Blood In The Water — Scozzafava's statement, as she attempted to remain a Republican candidate, while actually supporting abortion rights and marriage equality: … No one knows what might happen now. For the insurgents, it means a scalp they will surely use to purge the GOP of any further dissidence.

Radical leftist GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava quits — Finally: The spoiler exits the race. — Stacy McCain has the scoop: … Hey, GOP elites: Can you hear conservatives NOW?! — Ed Morrissey at Hot Air has the latest Siena Poll that doomed Scozzafava and adds:

NY-23 Polling Odyssey — So this morning around 10 AM I started up our NY-23 poll and after a few hundred interviews it appeared that Doug Hoffman was now running away with it-unweighted numbers showed him at 45% to 26% for Bill Owens and 17% for Dede Scozzafava.

Frank Rich / New York Times:
The G.O.P. Stalinists Invade Upstate New York — BARACK OBAMA'S most devilish political move since the 2008 campaign was to appoint a Republican congressman from upstate New York as secretary of the Army. This week's election to fill that vacant seat has set off nothing less than a riotous and bloody national G.O.P. civil war.

A profile in courage, it isn't — As conservative activists scored a political scalp, mainstream Republicans wasted no time in grasping at the coat tails of Conservative Doug Hoffman. — The much-watched off-year special election in upstate New York's 23rd Congressional District …
The Politico:
Base sends GOP warning shot in NY-23 — Republican Dede Scozzafava's decision Saturday to drop out of the New York special congressional election gave conservatives a big win, but may present a challenge for Republicans heading into next year's mid-term elections.
Michelle Malkin:
NYT columnist Frank Rich has the heebie-jeebies — Aw, poor Frank Rich. The far Left columnist for the New York Times is spooked by mainstream conservatives asserting themselves in the NY-23 congressional race. — Limited government activists rising up against the GOP elite? — Horrors!
Nate Silver / FiveThirtyEight:
Scozzafava's Supporters Like Obama, Dislike Hoffman and Owens — Certainly, the conventional wisdom would be that when the Republican candidate suspends her campaign and encourages her supporters to vote for someone else, it would help the Conservative candidate more than the Democrat.
