Talk about showing her unfitness for public office!

When John McCormack of The Weekly Standard showed up at a public event for congressional candidate Dede Scozzafava (R-NY 23) on Monday night, he dared to act like a journalist and asked her questions about her positions on important issues and legislation. In response, ScozzafavaÂ’s campaign did something extraordinary.

I went to my car and fired up my laptop to report the evening's events.
Minutes later a police car drove into the parking lot with its lights flashing. Officer Grolman informed me that she was called because "there was a little bit of an uncomfortable situation" and then took down my name, date of birth, and address.
"Maybe we do things a little differently here, but you know, persistence in that area, you scared the candidate a little bit," Officer Grolman told me.
"[Scozzafava] got startled, that's all," Officer Grolman added. "It's not like you're in any trouble."

Startled? By a reporter asking questions? So startled that she and/or her campaign staff saw fit to call the POLICE to interfere with and harass someone she knew to be a reporter?

I’d already decided that Dede Scozzafava was not a good choice for Congress, and felt that her Conservative Party opponent Doug Hoffman was a better choice. I just hadn’t had the opportunity to write about that race yet. But now I need not go into an analysis of the issues and why she is too liberal to receive Republican support – all I have to do is point to this issue to show how singularly un-serious Scozzafava is as a candidate for office.

And even worse, now the Scozzafava campaign is trying to defame McCormack with claims he was abusive and engaging in stalker-like behavior. We now see what her character is really like, in addition to how liberal she really is. So I’ll say it right now – any conservative must vote for Conservative Doug Hoffman, not the Kos endorsed Republican.
