Radical leftist GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava quits
By Michelle Malkin
Finally: The spoiler exits the race.
Stacy McCain has the scoop:
Just confirmed that Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava has quit the race. Speaking to supporters, Scozzafava broke down in tears.
UPDATE: Scozzafava, the hand-picked choice of the New York state GOP in the key 23rd District special election, reportedly will throw her support to Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman. ...

via Michelle Malkin , Scozzafava suspends campaign Republican state Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava has suspended her campaign for upstate New York’s 23rd Congressional seat, leaving Democratic nominee Bill Owens and Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman in the race that will conclude Tuesday, Fox News has confirmed. The move comes on the heels of a new poll that showed Scozzafava had fallen behind her two competitors in a race too close. The Siena College poll has Owens picking up 36 percent of the vote, while Hoffman has 35 percent. Scozzafava has 20 percent, ...
Blood In The Water
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
... From the mindset of an ideologically purist base - where a moderate Republican in New York state is a "radical leftist" - this makes sense. But for all those outside the 20 percent self-identified Republican base, it looks like a mix of a purge and a clusterfuck. If Hoffman wins, and is then embraced by the GOP establishment, you have a recipe for a real nutroots take-over. This blood in the water will bring on more and more and deadlier and deadlier sharks. ...

... Woo hoo!
The Other McCain has the scoop.
Her decision was spurred by a new Sienna Poll that says Hoffman has 35% and Ownes is at 36%.
Thank you Dede.

The Caucus —
... in New York’s 23rd Congressional District. What a development on a slow weekend heading into trick-or-treating. Twitter has gone nuts through Saturday morning, with many on the right directly challenging former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who stuck with his endorsement of Ms. Scozzafava despite other prominent Republicans abandoning her in droves for the Conservative Party favorite, Doug Hoffman. As pundit Michelle Malkin put it on Saturday , What Say You Now, Newt? For his part, Mr. Gingrich ...

Michelle Malkin: Radical leftist GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava quits.
I can fully appreciate that Malkin prefers Hoffman over Scozzafava and, further, that she has her own vision of what she would prefer the Republican Party to be. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
However, it seems as if some people (such as Malkin) are hellbent on misusing the language. Only in an incredibly narrow (and, I hasten to add, fictional) ideological world could Scozzafava be a “leftist” let alone a “radical.” Why is it so impossible to at least ...

Scozzafava pulls out of NY-23 House race, GOP's extremist right scores another major victory
The Reaction —
... Hoffman's insurgency was driven by the usual suspects on the Republican right, where the likes of Michelle Malkin, overcome with ideological madness, think even GOP moderates are "radical leftists," but, Gingrich notwithstanding, many in the Republican establishment had thrown their weight behind Hoffman. He wasn't just the preferred candidate, the preferred Republican, of the fringe but of parts of the mainstream as well. ...
Dede’s Out, Lefty Pundit (& Bloggers) on Warpath Against Stalinist Right-wingers Who Live Inside their Heads
GayPatriot —
I’ll leave it to other conservative bloggers to analyze the angry ramblings of left-wing bloggers and pundits now that liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava has suspended her campaign for election to Congress from New York’s 23rd District. Those posts (and column) I’ve read focused not on actual arguments conservatives have been making against the “stimulus” and “card-check” supporting Republican nominee, but on the antics of the conservatives make in the realm of their ...
Will Scozzafave Endorse A Democrat In NY-23 ?
