Assemblyman Jim Tedisco (R,C-Saratoga) today issued the following statement after conceding the race for New Yorks 20th Congressional district:
"Mary and I would like to thank the citizens of the 20th Congressional district for their kindness, courtesy and patience shown during this extended campaign. This was a closely contested election that perhaps lasted a little longer than anyone may have expected or wanted. But it was important for our electoral process and for the hard-working people of Upstate New York that it be resolved fairly and decisively."Earlier today, I called and congratulated Scott Murphy on a hard-fought contest and wished him well as the next Congressman of the 20th Congressional district. I also expressed my willingness to work with him to ensure that the families of Upstate New York are not left behind as our nation strives for economic recovery.
"This was a close campaign every step of the way. Ultimately, it became clear that the numbers were not going our way and that the time had come to step aside and ensure that the next Congressman be seated as quickly as possible. In the interest of the citizens of the 20th Congressional district and our nation, I wish Scott the very best as he works with our new President and Congress to address the tremendous challenges facing our country.
"Finally, I would like to express my appreciation to all the volunteers, staff, supporters and most importantly my family, for their unending support and prayers. They all poured their blood, sweat and tears into this campaign and for that I will always be eternally grateful."
You can't put America and its people first and be a Dem.
Thanks a lot Maury Thompson & The Post-Star for another tax & spend loser in NYS.
was there ever any doubt which way this race would go? Just like Norm/Frankenclown. Count, count, count, re-count then count some more til you get the vote you want.
Every Dim in this country disgusts me.
NYS is lost. Upstate is beautiful, but I’d never move back.
NY is a lost cause. Turn out the lights. The governor won’t know.
In the midst of all that’s wrong I’m shocked the people would vote in another rat over a long standing congressman.
And if the rat cheated well so what....they still got away with it and they’ll still trash the country. There should have been more votes against the rat.
ACORN WINS AGAIN.
I am afraid you are right.
Just what New York needs
another democrat politician
for representation of diverse views, of course

Unlike Republicans and Conservatives, the Dimocrats and Lieberals are in it to win at all costs and they keep at it till they win.
As if anything could make my day worse..
No, everybody does not know Murphy cheated. There’s no evidence at all that there was anything unfair about this election. Yet, people who call themselves “conservatives” whine and moan and carry on like they’re the mirror image of DUers. The Republicans should’ve won this race, but they lost it . . . not because of cheating . . . but because the NY party elite chose a terrible candidate. I mean, come on, the guy didn’t have enough convictions to take a position on the stimulus package for weeks.
Want to complain about Murphy winning? Fine! But place the blame where it belongs — on a poor Republican candidate and a party organization that couldn’t even manage to win the absentee vote (a traditional Republican strength).
bump.
SS—to have a 25 vote difference in a 155,000 total vote is a mathematical impossibility.
Then, what, for the first time in history the absentee ballots went to the Dems instead of the GOP, in spite of the GOP sending out more absentee ballots.
This thing reeks.
"EH-HEH HEH HEH...EEEHHHH HEH HEH HEH"
Nonsense. What do you base that on?
Should be immediately followed by Michael Steele’s resignation.
Another stolen election by the party of satan.
