Up on GOMYD
I’ve got a post up on gomyd.com (the website for Manhattan Young Dems) on the race upstate. For those of you who aren’t familiar- there’s a special election being held Tuesday for Kristen Gilibrand’s vacant Congressional seat between Democrat Scott Murphy and Republican Jim Tedisco. Murphy was down by something like 20 points a month ago and now some polls have him ahead so it’s anyone’s game. The RNC is already looking to position a Murphy loss as a referendum on President Obama’s budget or leadership or maybe even his bracket. A Murphy win (which would be a huge upset) will likely be positioned as a referendum on Michael Steele who by the way has given up on reaching out to the President…of the United States of America…So we’re clear, Stelle oversees a political party, Obama oversees the country, just in case there was any confusion.
In any event- check out the post, there’s a little call to action for those of you who long for the days of phonebanking.
