ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Republican Trust PAC's Executive Director, Scott Wheeler, released the following statement in response to Dede Scozzafava's withdrawal from the NY-23 special congressional election and subsequent endorsement of the liberal Democrat candidate:
"Scozzafava's critics were vindicated yesterday when she endorsed the liberal Democrat in the race, Bill Owens. We knew she would be a Democrat when she went to Congress and now those beliefs have been validated by Scozzafava herself with that endorsement.
"Scozzafava's endorsement of the establishment candidate over the candidate that the people have shown overwhelming support for was predictable. She is completely out of touch with the District, which is the very reason Hoffman is winning this race. She just didn't get it, people are tired of politics as usual.
"We appreciate that the RNC and NRCC have realized the importance of all of us being on the same page in support of principled conservative candidates...and we are asking the NRSC to realize it should do the same with respect to Marco Rubio in Florida's U.S. Senate race. We are asking NRSC to publicly announce it will remain neutral in the Florida Senate GOP primary...."
