Tedisco On The Way To Defeat? His Lead Has Disappeared

A while back I argued that it was a mistake for conservatives to make Jim Tedisco their standard bearer in the campaign against Obama and the Democrats. Tedisco is a a McCain-lite Republican who has done everything he can to not offend Obama. He even refused to state opposition to the massive Federal bailouts. Now a new Sienna College Poll shows that Tedisco has blown a substantial lead and is trailing his Democrat opponent. Tedisco's Obama friendly campaign has erased his 12 point lead and turned it into a four point deficit. Once again conservatives will stay home and Tedisco will probably end up a loser.

New York's 20 is a center right district that a conservative should win but Tedisco has run away from the conservative label and because some high profile conservatives have backed him his defeat will be seen as an endorsement of Oabma's agenda. Another setback for our comeback.
