I had seriously hoped that the State Assemblywoman who received strong WFP endorsements with pro-labor and a progressive pro social issue background and in the absence of a strong contender willing to run to her left and not to her right, made a compelling case to endorse for the first time in my life, a Republican for Federal Office.
There followed some events that radically changed the playing field. The postings on TAP calling into question Scozzafava as NOT being all that progressive, Owens running more mainstream Democratic than I thought he would and finally the DCCC having caught Scozzafava on tape stating, what is the rush to reform healthcare? That was the final straw that made me realize, I need to stand away from this candidate and go to the Owens for Congress site and make a conciliatory contribution to his campaign!
My apologies to fellow progressives who were less yearning than I for a return to the old Rockefeller establishment moderate Republicans who gave in their day at least some sane alternatives for the voters. The south and indeed the Club for Growth truly have an unbreakable hold on that party and Dede Scozzafava attitude toward health care reform only underscores just how much! |
