"Today, I again seek to act for the good of our community,"

"It is increasingly clear that pressure is mounting on many of my supporters to shift their support. Consequently, I hereby release those individuals who have endorsed and supported my campaign to transfer their support as they see fit to do so. I am and have always been a proud Republican. It is my hope that with my actions today, my party will emerge stronger and our district and our nation can take an important step towards restoring the enduring strength and economic prosperity that has defined us for generations."

er, I meant this will almost assuredly win the race for Owens.

Sad but that’s what I think will happen.

I hope I am wrong and most of her supporters actually go Hoffman.

Most of the other RINOS (her supporters) will vote for Hoffman, IMO.

Apparently, she wouldn’t want to meet YOU in a dark alley, would she?

No idea what you are talking about. I do not hang around in dark alleys.

"Today, I again seek to act for the good of our community,"

Translation: "I want to give the Democrat a better chance of winning, since it is looking less and less likely that I will."

Wow. Hell just froze over. Dede Scozzafava is apparently actually supporting Hoffman. No longer shall I refer to her as Diddly Dee Scozza Fava Beans.

notice she is still a SLIMY RINO.

She released her supporters WITHOUT urging them to directly support hoffman.

just what we would expect out of a leftist RINO.

Maybe, just maybe, the pubbies are getting our message that we are tired of RINOs and will no longer support them.

Actually, I wonder if there's a chance of that happening?

This speaks well of a classy lady.

What classy lady would that be? Surely you're not referring to the stealth leftist, Scuzzybama.

Devastating, Reign. I’ve always loved Newt, but he’s now been overtly exposed as an old school power broker, not a genuine conservative.

If she appears to ‘do the honorable thing’ with bowing out then she may have favor in a future race...

She not ever likely to get the nod again after this race. It's created far too big of a wave of interest for her to ever be able to sweep it under the rug.

We won't forget what happened here, nor will we forget that she's actually a stealth leftist infiltrator.

Yes, I see that now, they've fleshed out the article.

There was just a statement to that effect on the site when I first posted it, which is why I included the caveat.

This could be a real cliffhanger, huh?

If Hoffman does in fact win now, it will set Sarah up nicely for her Oparah appearance in a November!

PALIN POWER!!

She did the right thing. Good on her. This should help Hoffman quite a bit. Scuzzy had party faithful support, so they should mostly break for Hoffman.

Gingrich just crawled to the feet of Mrs. Palin with his last second endorsement of Hoffman.

Now maybe he’ll keep on crawling right out the door.
