Pushed out or walked out?
Not a lot of information available yet, but the Associated Press is reporting that Scozzafava has resigned. From someone else in the GOP NY State leadership:
Dierdre Scozzafava offered her resignation from the Assembly minority whip post on Monday
Now that it has happened, the big question. Did she walk out or was she pushed out? A bigger question, will she switch parties? Based on her positions she will make a far better Democrat going forward and the New York State Democratic party could do worse than offering her some prominence if she does choose to switch parties.
UPDATE:
It appears that Politico was reporting this last night. A heartening quote from this article:
Following her decision to drop out of the race, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver assured her that his party would embrace her if she left the GOP and joined the Democratic Caucus.
