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."

So she took all the RNCC money and when things went South she switched sides. What a loser. Go Doug.

Newt is all primed now to get a job on CNN and pretend to be the loyal opposition. David Gergen the second.

Question for the NY freepers: will this really affect the outcome and do you truly believe that Hoffman will win? I hope that this does not sound like a dumb question, but given that I live in the Peoples Republic of Michigan, it is hard to take the pulse of the rest of the country when we are on life support.

Newt definitely hangs around the wrong crowd. He might as well declare himself a Democrat.

Where are all the vote for any Republican voices? Michael Steele and Newt Gingrich are taking a coffee break. They'll be back with the same old chant soon.

So who looks like the bigger Arse right now Newt or Steele

She’s an all out traitor! Boil in hell, witch!

This is going to backfire on them. All this does is prove that Doug Hoffman was correct in his assessment of Dede Scozzafava. She was no different from the Democrat and has shown as much by her behavior today.

Newt can just stay on the road for the rest of his political life as far as I’m concerned. Go away and stay away.

Petty. She let her bitterness get in the way of doing what was best for her district. The DNC probably promised her the moon to do this. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Zero himself called her.
At least this is one RINO that won’t be running under the “R” again.

The democrats so want this seat...Obama lures the Republican, McHugh, from the seat to be Army secretary, then the democrats load both candidate slots with two liberals so there wont be any chance in hell to lose! If thats not enough, the smartest History Professor in the Country, Newt, was willing to go along with the liberal Republican in order to keep the Republican Umbrella together no matter what the Republican candidate believed in, as long as there is an (R) next the candidates name> And along came a "political nobody" loaded with a Facebook page....

So who looks like the bigger Arse right now Newt or Steele I say Newt. Steele didn't choose her, but as the chairman of the RNC he didn't have much choice but to support her. Newt, on the other hand, intentionally butted into a race where he didn't belong and supported her unnecessarily.

Okay, so why did Republicans nominate this woman in the first place? Democrat-lite is bad enough. Full-blown Democrat is even worse.
