The Poughkeepsie Journal – which endorsed Obama for President – has endorsed Jim Tedisco for next week’s special election:
The 20th Congressional District seat – which includes much of northern Dutchess County – has been without a representative for about two months now. In many ways, this could not have come at a worse time. With the economy teetering, Congress has been moving at a fever-pitch pace to make critically important and highly expensive decisions that would have far-reaching ramifications.
The district needs someone to jump right in and make a difference, and veteran state lawmaker James Tedisco has those abilities. District voters should give him the opportunity to serve.
Tedisco has considerably more experience than his opponent, Democrat Scott Murphy, who has never sought office before.
There is at least one misstatement in the endorsement, however: Tedisco is against the stimulus. Nonetheless, good news.

Murphy's Law
giovani Monday, March 23rd at 9:43AM EST (link)Well, we know the fact that Scott Murphy is a wall street millionaire. But, this event is not all about resources neither career. This is much more of Public Service, Community Accomplishment, Leadership, and Good Conduct. Jim Tedisco is know from the start as a devoted public servant. Community always count on him for a long time. Never committed a crime during his tenure. It is obvious that he’s opponent has no, even a bit background in public service. Anyway, this is not about whose party’s gonna win but a leader that would serve his people with all the quality of being a good leader.
Scott Murphy has a millions unpaid taxes including penalties, Murphy’s company failed to pay insurance at almost a million, Murphy signed the stimulus bill with out reading the content. He was ask about stimulus bill during his interview at the white house, and the respondents was felt empty with him because of his unacceptable ideology about the bill. Besides, Murphy has a lot of misconduct during his college including sexually addict. Paying those, shall I say “Birds” just to have an hour happiness. Wow, this is not the congressman we are looking for as a candidate.
Let’s see if the times union does it’s job and asks Murphy about this.
I’m voting Jim Tedisco.
