The purge continues


In a seat that Republicans have held since Abraham Lincoln, the winner of the Republican primary is pulling out of the race. The reason?

Some have called the race a test of the GOP’s future: whether traditional conservative ideology would lead the way forward or if a more inclusive approach would draw more people back to the party. Hoffman and his backers said Scozzafava was too liberal to truly represent the Republican party, specifically noting her support of abortion rights and same-sex marriage.

Scozzafava’s defeat bodes ill for common sense and decency.
