NY-23 Scozzafava Out, RNC And Newt Gingrich Back Hoffman
Dr. Melissa Clouthier — Good morning! And a good morning it is. DeDe Scozzafava stepped down, gracefully. She may endorse Hoffman soon. The RNC endorsed Doug Hoffman, the Conservative candidate. Chairman Steele calls a “Hoffman win, a GOP win.” Is the NRCC far behind? Time will tell. So did Newt Gingrich. Matt Lewis puts him in the loser category, but doesn’t think he’ll suffer long-term. I’m not so sure about that. Now, Hoffman and the Democrat are in a dead heat. Hoffman should win. The area is a very ...

Dede Goes Down Upstate
The American Spectator — ... distorted both her poll problems and her record, the most shamefully false of her claims was her complaint about being unable "to back up [her] message with money." The Republican National Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee had pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into the 23rd District in support of Scozzafava -- to no avail, since the candidate's message never resonated with voters.
