Winning Dede Scozzafava: How Dems got her nod ...because as Citizen Hoffman knew, she was always an obvious DEMOCRAT PARTY ACORN LOYALIST!
God Bless Doug Hoffman!
Special Thanks to Fred Thompson, who made a terrific campaign ad for Doug.

Once Hoffman wins, we should look into primarying Scozzafava and running candidates against all the Republican leaders in NY State who supported her in the rigged selection. She will probably switch parties. Thing is, it may be hard to win as a RAT in her district.
Regardless of what happens Tuesday, from the standpoint of her career I think this was a huge mistake on her part.

Love her definition of hijack her “moderate” wing of the party (sounds like Gingrich, doesn’t it”). She should NEVER been nominated by the Republicans, yet they supported her. The fact that she endorsed the Democrat in the race should be enough to remind those Republicans that supported her that they were not only wrong in their choice but really wrong!
I doubt that this will have much effect upon the Republican party or the national GOP though - they seem to be going through their own internal inspection and coming up WAY short!
Hey you stupid GOP elites - get a grip and maybe try viewing the internet and listening to your base’s ideals. I am beginning to think that you are all internet illiterate along with your inability to see the Tea Party activists that visited Washington. Maybe you’re really deaf and dumb after all...
Maybe you all just believe the MSM’s editorials and believe them - which makes you part of the elite beltway Republicans (of no use to the Republicans outside said loop)...

Two senior Democrats with ties to the White House praised Cuomos role in the operation, saying they were confident Scozzafava was on board after learning that she told Cuomo: "You're going to be the next governor of New York."
Also critical was Silvers assurance, in a phone conversation with Scozzafava, that the state Assembly Democratic caucus would embrace her if she chose to switch parties, now viewed as a real possibility after her endorsement Sunday of Owens.
June O'Neill, until earlier this year the New York Democratic Party chair, played an even more important role in courting Scozzafava, according to one New York official, because they go to the same social eventschurch bingo night and the high school dance.
My, oh, my......the White House and dem's sure are invested in this election. Dede probably believes their offers. In all likelihood her political career in any party is over. She'll be the last one to figure that out.

Scozzafava works as an investment advisor for RBC Dain Rauscher Inc., of Watertown, New York. According to her filed campaign reports, her husband and other family members are the largest donors to her campaigns.
Scozzafava is listed as Chief Operating Officer for the company on her legislative website, but claims that she has had no direct ties with the company since 2007. Her campaign website states she is Vice President of SC Partners, LLC
On July 22, 2009, Scozzafava was chosen by the eleven Republican Party county chairs
Scozzafava accepted the endorsement of the Working Families Party in her earlier assembly campaigns, with close ties between that party and liberal activist group ACORN

She took almost a million from the national party, now she goes over to the Democrats. Talk about bad faith.

By this time on Tuesday, we will see who played the better game of politics, the conservatives who demanded that Dede drop out or the Dems that seem to be pulling Dede's strings.

The Democrats, showing once more they are a party of subversion, have ALWAYS had her. They are doing her a scuzzy favor...and we have witnessed a person with no soul and some party leadership that is untrustworth at best and democrats at worst.

It is corruption at it’s finest. I don’t think our elections are any fairer than those in Iran. Chicago mobs have taken control of them. This will end up in the streets sooner or later.

This woman flirted with the idea of running as a Dem, so none of this is surprising. Frankly, the Democrat that traveled to NY to secure her support for the Dem candidate could simply have phoned her and accomplished the same thing. She never had any intention of offering support for Hoffman.

She was always a Democrat. Look at her positions.
The Rs were stupid (as usual) to sign her up.
