| Description | NY Gov. David Paterson (D) announced this afternoon that the Upstate NY special election to replace Army Sec. John McHugh will be held 11/3, as expected. That date will also feature two GOV elections in both VA and NJ, and the three races, combined, will give us an idea as to how the environment for the '10 midterms is shaping up.
But while GOPers are enjoying somewhat of a resurgence recently, a loss in the NY-23 special could set the GOP's House efforts back. Assemb. DeDe Scozzafava (R) has had a few bad weeks, as accountant Doug Hoffman (C) has splintered the GOP base, and has been endorsed by the Club for Growth and the American Conservative Union, among other groups. While the GOP argues with itself, atty Bill Owens (D) has spent his time -- and money -- on TV ads introducing himself to voters.
But now that the race is fully engaged, the next 30+ days should be intense. Game on. |
