    Republican Dierdre Scozzafava abruptly suspended her campaign today.  She did so while saying
    "I hereby release those individuals who have endorsed and supported my campaign to transfer their support as they see fit."

    She did not however endorse the conservative Hoffman, who is in reality a Republican. Enough said?

    Conservatism is quite alive.. and well.

    God Bless America..

    Steele has turned his backing to Hoffman. A very good move.

    This actually bodes well for the Republicans IMO for upcoming races.  It will solidify the message.

    I'm glad that Dede has dropped out.  Ed Morressey believes the withdrawal will help Hoffman versus Owens.  

    I have not found anything yet from Michael Barone who speaks the gospel of such things.

    This whole cluster could have been avoided if the party heads in the NY County GOP's picked someone who was a fit for the district instead of a crony.

    When there is no primary, the county parties pick candidates. That's sometimes the case in Michigan as well for township offices after a recall.

    That's one reason why our county party leadership positions is so important.

    ...with the Party itself.

    But on Sunday, Scozzafava backed Democrat Bill Owens -- the announcement was made in a statement sent out by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

    "I am supporting Bill Owens for Congress and urge you to do the same," she said. "In Bill Owens, I see a sense of duty and integrity that will guide him beyond political partisanship. He will be an independent voice devoted to doing what is right for New York. Bill understands this district and its people, and when he represents us in Congress he will put our interests first."

    Sure sounds a lot like Colin Powell last year and that is what needs to be eliminated from the GOP.

    For cripes sake, one would be led to believe that when Hillary went after ObaMao last year she sounded about the same kind of Republican that ScozzaUnionschill is.  Unfortunately, they are the same, it's just that they're both liberals.

    They must be weeded out.

    Jackass. The liberal "republicans" always tell us conservatives to "play nice." The Joe Schwarz types back the democrats when they lose. The conservatives who lose take one for the team in most cases.

    I don't forget that stuff.

    This is nothing more than a defrauding of $1,000,000.00 if Rep. Issa is right about Rahmbo's involvement from the White House.  One cannot ignore this either.

    And, this clown can now take full ownership of his endorsement.

    Newt misrepresented fact with the nomination process and needs to go away.  "that guarantees a Speaker Pelosi for life..."  So, how's that Scozzafava thingy working out for you now Newt?

    As expected, Newt covered his ass.  The flipper tweets:

    newtgingrich: Scozzafava dropping out leaves hoffman as only anti-tax anti-pelosi vote in ny 23 Every voter opposed to tax increases support doug hoffman

    I wonder what Newt was tweeting today... How crow tastes maybe?
