Well, if you read my comments, I linked to the RCP poll that brought presumed Scozzafava success highly into doubt. I'm with you.
I simply raised the specter of Scozzafava winning and asked, 'would that have been good for the GOP?' Personally, I answer that NO.
Agreed. If Hoffman DID knock her out of the running, I say, good on him. If they have a DEM position let them run as a DEM.
