Albany Times-Union Endorses Scott Murphy (NY-20)
The Albany Times Union endorsed Democratic candidate Scott Murphy in this Tuesday's NY-20 special election:
"At a time when this nation desperately needs politicians in Washington to work together, the Republican Party, searching for a new identity, is defining itself largely by what it is against, namely, Mr. Obama and his policies. Its leaders line up behind radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who openly declares his hope that Mr. Obama's agenda fails.
"Yes, disagreement is part of democracy. But they - and Mr. Murphy's opponent, Assemblyman James Tedisco - fail to offer an alternative vision, other than a mantra of tax cuts, that recognizes the complexity of the nation's issues. They put the triumph of partisan ideology ahead of the nation's economic security.
[...]
"The issue: Tuesday marks a special election for the 20th Congressional District. The Stakes: The choice is between progress or partisanship."
