Methinks Scozzabean is looking to the future knowing she can’t win now. If she appears to ‘do the honorable thing’ with bowing out then she may have favor in a future race plus she will not be tagged with the loss in the election.
I bet she is pulling for Owens since she can have another chance in 2010 if Hoffman (God forbid) loses!
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.
