The RNC “kingmakers” had nothing to do with Scozzy being put on the R line. There was a rotten deceptive process that some friends of Scozzy used to put her on it despite her having very little support from the Republican county chairmen. See www.tcotreport.com for more details. There was no primary since this was a “special election”. The RNC, Mr.Newt, and other conservative GOPers apparently did not realize the way the process was manipulated, and simply “endorsed” Scozzy because the “local party chose her” before it was known just how corrupt that process was. Fortunately, some other conservatives had not yet followed that same path, noted the corruption, and made a big splash in endorsing Hoffman. I believe that every conservative should be happy they were able to short-circuit Scozzy’s election in NY-23 whether Hoffman wins or not, and that Mr.Steele, and many other GOP leaders will be thankful also.

I agree. She would have been miss bipartisan cover for Nancy Pelosi. As it is, even if Owens wins, we probably get the seat back in the next general election. If scuzzy whatever had won, it would have been permanent bipartisan cover for dems in that Dist. for years.
Even local party organizations have ‘kingmakers’.
I've heard other rumblings about this, but haven't seen it explained in such detail. If this is true, then the RNC, the RNCC, and every leading Republican who endorsed this woman was duped beyond all belief.
Pardon, if I can't completely suspend my disbelief at this point. It's a bit incomprehensible that the entire power structure of the national Republican party could be duped so easily, or be blindsided so badly by this woman who clearly had a voting record which could be checked.
If everything you say is true, then we need to add ineptness to the list of charges against the party leadership.
