This is almost to surreal for mere words…

Republican and Conservative congressional candidate turned down an invitation to participate in the WMHT/Times Union debate on Thursday because he already had his own multi-media event planned, said Adam Kramer, a spokesman.
Tedisco will conduct a “Jim Tedisco in 3-D” campaign forum at 7 p.m. Thursday at his campaign headquarters in Halfmoon, Kramer said.
People will be able to participate in three different ways: in person, via telephone conference call or via the Internet, he said.
Democratic, Independence and Working Families candidate Scott Murphy and Libertarian candidate Eric Sundwall, the same evening, will participate the WMHT/Times Union debate to be televised live on WMHT, WSKG and Mountain Lakes PBS public television stations.
Kramer said the Tedisco and Murphy campaigns had previously agreed to participate in four debates, that did not include the WMHT/Times Union event.
Tedisco had already planned his own event on Thursday when he was invited to the fifth debate, Kramer said.
Kramer called back to emphasize that there are still two other debates prior to the March 31 special election: one on March 24 to be broadcast on WNYT- News Channel 13 and another on March 26 to be broadcast on Time Warner Capital News 9.
There were only three debates for the 2008 presidential campaign, which was spread out over a longer time period than the 20th Congressional District special election race, Kramer said.
Gives Sundwall more time to get his message out and that only hurts “The Disco”.
I’d run a last minute ad tying Tedisco and his opposition to the stimulus to Rush Limbaugh, his desire to see Obama fail, and his strong support of the AIG bonuses, and ask whether Tedisco agrees with him.
are those that are only 2-D to start.
I don’t understand the line from the ads supporting Murphy: “Jim Tedisco, just another Albany politician.”
Isn’t a small part of Albany included in the 20th district?
I know they are attacking the idea of corruption in Albany, not the city itself, but why don’t they say “just another politician”? Airing ads that indirectly insult a city located in the district you are tying to win does not make much sense to me…
