I think this is an excellent analysis. Opposition to current tax and spend policy, combined with recent dem tax and earmarks scandals, is the winning ticket in 2010.

Personally I no longer care about a winning ticket for any Congressional ditrict in America.
I care about a political party that maintains an enduring and core belief about taxes, government, and the Constitution.

The GOP will never have credibility until they strongly disavow the global warmism religion and ABANDON WITH PREJUDICE this stupid greenhouse gas scam. But shifting government over to “green” subsidies means corporate welfare — and Republicans are all over corporate welfare like ducks on a hatch of junebugs.
In other words, they’re not in favor of small, cheap government — they’re in favor of huge, free-spending government. It’s just that their priorities are different.
I dream of the utter destruction of both major parties. Both are corrupt to the bone.

Just because the conservative Solomon won years ago, doesn’t mean the district is as conservative as it once was. Obama won in the 20th district by thousands of votes.
While Scott Murphy rubber stamped the Porkulus bill, Tedisco didn’t give his opinion about the Porkulus, until he read it, and then he said a loud NO! Murphy even used that NO! in his campaign ads, probably because he knows the district voted for Obama by 2-3%.
Here’s some of what the Wash. Times’ writer left out about Jim Tedisco:
LIFE!
I will never forget when I attended a pro-life function where the late Rep. Henry Hyde was the principal guest speaker, and there was Jim Tedisco also standing up for the unborn.
2nd AMENDMENT!
Jim Tedisco has been a true friend to hunters and gun owners, as he understands the crucial importance of safeguarding the right to bear arms. His voting record and vocal, public support for the Second Amendment have been clear, consistent and genuinely appreciated by gun owners and our association, said Tom King president of the state Rifle and Pistol Association.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!
Tedisco, who received national press attention when he fought then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer over licenses for illegal immigrants,

Another case where Tedisco fought hard about something very important to conservatives. NO DRIVERS LICENSES FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS!
