"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."

Technically, this means that in NY-23 the Republican Party has now slipped from being the third party in this race to being no party to this race.

But yet she could not bring herself to even mention Hoffman in her statement.

This is huge! It validates those who supported Hoffman, and those who supported Scozzafava have egg on their face.

This is the turning point for the Republican party, and a cornerstone to rebuilding a Republican majority the right way.

Bold colors!

Thank you, that's the fellow. It appears that by endorsing her, Newt Gingrich effectively shrummed Ms. Scozzafava.

Getting out of the race will be enough to give Hoffman the seat. That's the bottom line, and that's what I care about.

Oh, I agree that dropping out of the race is a good thing for us, but don't believe for a second that this undercover leftist did what she did for any altruistic reasons.

Mojave must be deeply saddened. Like Newt, went all in with a pair of fives.

Doesn't sound like an endorsement to me!

How often do politicians do the right thing? Dede Scozzafava just did and we should not gloat. Hoffman should have gotten the nomination anyway and now he has it because if he wins he will caucus with the Republicans

Newt Gingrich and Michael Steele! What jackasses. Losers! Chumps!

Scozzafava has shown pure class by leaving the race. My guess is some senior Republicans advised her it was best to end her race

Thanks Dede Scozzafava! You did the right thing

“I hereby release those individuals who have endorsed and supported my campaign to transfer their support as they see fit to do so.”

As opposed to...

“Vote for the Democrat.”

I dont see how they match up.

Besides, those people are not robots that need to be ordered as to who to vote for.

Don’t be surprised to see this upset rino endorse the democrat. It happened in Maryland’s 1st congressional district when conservatives rose up to defeat the rino. NEVER TRUST A RINO! SCREW NEWT AND THE RNC!!

Be happy, instead of getting all bent because she didn’t endorse Hoffman...

Oh, I'm happy, alright. I'm only pointing out to those who are giving Scuzzy props, that she doesn't deserve any.

***Applause for Dede***

How 'bout applause for us? We did this, not her, or her RINO masters in the Republican party.

She gets the sound of one hand clapping from me.

Go Doug!
