In what appears to be a coup for conservatives in New York, Dede Scozzafava, the Republican Candidate has suspended her campaign 3 days short of the election. She garnered the nomination over Doug Hoffman in a closed party committee process. When it was revealed by among others, Fred Thompson & Sarah Palin, that Scozzafava had a fairly liberal voting record in the State Legislature, Hoffman’s # shot way up and support began to pour in from across the country. This is a win for conservatives in that Hoffman will caucus with the Republicans but will not be beholden to the party.
