Scozzafava should have been thrown out of the Republican party long ago, why she is even a R is beyond me. The word RINO does not even fit her agenda. She is a liberal, tax and spend Dem that needs to join her side and be defeated in her bid for reelection.
Dede Scozzafava, the Republican nominee who issued an election eve endorsement of Democrat Bill Owens in the Nov. 3 New York special election, will meet with Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb Monday to discuss whether she will be stripped of her Assembly leadership position.
POLITICO has learned that Kolb will announce after the face-to-face meeting whether Scozzafava, the Minority Leader Pro Tempore, will remain as the GOP floor leader.
“Fundamentally my members are very disappointed with her endorsement of Bill Owens and aiding him in helping achieve the Nancy Pelosi health care plan in Washington,” Kolb said.
Scozzafava’s last-minute endorsement, issued one day after she dropped out of the race, gave Owens a key boost in the close race and helped deliver a congressional seat held by the GOP for more than a century to the Democratic Party.
Owens defeated Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman 49 percent to 46 percent, with Scozzafava, whose name remained on the ballot, pulling in 5 percent.
Kolb noted that Scozzafava is not in danger of being kicked out of the GOP conference.
But New York Republican officials are still seething over what they say is a betrayal by the assemblywoman, who did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
