Fox News asks: What do YOU think of the Tea Party movement?

[mogrovejo]

The Republican party funded and supported Scozzafava up until polls showed that she was not going to win. Funding and support that Dede used, among other things, to fight both Martha Coakley and Scott Brown. You can't say that Brown 'had the support of the party establishment' when he did not. The national party was entirely aligned with Dede.

There's even people that will argue that Brown is actually more liberal than Dede, and that's exactly why he was a better fit for the extremely liberal NY region.

Uh? What? THis seems like a Miterrand was a socialist moment.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

That Scozzafava never "used [that money to], among other things, fight both Martha Coakley and Scott Brown ". Mostly because she was running a different race, for a different seat in an entire different state.

Brown - Massachussets - Senate
Dede - New York - Congress

LOL, I got them mixed up.

I actually meant what happened in NY23 with Dede and Hoffman, that handed the election to Owens. That's the two 'factions' I was talking about.
