I don’t think anybody had to give Gillibrand and new wardrobe, most likely because unlike “someone else” she didn’t show up in a prairie dress with a fleece pullover and faux pearls…

You betcha!!!

I wonder how much the DNC spent on Gillibrand’s clothes worn in that ad? I’m sure the media will tell us with as much fervor and venom as they did with someone else’s wardrobe. Who was that again? What party was she in?

I won’t be holding my breath…

Interestingly, Mr. Tedisco cannot even vote for himself in this election. He doesn’t live in the District. That says it all for me. In any case, Mr. Tedisco is just another politician molded in the fabric that is Albany politics. That’s not someone I’m rushing to endorse.

Mr. Murphy just moved here from Missouri and still has his head in Wall Street. I doubt he knows anything about our District either.

Now, there is Eric Sundwall who lives here, runs his business here, raises his family here and knows the District. He has stated views on all the issues of the day and he’s happy to share those with you.

I’m proud to have the opportunity to pick the best candidate this time around. Mr. Sundwall is far and away the best candidate we have. I hope everyone will take the opportunity to visit his web site and learn more about him.

ed 1 you are so right…but candidates very often
think they are smarter than they are especially
if they have had success at a lower office an
become complacent..Tedesco needs to be able to
respond to Murphy other than declining to answer
because that sends a message either that he
doesn’t know the issue, or is afraid to come
down on either side..both may be the case
but you can’t let the voters know it…

How could he not contemplate that the question would be asked? His opponent is, in effect, basing his campaign on this issue. Goes to show how ill-prepared and ideologically ungrounded most of these people are. So long as you’re going to be an idiot, you might as well hire a consultant to answer the questions for you and tutor you on how to proffer a reply. As a matter of fact, maybe the consultants themselves should run. They may or may not have anything of value to add to the discussion, but they would at least know how to talk their way around it while sounding like they actually answered the question. This is how the ordinary talented BS artist becomes a Congressmen or Senator. Caroline Kennedy, listen up.

it really didn’t matter what the answer was, but refusing
to answer at all is unacceptable..did he not consider
that the question might be asked of him..and did he
not contemplate an answer..if that is the case he
shouldn’t be running for the US congress…just
because he won a local state election..the congress
is another matter..we don’t need more jim bunnings
regardless of party affiliation

this whole tedisco for congress show is a mirror of the disaster that has been the republican assembly campaign committee and opposition efforts under his leadership. he surrounds himself with a bunch rogue over-paid amateurs and he himself is in way over his head, both as minority leader and as a congressional candidate.

He might have been astute enough to answer honestly that no one could intelligently cast a vote on an 1100 page document containing billions of dollars in outlay of taxpayer money within 24 hours of receiving it because Nancy Pelosi had to get her hair done and pack for a trip, a vote that included tossing thirty million dollars of pork to be dumped on the Kennedy family in Mass. (just to name one outrageous item in a “stimulus bill”). I usually like Dicker, but he’s playing the ignoramus game here. Ad captandum vulgus. To save everyone time from translating from the Latin – ‘Playing to the ignorant, vulgar crowd.’

the most important vote taken in the congress in decades
and a candidate won’t tell us whether he would have voted
yes or no?
