Special Election

Which New York do you prefer?

This one:

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Or this one?

Send A Message from Bob Turner for Congress on Vimeo.

"It's been ten short years. Everyone remembers," the ad says, with dreary music playing over images of smoke billowing from the World Trade Center. "Some, though, want to commemorate the tragedy by building a mosque on Ground Zero."

This is not just a partisan thing, though I'm obviously a Democrat. It's a question of values. And my values tell me that trying to skate into Congress in a low-turnout special election based on (deceptively) bashing a vulnerable minority, in this case Muslims, is reprehensible. New Yorkers deserve better than this.

UPDATED: NY-20: Murphy Gets More Votes, Tedisco Sues to be Declared Winner

UPDATE AT TE BOTTOM

Results are not official yet and not all ballots have been counted. But the last hope of the Republican candidate, Tedisco, came and went last night with the counting of absentee ballots in his stronghold of Saratoga. To win, barring a major surprise, Tedisco would have had to pull ahead with Saratoga's ballots. He didn't. This morning he was STILL behind by 86 votes. During the day today Murphy's lead has grown to 167 votes. There are no more Tedisco strongholds to save him. It would take a serious fluke to change the result at this time. Results here (not yet certified so unofficial).  read more »
