Media Muses on Return of the Pink Suit. | TheHill

   Everybody likes a little validation in life...being mentioned or touted....Heck I appreciate Newzjunky listing me in his poll. Its fun to get some votes....
    The looming open-seat Congressional race has other names being floated...Assemblywoman Addie Russell has her floaters...and the most bizarre float is the notion that former Assemblywoman Diedre Scozzafava would run in a GOP primary against Elise Stefanik, the sharp-as-a-tack Harvard grad who worked in the Bush White House and has already raised well into six figures.

In The Absence of Fact, Media Speculation Runs Wild

 

     Ms. Scozzafava is currently a top aide to Governor Cuomo and endorsed Bill Owens in 2009 after her GOP candidacy was immolated in a Tea Party firestorm led by Doug Hoffman.  No offense, but at what point are you no longer a Republican, even if you were "Scozzafava'd".
    Yes, DeDe is the bride of wildly popular Gouverneur Mayor Ron McDougall, but a replay of 2009 goes nowhere for the  GOP.
    With federal primaries in June and petitions starting in March, the hopefuls better get a move on as circulating three sets of petitions in the spring is no small task.(Conservative and Independence are the automatic GOP  me-to parties in a race like this)
     The only way you get in now and win is to have ready cash to throw at the problem.  I haven't seen too many of those people walking around, other than Doheny, who said he is out of politics, although, trust me, we are all entitled to a change of heart.
    
2009 déjà vu in New York-21? Maybe not. | TheHill
