I do like Tedisco, and am quite familiar with his work in the Assembly. While I'd hate to see him out of that office, I don't have any problem with him, the out of district issue notwithstanding. The district is a convoluted,gerrymandered piece of work, but covers much the same area as mine. I know better than to balk at age, though. Smart, vibrant people can be any age. And while I'm familiar with Faso, He got smeared by Eliot Spitzer, and the other guy made no impression on me... BTW which year? What was Sandy Treadwell running for in '06?
