Teabaggers have forced moderate candidate to quit race in NY-23

The teabaggers now own the repugican party. The moderate candidate for Congress in New York's 23rd CD, Dede Scozzafava, has suspended her campaign. Scozzofava was under assault from the hard-core wingnuts because she was pro-choice and supported LGBT equality. The local paper has the story and an excerpt from Scozzofava's letter to her supporters announcing the decision.

The hard-core right wingnuts rallied around the wingnut candidate, Doug Hoffman. A poll released today showed Scozzofava had dropped to a distant third place:
Today's hotly anticipated Siena poll confirms the race for the seat vacated by former Rep. John McHugh in NY-23 has become a too-close-to-call fight between Democratic nominee Bill Owens and wingnut Doug Hoffman, who are tied at 36-35.

The repugicans' pick, Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, who started out as the frontrunner, is now at 20 percent. Nine percent of voters remain undecided.
There is no room for different ideas in the modern day repugican party. The teabaggers rule their world.
