Murphy Up With TV Ad, Tedisco Releases Web Ad

Posted by: Joseph Spector - Posted in Uncategorized on Feb 11, 2009

With the election date in sight, the candidates for the 20th District are already up with ads.

Democratic candidate Scott Murphy released this one-minute television ad today that will start airing in the district tomorrow. He talks about how his wife is from a dairy farm in Washington County and how their 57 family members get together weekly for Sunday dinner in Hudson Falls. The ad is titled “Sunday Dinner.”

Meanwhile, Republican candidate Jim Tedisco as a nearly five minute Web video, in which he turns President Obama’s “Yes We Can” campaign message into “Yes we can. But with Asssembyman Jim Tedisco as a congressman, now we will.”

   What in hell does Murphy’s dinner or Tedisco’s flaccid, self-serving braggadocio contribute to solving our financial holocaust?

   Yeah, but when will Scott Muprhy finally man-up and pay his taxes.

   Simone, Duke, Lux??? How come when a Republican(Palin) gives weird names to their children it a national joke, but when a Democrat does the same it a reason for pride. Sounds like hypocritical partisan politics to me, or is it because she was a woman??

   LoHud, allow me to bring to your attention a third ad, this one by Libertarian candidate Eric Sundwall. Yes, Mr. Sundwall may be “only” a third party candidate with many obstacles to overcome during the campaign (to being with, he dosen’t have the luxury of being annointed by party bosses- he has to get 3,500 signitures within 12 days of the offical announcement of the special election. That’s just to be on the ballot) but at least he gives a legitimate alternative to the two-party dualopoly.

   Anyway, here’s the link to his site and ad

   Murphy in a landslide. Tedisco just can’t muster the money or support. Just like he’s failed as Republican leader of the State Assembly with his right-wing conservative approach to governing, he’ll fail in his bid for Congress.

   Tedisco’s election will be the first victory for Chairman Steele. Republicans regain this seat and start a turn around.
