For a member of Congress, there may be a time to promote reform in Washington, but there is also a time to work within a system that best serves the people you represent.
It is frightening that Mr. Hoffman is so beholden to right-wing ideologues who dismiss Northern New Yorkers as parochial when people here simply want to know how Mr. Hoffman will protect their interests in Washington.
The race has changed, but voters still face an important choice. Northern New York must send to Congress a representative who serves their interests first and foremost.
And what does this tell you about RINO Scozzafava?
UPDATE 1: Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit):
PROVING HER CRITICS RIGHT: Scozzafava Endorses Democrat.
UPDATE: Reader Erik Fortune writes:“Scozzafava hasn’t just proven her critics right, she’s also made fools of the GOP establishment that backed her. The establishment argument for supporting Scozzafava boiled down to an appeal to party loyalty, and Scozzafava just demonstrated that she has none. Gingrich et al asked voters to compromise their values on behalf of a candidate who turned on them the first chance she got. The voters won’t forget that.” Ouch.And from Powerline:Vindicating all who criticized her as an unsuitable Republican nominee, Dede Scozzafava, having suspended her fading campaign yesterday, endorsed Democrat Bill Owens today.
Meanwhile at The Hill, Democrats, the "party of diversity," is mocking Republicans for engaging in intramural scuffles. I guess I was right, the Left all thinks alike.

If I could talk to Scozzafava I would ask her why she calls herself a Republican. What's the difference between her and any Democrat.
And if I could talk to Newt Gingrich I would ask him if there was a recall on his crystal ball. I think his presidential hopes just took a dive (thank goodness); supporting Scozzafava out of so called party loyalty and then having the recipient of that loyalty change sides. Bummer!!!
