It was a bad news/good news day for Dede Scozzafava


First the Bad news:
The influential national blog politico outed the Assemblywoman on a few issues--particularly unpaid taxes. http://www.politico.com/blogs/scorecard/0709/Scozzafava_under_fire.html?showall

The first lady of NY blog Liz Benjamin reported the troubles along with the fact that Dede had been seen courting the democrat line as well (per June O'Neill)http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dailypolitics/2009/07/democrats-fan-the-flames-of-sc.html

Of course, the big hit of the week was from the conservative blog Red Statehttp://www.redstate.com/index.php?tag=dede-scozzafava/

Now the Good News:

For some unknown reason the 11 republican chairs picked her as the GOP candidate in the 23rd special election. Wait a minute. That might very well be good news for us.
