Dede Scozzafava, the Republican nominee who issued an election eve endorsement of Democrat Bill Owens in the Nov. 3 New York special election, will meet with Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb Monday to discuss whether she will be stripped of her Assembly leadership position.
POLITICO has learned that Kolb will announce after the face-to-face meeting whether Scozzafava, the Minority Leader Pro Tempore, will remain as the GOP floor leader.
“Fundamentally my members are very disappointed with her endorsement of Bill Owens and aiding him in helping achieve the Nancy Pelosi health care plan in Washington,” Kolb said.
Scozzafava’s last-minute endorsement, issued one day after she dropped out of the race, gave Owens a key boost in the close race and helped deliver a congressional seat held by the GOP for more than a century to the Democratic Party.
Owens defeated Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman 49 percent to 46 percent, with Scozzafava, whose name remained on the ballot, pulling in 5 percent.

You didn't think a liberal would endorse another liberal Democrat? Time to wipe the egg off your face, Cox.
They are only MULLing it?
Well, I hope their MULLing doesn’t take to frigging long.
Why is there even a meeting? Strip her of the title and ban her from the caucus. Shun her like a leper.
If you believed that based on her history, you are a fool and need to resign your position too.
The OP(formerly the GOP) endorses her knowing her positions on various issues are in agreement with the socialist RATs and now stripping her of a post couldn’t be more disingenuous.
including that one giant step of endorsing the democrat,
Watch her do a “Specter” and jump right to the DemocRATic party after the meeting.
“Mulls”?
“MULLS???”...
Couldn’t they have found a way to write this story without using the word “stripping” and Scozzafava in the same sentence?
It’s no wonder the (R) party is in such deep do do. These people have to be right out of their minds by not banishing this wretch from anything to do with the Republican Party.
Michael Steele needs to be mulling his resignation letter. Anything less is a sham.
Stripping her of a post??? How about kicking her out of the party!!!
The fact that they are even taking the time to think about this is proof that we need to surge and purge the whole damn lot of them out the door.
I expect the same thing ... however, she could shoot herself in the foot by doing so. She may have trouble getting re-elected from her district as a RAT.
-—Watch her do a “Specter” -—
ABDO-LUTELY!
The GOP and Democrats have really converged quite a bit over the past few years.
Strip her. We don’t want her.
MULLS??? It’s been six freakin’ days, why hasn’t she been run out on a rail already?
She would make good dog food...and lots of it too.!
