NY-23: Fallout from election heats up

The Press Republican 

November 4, 2009

Joe LeTemplio

Less than a day after Tuesday's election for the 23rd Congressional District, the fallout is smoldering hot.

Angry with the way Republicans handled their candidate selection, a Franklin County legislator says he will strongly consider running for Congress or State Assembly next year.

"The supporters of Dede should be ashamed of themselves," Paul Maroun, a Franklin County legislator from Tupper Lake, said in reference to Republican candidate Dierdre "Dede" Scozzafava.

THE CHOICE

Maroun was one of nine people Republicans were considering as a candidate when the race was set last summer.

The seat opened up after [Alleged] President Barack Obama named incumbent Congressman John McHugh, a Republican, as the new secretary of the Army.

Republicans chose Scozzafava, an assemblywoman from Gouverneur in St. Lawrence County, as their candidate.

Maroun finished second in the voting by the party chairs of the 11 counties in the district.

Scozzafava's selection as the candidate drew heavy criticism from the outset, as many Republicans complained that with her support of gay marriage and abortion rights, she was far too liberal.

In the wake of that criticism, Douglas Hoffman, an accounting firm owner from Lake Placid, emerged as the Conservative Party candidate. Hoffman had sought the Republican nod but did not get any support from the county chairs.

Sounds like the elite RINOs messed it up at every opportunity. Trying to sound inclusive, in reality they were exclusive. But we all know that. So who were they trying to fool. The only question left is if they were self-inflicted, intentional wounds?

Meanwhile, as usual, the Lamestream Media is ignoring the more important question that leads to the story behind the story.

That would be:  WHY is it that Obama would choose a so-called "conservative" Republican (John McHugh) to become the new Secretary of the Army?  It was that appointment that prompted the CD-23-NY special election in the first place.
