Tedisco exploring Murphy rematch
Republican James Tedisco said Thursday he has been meeting with county GOP chairmen in the 20th District to discuss a possible rematch next year against U.S. Rep. Scott Murphy, D-Glens Falls.
“I enjoy being a public servant and I’m looking at the atmosphere now,” said Tedisco, a state Assemblyman from Glenville. “And it certainly has changed since when I ran for congressman in the short eight week election.”
Murphy won a March 31 special election with just over 50 percent of the vote.
The race was so close that counting and recounting of ballots went on for nearly a month after election day.
Tedisco said in a telephone interview that he has been meeting with the 10 county chairmen to analyze mistakes his campaign made in the special election and to discuss how the mood of the country may be changing.
“I think I’ve met or talked with all of them,” he said.
Tedisco said he does not have any set timeframe to make a decision about the November 2010 election.
“As I said, we’re weighing our options.” he said.

Tedisco… please don’t run. But out-of-touch politicians will be endorsed by the out-of-touch GOP county committee chairmen, so it’ll likely happen. Hopefully no pay-offs.
Please please please run Jimmy Disco. The sequel will be even more hilarious! Eric Sundwall will get the Libertarian line and give Tedisco they pay back that he so richly deserves!
NO, He was a not so good candidate the first time around. That is why he lost. We need a local, REAL local to run. We need to show the nation that we are not for sale and we can represent ourselves.
I look forward to running against them both once again in 2010 as an independent, write-in candidate.
