<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 27, 2012) Governor Cuomo has crossed party lines and offered a political endorsement to Republican Senator Roy McDonald, who lost a primary this month after voting to support same-sex marriage.In a letter released by his staff, Cuomo tells state Sen. McDonald that it&apos;s &quot;evident&quot; McDonald &quot;paid a price&quot; for his convictions when the senator agreed to be one of four Republican votes needed to pass New York&apos;s same-sex marriage bill. The governor laments what he says is the &quot;disproportionate power of the political extremists,&quot; and writes to McDonald &quot;you should not be left to stand alone now.&quot; [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20560/20120927/cuomo-offers-mcdonald-endorsement">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<title>Feud among national conservatives could hurt Scozzafava candidacy</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/14466/20091005/feud-among-national-conservatives-could-hurt-scozzafava-candidacy</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 5, 2009) In just four weeks, voters will go to the polls to replace former North Country Congressman John McHugh, who was appointed Secretary of the Army. The candidates are out on the campaign trail talking about jobs and taxes and healthcare. But one of the biggest factors shaping the race for New York’s 23d district is a bitter ideological feud within the national conservative movement.  Many activist groups in Washington DC think Republican Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava is too liberal.  They’re backing Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman. As Brian Mann reports, the fierce infighting on the right could throw the election to Democrat Bill Owens.
