And good riddance:
Six months after losing a bruising battle for the 23rd
Congressional District seat, Dierdre K. Scozzafava has decided
to take a break from politics.
The Gouverneur resident said Wednesday she will not seek a
seventh term in the 122nd Assembly District.
“If you go back to the run for Congress, I was really looking
to do something different and go in a different direction and
be challenged differently,” the Republican said Wednesday.
“That hasn’t changed. As much as I’ve enjoyed my time in the
state Assembly, I think it’s time for me to take a breather and
go in a different direction.”
Ms. Scozzafava said she has “a lot of opportunities in
different directions,” although she reaffirmed there was no
deal made in exchange for her suspending her congressional
campaign with three days to go and throwing her support to the
eventual winner, Democrat William L. Owens.
The
Albany Times-Union reports:
Scozzafava was already facing at least one primary challenger.
The seat is expected to stay in Republican hands.
Flashbacks from last fall: “Dede
Goes Down Upstate” and “Battle
Cry in the North Country.” The man who exposed Scozzafava as
a RINO and drove her out of last year’s election, Doug
Hoffman is running again in NY23.

I hear that Mrs Scozzafava is going to be opening up a local hamburger joint with Mr Owens by mid November? She's going to be the food taster, or at least that's the rumor!! Good for them, they'll both have plenty of time to make it a big success!! I wish them luck.
Go Hoffman!!
