UPDATED: Politico confirms.
Republican Dede Scozzafava has suspended her bid in next Tuesday’s NY 23 special election, a huge development that dramatically shakes up the race. She did not endorse either of her two opponents — Conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman or Democrat Bill Owens.
ORIGINAL POST:
If this is true, the race is over.
From 73 Wire.
Breaking DeDe has dropped out of the race here in the NY-23. A source close to the Hoffman campaign confirms that DeDe Scozzafava has bowed out of the race. Stay tunes to 73wire for more details and audio of Dede addressing supporters.
Again, if true, this will be a massive display of power from the Tea Party and Conservative movements.
UPDATE #2: Michelle Malkin, Hot Air, and Stacy McCain have weighed in.

Libs rally around Democrat?
This is fantastic news. Go Hoffman.
This is the power of the Tea Party folks. Further, this Congressional district has gone republican every House election since the Civil War.
Libs rally around dem? Look at the internals of previous polls – 46% of pubs still backed Favabean. So her supporters – what remained – will largely go to Hoffman.
This removal of the republican-ordained candidate is huge. Do not let the press tell us otherwise. We yanked the party chain, and the dog obeyed. Onward!
There aren’t enough of them. McHugh, the Republican they are replacing, won reelection in 2008 by 65-35%.
