NY 23: Scozzafava drops out

The candidate selected by the Republican county chairman in the district has dropped out of the race. Why? She wasn't Republican enough. Want to run for office as a Republican? You had better believe:

• cutting taxes is the answer to everything
• climate change is a myth
• oppose a woman's right to choose
• guns are great
• bashing gays is a fun family activity

Even though the Conservative candidate doesn't even live in the district he will likely coast to victory. And the Republican party lurches further to the right.
