Republican Scozzafava Discusses Conservative Backlash
North Country Public Radio (2009-11-06)
CANTON (wned) - Assailed by heavyweight conservatives Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck, Republican Assembly member Dede Scozzafava turned the tables on her critics by withdrawing from the race in New York's 23rd Congressional District.

Scozzafava then threw her support behind Bill Owens, vaulting him to a narrow victory over conservative candidate Doug Hoffman and giving New York's North Country its first Democratic Congressman in 150 years.

In an interview with North Country Public Radio's Jonathon Brown, Scozzafava lashed out at her critics and voiced her concerns over the national direction of the Republican Party.
