I'm just starting to see Katko signs, probably 6-1 over Maffei signs in some of the Syracuse suburbs. And not the rural areas, but the certain suburbs where I would expect to see Maffei. Just wondering if there had been any movement. I have some Dem acquaintances with Katko signs.

Ordinarily, I’d have preferred to see ex-Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle run again, but Zero took her out of the contest by appointing her to the Consumer Product Safety Commission last year.

Katko’s big problem is that he is being massively outspent. He has $727,000 at last report while Maffei has a whopping $2.4 million. In almost every instance, you can determine the winner of a race based on money.
