Conservative 4-term Assemblywoman Sharron Angle has formed an exploratory committee to run.

She’s a solid conservative through-and-through, and has challenged the political establishment of both the Republican Party and Democrat Party in high-profile races, and while she has lost, in both elections the loss was by less than 500 votes! She’s a formidable campaigner who delivers her message to voters on where she stands on the issues in a straightforward manner that pierces through the cloud of traditional politician-speak.

In New York:

Murphy already a target of conservative PAC

Anyone out there experiencing 20th Congressional District campaign withdrawal?

Take heart — the next round of political jousting is already in the works.

Our Country Deserves Better, a conservative political action committee, announced Wednesday it has scheduled a rally at 5 p.m. Sept. 10 in Albany to target new U.S. Rep. Scott Murphy, D-Glens Falls.

The rally will be a stop on a cross country “Tea Party Express” tour from August 28-Sept. 12.

“It will be a two-week long tour targeting politically vulnerable tax-and-spend liberals across the country,” said Kelly Eustis, a spokesman for the California-based organization.

Murphy took office last week, after winning the March 31 special election for the 20th Congressional District seat vacated when Kirsten Gillibrand, D-Greenport, was appointed to the U.S. Senate.

Murphy won by just over 50 percent of the vote against Republican James Tedisco, a state Assemblyman from Glenville.

Our Country Deserves Better PAC ran radio and television commercials targeting Murphy and supporting Tedisco during the special election campaign.

Murphy is expected to run for re-election in 2010.
