Scozzafava drops out of race: What will Newt have to say now?
Posted by AWB in Congressional RacesFrom the Watertown Daily Times.
Dede Scozzafava, the Republican and Independence parties candidate, announced Saturday that she is suspending her campaign for the 23rd Congressional District and releasing all her supporters.
The state Assemblywoman has not thrown her support to either Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate, or Bill Owens, the Democratic candidate.
“Today, I again seek to act for the good of our community,” Ms. Scozzafava wrote in a letter to friends and supporters. “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.”
It will be interesting to see how Newt Gingrich spins this. Maybe he’ll just crawl under a rock for a couple of months.

So, of course, she immediately turns around and endorses Owens, the Democrat. She’s a liberal through and through.
