According to Charlie Cook there are now 97 competitive Congressional races-90 of them with a DEM incumbent! This has the makings of a historic tsunami. More and more incumbent DEMS are falling behind the REP/CONS challengers. The battlefield is increasing with less DEM money to protect more targets. Among the possible losers long time DEM fossils like Barney Frank and Charlie Rangel.

Change is good.....we are pioneering Americans......we fear NOTHING.........Ockhams razor will rule....what's left is what needs to be dealt with......

The negative regressives want smaller government, less debt, less intrusive government in their personal lives, lower taxes, the repeal of the beastly health care bill, health care 'reform', stronger family values, better school systems and honesty!!!!

Those damn regressives!!!

No -- the regressives are the whiners and complainers ....  the ones who want the smaller government,
less debt, lower taxes,better schools, family values, honesty ---- are the conservatives and the
pragmatic moderates like me ..

The health care reform --- didn't really reform health care --- it screwed up the health insurance side
but didn't really address some of the health care problems.    I think the fact that 7 months since it
was passed ... and our elected Reps are still learning "new surprises" about what actually was in the
Obamacare Bill --- that is beyond scarey .. the bill should be repealed and ... the debate should be
reopened.

Throw the bums out! Six Congressional DEMS are in trouble in NYS. Unfortunately Paul Tonko is not on the hit list. But judging from the wave of Ted Danz signs all over the County-something be brewing! Smells like tea in Schenectady. Finally! Had enough-YET?

Personally, I like hot chocolate .... so if someone starts a "Hot Chocolate Movement"  -- I would
join it.

Obama and his DEM running dogs are finished. Tonko may survive only because there are higher priority targets. Ted Danz has run a solid campaign and would be part of the new REP Congressional majority. But the idiots over here would prefer a back bench minority member who everyone laughs at. Kinda like SS Savage?

DAnz has run NO campaign.  Is Buchanan still the head of the Rep party?

Only in Schenectady, fortunately.

Thank God he can't do damage outside the county

anyone care for a krumpet????

Paul Tonko will win because he is a hard worker and devotes his time IN DC to actually working on the
people's business ... and when back in the district he tirelessly goes around to as many places he can to meet and talk with his constituents.

As for Mr. Danz - nice guy from what I know of him - but if you are going to run for Congress ecspecially
against an incumbent ... you really have to start early and really "work" the district.  

Add the NY20th to the list of competitive Congressional races. The REP tsunami has hit NYS! The latest poll has Chris Gibson pulling ahead of his pro-Obamacare opponent. Tonko is another Obama running dog who may be in for a surprise.

Paul Tonko is a hard worker? For who? TONKO! A nonstop presence at every festa where he doesn't buy anything. Name one legislative accomplishment from this political lifer? Right bridge to nowhere in Amsterdam-FULL STOP.

     Chris Gibson is going to take the 20th seat! Support "Family" Ted Danz {R/C}. Anyone is better than a Tonko stooge for Obamacare and Cap and Tax. Enough Taxin Tonko. Paul Tonko should be representing Berkeley-he sure doesn't represent Upstate values.

It is a lie to say that Paul Tonko does not spend money at festivals.   I know for a fact that he does.

He works hard ... both on his legislative work in DC and when he is at home reaching out and meeting with
constituents all over.

That's what Tonko does best, going to outings for free dinners and to campaign for votes, now show us all the jobs he created and how much he lowered our taxes in your dream world.
