Wow, I can think of so many things I'd rather do than follow Tedisco's twitter.

On an unrelated note, I was rather freaked out when "Tom Campbell" started following my Twitter account I created only to appease my GF who had one, haha, especially because we share the same last name.  So, right now, Tom Campbell and one other person have followed my non-operating Twitter feed. After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that I had signed up for all of the CA Governor potentials' email updates and Tom's team must have searched for everyone that signed up.

might be better to use that to describe the Tedisco campaign

If he wanted to GOTV, he could've done it like, during the day. Tongue

From: President Barack Obama <info@barackobama.com>
Date: Mon, Mar 30, 2009
Subject: Please vote tomorrow
To: Me

Tomorrow, Tuesday, is the day to vote in New York's 20th Congressional District special election, and I need you to go vote.

I wrote to you last week to announce my endorsement of Scott Murphy because we need his kind of leadership and experience in Washington. It's going to be a very close race, and your vote could make all the difference.

Our movement for change has come this far because supporters like you stood up and made your voices heard every time it mattered.
Please look up your polling location and stand up once again for the change we need to bring to Washington.


With Scott in Congress, we'll work together to bring about solutions to our economic challenges and create new jobs in Upstate New York and across the country.

Having created over 1,000 jobs by starting successful businesses in clean energy and high-tech industries, Scott understands the potential we have to rebuild our economy and create a new foundation for prosperity.

That's the kind of partner I need in Washington. Please look up your polling place and vote tomorrow:

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

I checked the State Board of Elections page and there doesn't seem to be a link (at least not yet) to a results page. Anyone have ideas? Do you think the Albany news affiliates might have useful pages?

Perhaps.  It's probably easiest to follow liveblogs like politico.com/blogs/scorecard and politickerny.com.  They'll probably link to the results pages once there's a result to report

The Scorecard is providing pretty good coverage.  They're now pointing out that Murphy's immediate family in the district numbers over 50 and his extended family numbers in the hundreds (most of which are registered Republican).  So that's a few votes right there.  Murphy also starts with a +2 advantage since he and his wife can vote in the district while Tedisco cannot.

Tedisco pulled an all-nighter last night, going to 24 hour convenience sores, bars, walmarts, factory shift-changes, etc.

GOP lowers expectations on NY-20 race

With momentum shifting to Democrat Scott Murphy in today’s special election in upstate New York, House Republican leaders are pre-empting any blame that might come their way should Republican Jim Tedisco lose.

In a Tuesday morning news conference, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said the outcome of the election shouldn’t be seen as a referendum on the GOP leadership in Congress.

“It’s between those two candidates in New York,” Boehner explained to reporters. “I hope Jim Tedisco wins.”

How does someone make a joke about this race? Has Tedisco really said anything that would get howls from late night comedy programs? I don't see "Tedisco only got 44% in NY 20!" getting a lot of laughs.

I was talking about show like Hardball not the Late Show. Hardball just seems like a comedic program to me in certain ways.

If Murphy wins, there will be coverage.  If Tedisco wins, there will not.

Mainstream America doesn't want to hear about the minority party, sorry.
