The Amazing New York 23rd District

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Halloween was yesterday, but today in New York State things got weird.  Yesterday, Dede Scozzafava (chosen by the local Republican Party without the benefit of a primary election) dropped out of the race for Congressman in New York's 23rd District.  After withdrawing from the race, Mrs. Scozzafa threw her support behind Democrat Bill Owens--her former opponent.  Mrs. Scozzafa was chosen by the Republican mucky-mucks to run for office in order to hold that seat for a Republican.  Theoretically that was her intention.  Now she is supporting the Democrat in the race rather than the Conservative who was embraced by the Republican Party when Mrs. Scozzafava resigned.  Huh?

The Hill's Blog Briefing Room reports:

"Nevertheless, Scozzafava's decision on Sunday is bound to infuriate Republicans, many of whom announced within hours of her suspension that they backed Hoffman and hoped soon to welcome him into their caucus. The Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee and a host of party leaders urged their members to do the same, in part to defeat the growing meme that Republicans were warring among themselves about the NY-23 race."

This is an amazing story.  It will be truly interesting to see who wins this race!
