The sudden withdrawal of Ms Scozzafava from the Congressional race in the New York 23 race and her immediate endorsement of the Pelosi-Democrat in fact proves Candidate Hoffman's charges that Scozzafava was a Republican in Name Only ( a RINO). Liberals like to influence the GOP to put up Democrats as candidates, so even if the Democrats lose elections, their destructive policies remain in place.
This does not mean that we should encourage third party candidates. The dividing line between Democrats and Republicans should be clear: Dems are for government intervention wherever possible and Reps are for as small a government as we can mange to do. We still believe in majority rule though and the majority's opinion and votes should carry the day. The trick is to make sure that elections do not produce irreversible changes. Clearly, irreversible changes are what the Dems want and those are contrary to the interests of a democratic republic. Scozzafava was a sham as a Republican and a threat to the democratic form of government. Whether Mr Hoffman wins (as I hope he does) or loses, he has already served the people of his State by giving them a choice and not an echo.
