Democrat wins House seat in heavily GOP area in NY

By VALERIE BAUMAN (AP)

ALBANY, N.Y. —

Democrat Bill Owens has captured the special election for a New York
congressional seat that became a fight over the identity of the
Republican Party.

Owens defeated Conservative Doug Hoffman and Republican Dierdre
Scozzafava (skoh-zuh-FAH'-vuh) in the heavily Republican 23rd
congressional District in rural northern New York.

Scozzafava abruptly withdrew Saturday and supported Owens.

Hoffman has conceded the race.

With 88 percent of the precincts reporting, Owens had 49 percent of
the vote to 46 percent for Hoffman.

Scozzafava had 6 percent.

The race has been getting national attention, with some calling it a
referendum on President Barack Obama and others saying it could help
Republicans focus their message to attract more people to the party.
