Aren’t you the guy that donated to Al Franken?
Not that I don’t agree with you about 23

What is disloyal about it? Her party no longer had a candidate in the race once she dropped out. Her liberal philosophy did have a candidate - Owens. She supported him.

Does any one know if there was a “straight ticket” voting box for Dems and Rep's on the ballot?
If so my theory is that many of the uniformed voters may have just checked of the Republican box thinking Hoffman was now the Republican candidate. My theory could be completely off but I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case. There are way too many people, on both sides, that really have no idea what/who they are voting for.

The Republicans will now have to come up with a real conservative to win the election next year since the Democrat will only be there for one year.

And do they have mail in voting. How many ballots were sent prior to Scozza dropping out?
To: Federalist Patriot
Plus, Hoffman came across (to me) as somewhat weak and timid. He didn’t exude a lot of confidence. A stronger conservative personality would have beaten Owens easily. IMHO.

She proved one more point and that is the election run was all about her and not serving the constituents.

Let’s hope she serves the larger good of waking up Republicans/Conservatives to how far the Left have infiltrated the stupid party.
To: TruthBeforeAll
How weak and timid can you be if you did the one thing that all the other conservatives in NY23 did not do -- he ran.
Style over substance doesn't make a good candidate.

In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the... Anyone? Anyone?... the Great Depression, passed the... Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?... raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression. Today we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. "Voodoo" economics.

Scozzafava played the turncoat role to perfection. She took the importuning of Rahm Emanuel and Chuckie Schumer. She whined about the “hate” and “lies” that were directed at her. Strange, the only party I know that routinely engages in hate and lies is the Democratic Party. And she let herself be used for robocalls endorsing the Democratic candidate. And we are supposed to believe that this woman was a Republican? Odd, she seems to find the Democratic Party awfully congenial.

It was the uninformed republicans who gave Scazza over five thousand votes.
Truthfully tho, she only dropped out a week ago. Her name was on the ballot Absentees no doubt voted for her and useful idiots made up the rest.
She was no repub and most voters hardly knew a thing about Hoffman.
He did quite well for only being promoted for about ten days.
