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."

Not exactly a surprise, she probably would have switched parties if elected.

The blue blood Republicans are looking like the pack weasels that we all knew they were. I know if I post the profanity that is in my heart that Jim and the Mods will take me out back behind the woodshed. But as God knows my heart, I hate these people now.

“And Steele backs scozzafava”
Doesn’t this mean that the GOP supports the Democrat by default?

She had better resign from the party. She should no longer be welcome at local party functions. Why would you say such a thing? I thought we were supposed to reach across the aisle, to work together for the common good, in a post-racial, post-partisan America! /sarc>

so why did Republicans nominate this woman in the first place? There wasn't a primary. She was chosen by her local party officials, 4-5 of her little social clique friends.

Someone replied to a post I made on one of the threads yesterday giving Scozzafava props for doing the right thing... I think they should eat their words...I was one of those that was grateful to her for bowing out. I am big enough to say that I was wrong in reply to your petty request. Feel better now?

Or, maybe we should resign from this party if she doesn’t.

Now the RNC needs to ask for their campaign contributions back along with anyone else who supported her.

Newt Gingrich, currently touring the country with Al Sharpton.
To promote Barack’s ‘education’ policies.
1994 is truly dead and gone.
Time for new people at the forefront.
To: Gritty
Newt hasn’t ‘jumped the shark’, he’s gone full on ‘raped the Edith’. That’s the level beyond jumping the shark.
