They’ll laud Scozzafava as a “free-thinker” a “visionary” and an individual who “has seen the light.”

Then, as the D tires of her utility, or flat-out no longer needs her, they’ll Cindy Sheehan her tuchus out of town.

The influx/outflow question is an interesting one, but at the end of the day, it’s a question of how many of the “ins” and “outs” actually visit the polls on any given November.

My experience is that “angry white men” (as noted by an earlier commenter) vote with sterling regularity.
