WTF???!!!
Dede Scozzafava (R) announced "that she is suspending her campaign for the 23rd Congressional District and releasing all her supporters," the Watertown Daily Times reports.
"The state Assemblywoman has not thrown her support to either Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate, or Bill Owens, the Democratic candidate."

Was she worried about Hoffman actually winning in a 3-way race? Or did the Republican Party tell her to get out of Hoffman's way so he could win? Who wins in a 2-way race? This is bizarrre, no one drops out days before an election unless they have some serious ulterior motive, or they were ordered to do so.
By the way, I assume at this late date that her name stays on the ballot, so her presence will still have some influence on the outcome.
