Democrat Scott Murphy expanded his lead by another 92 votes late Wednesday in the race to fill a Capital Region congressional seat.

Murphy, of Glens Falls, is now ahead of Republican James Tedisco, of Glenville, by 365 votes.

Damn!

Has the liberal intoxication permanently drugged New York?

When was the last time a Republican won a close election that had a recount?

[perfect_rovian_storm]

McClintock. You can blame whomever you wish, but the blame belongs at Tedisco’s feet.

[pissant]

If it goes to a recount, it’s a guaranteed dem win.

Last November.
Congressman Tom McClintock, a conservative Republican won in the recount in California’s 4th Congressional District over Democrat Charles Brown who is a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel.

The Repubikans should step down in mass.....let the DEMONRATS own the entire show. No more scape goats, the MSM would have to eat their own. Bring this Marxist takeover to a head(violent conflict).

[fantom]

They won’t have to step down. The pubs will lose more and more elections. They are finished as a party . They are no longer viable. Who needs democrat lite ? it’s silly..

George W Bush had the bully pulpit for at least six years (two at least given to the 911 tragedy).

It is all contrived, if one does not understand it, one is naive.

The United States, defined by its physical boundaries and Constitution, could have been completely free, and independent from the rest of the world. But "they" will crucify Sarah Palin, or plunge the place into a third world gutter, before letting her or the like run for President.

How obvious is it?

John D. Rockefeller IV is head of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

*blame belongs at Tedisco’s feet.*

Wrong. Blame the Third Party A-hole

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Who? Do you even have the slightest idea what the hell you’re talking about?

[Fresh Wind]

George W Bush had the bully pulpit for at least six years...

Really? Who knew!

[SoCalPol]

Eric Sundwall, Libertarian Party. Votes for Sundwall were on on absentee ballots.
He later threw his support to the Democrat.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

If it makes you feel better to think that a few absentees with Sundwall’s name on it are the reason Tedisco didn’t win, I really don’t care. But don’t tell those of us who actually live here and know about this race that we are wrong when you haven’t the foggiest clue what you are talking about.

[SoCalPol]

I not only know people who live in that dist. but I have direct ancestors who have lived in what is now that dist. since the 1600s

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Nonsense. Anyone who actually knows the race isn’t whining about a few absentees for the Libertarian.

Tedisco should have won this race decisively and he died by his own hand. Nobody to blame but him.

“If it goes to a recount, it’s a guaranteed dem win.”

Yup.

[Sun]

Call a talk show in the 20th district even if you’re not from the district, and ask them if they know how many military votes will be thrown away because they didn’t arrive on time.

“In New York, ten counties make up the 20th congressional district, and nine of them sent their absentee ballots to overseas voters too late for them to be received and returned in time to count in this election. One county mailed them on March 12 and eight counties mailed them on March 13, all by regular mail with only one ..”

Even if you’re for Murphy, fight for the rights of our troops, PLEASE.

Steele’s first test was a failure. We need corrective action ASAP
