It’s official: Republican Dede Scozzofava has endorsed Democrat Bill Owens in the NY-23 special election.

Doug Hoffman’s camp is calling her a traitor, but they were doing that already.

Those in the camp of the Conservative candidate Douglas L. Hoffman called Ms. Scozzafava a turncoat.

“This afternoon Dede Scozzafava betrayed the GOP,“ Senior Communications Advisor Rob Ryan said in a statement. “She endorsed a Pelosi Democrat who will spend more, tax more, and push the liberal agenda that is dragging down this nation.”
