never switched sides IMO , she was all along a Dem but acted as a R .
That way the Dems would win either way but they never counted on Hoffman.
We have to look at every republican and look at their voting and out these rats.
To the Dems
what a dirty trick
placing two candidates and one posing as a republican
just said on an other post Jim
I do not think she has switched sides, I think she was a Dem all along.
The Dems put two people in the race one as a D and the other an R that way they win either way plus using republican money and my bet is that they have done it for some time around the country but this time they never counted on Hoffman.
I think the GOP needs to look at every republican who won since they took power and look at their voting record as it seems the GOP have been infiltrated...
Before you hang him out to dry, it may be because he has not been directly exposed to this issue...
I may be wrong, yet if he has a voting record that supports the continued coddling of people illegally in this country from his area way up away from the battle down our way in the border states, I would almost give him a pass till our state delegation can give him the real story...
And I am not questioning your conservative creds either...Lets get him in there and see if he can tote the load...
Unless you want to go ahead and give a known factor (liberal) the job, and be sure the illegal immigration issue is swept further away from being resolved (in the right way)...
The way I see it, that NY-23 will go to Hoffman, Virginia will have an “R” as governor...And NJ will unfortunately go in a close race back to Corzine...
But that is just my opinion and observation...
maybe or she is a dem from the start with the backing of the Dems secretly
A few of the moderate Dems make Scuzzy look like a left wing Dem.
With her and her husband’s political beliefs and associations, they had to be Democrats at one point in time as that dist. has a majority of Republicans and are Conservative to moderate conservatives.
Scuzzy couldn’t win progress in politics as a dem in the 23rd so looks like she went the expedient route
“Yesterday I was accused of not being charitable to scuzzy favors because I wasnt up there kissing her left wing arse and weeping with gratitude that she gave up the ghost by stepping out of the race.”
Yep. We as Conservatives have a goodness of heart unlike our counterparts and from now on this is a good lesson. The response from Conservatives should be “Don’t let the door hit you in the _ _ _!” in situations like this in the future. Or just a non-response. Some people are deaf and dumb to a kind response and dust shaking needs to take place in those situations.
Newt, are you listening?
The GOP and Newt Gingrinch have egg on their faces for supporting another turncoat. I hope they are happy now. This just to show you can’t trust anyone who has no morals. When will they realize this?
exactly why I have been saying that she was and is a Dem plus the Dems knew this but told her to run as a R that way they field two people but they never counted on Hoffman spoiling their victory.
Lets face it the Dems have been putting their people in acting as R’s for some time.
If the R wins the Dem win and if the Dems wins then they still win.
Look at many R’s who have win in solid R areas but vote more like a Dem.
Sean and Newt are two of a kind in most respects.
Sean because he’s not the brightest bulb in the string, and Newt because he’s just plain evil.
This will result in more conservative voters turning out for the Conservative, not less.
It’s because Sean is not a real conservative.
I agree.
Yeah, it’s pretty ironic. The posters who were making light of betraying the Republican Party just yesterday are now all doing 180s.
Oh my, look what I found at newt.org:
Education Road Tour with Gingrich, Duncan and Sharpton continues
The combination of a conservative republican in Gingrich and the liberal democrat Sharpton is very surprising admitted Sharpton, but pointed out they were will to put aside their differences at Obamas call to join hands to emphasize the plight of public education in the United States.
What a RINO/idiot!
Newt is not sharp enough to even realize what a useful idiot he is.
I can’t believe this. I just can’t. The RNC endorsed this woman! I musta slipped and hit my head.
Hello? Mr. Steele? Is anybody home?
If you don’t see the difference ...I wonder why Free Republic appeals to you. This is a conservative site.
