Another Sunday brings silence on Gillibrand-Treadwell

Scanning the region’s newspapers, I find almost nothing on this Sunday morning about the Treadwell-Gillibrand race.

The 20th CD battle has been expensive, but all the dollars spent have generated very little heat.

The lack of excitement would seem to be an advantage for incumbent Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, but without poll numbers it’s hard to know.

Republican challenger Sandy Treadwell is running in a district with a huge GOP advantage in terms of voter enrollment.

Could he be slowly building a “silent majority” for a November surprise?

What’s certain is that Gillibrand and her party’s leaders are taking Treadwell seriously.

I received a glossy mailing, paid for by the Democratic Party, last week supporting her bid for a second term.

The two are preparing to square off in a series of three debates over the next couple of weeks. Maybe the final days of the campaign will produce some drama…
