Dede Scozzafava, the moderate Republican who withdrew this weekend from the NY-23 special election, after a national right-wing campaign in favor of Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman, has now taken another step in her surprise endorsement of Democrat Bill Owens: Taping a robocall for him.

"It's not in the cards for me to be your representative but I strongly believe Bill Owens is the only candidate who can build upon [former GOP Congressman, now Secretary of the Army] John McHugh's lasting legacy in Congress," Scozzafava says. "In Bill Owens I see a sense of duty and integrity. He will be an independent voice, devoted to doing what is right for New York. To address the tough challenges ahead we must rise above partisanship and politics, and work together."
