In a stunning development this morning, Dede Scozzafava– the Republican candidate in the hotly contested NY-23 Congressional race, has suspended her campaign. Conservative Doug Hoffman now has a serious shot at the seat which hasn’t been held by a Democrat since the Civil War. It’s a victory for the Tea Party faithful who have supported him against the liberal Republican, and a move that should leave the milquetoast middle of the GOP quivering in their boots.

A new poll released showed Scozzafava running third behind Democrat Owen and Conservative Hoffman. It was the last straw for Dede who withdrew from the race in tears.

Scozzafava says she’s throwing her support behind Hoffman. Smart move; she may want to take some notes from the conservative and rethink her supportive positions on abortion, gay marriage and massive government spending. Here’s Scozzafava’s farewell speech where she admits she’s been outspent by both sides and doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell to win.

The race isn’t over until the polls close on Tuesday, and it is as tight as they come. Still time to throw Doug Hoffman some love and help put him over the top.

More on this breaking story as we get it–The Other McCain is on the scene now. A big ROCK ON to conservatives across this nation who have figured out how to send a message to the Republican powers that be (ahem, Newt.) No more RINOS.
