Just like that, it’s Special Election season…again

President Obama’s machinations already triggered the epic Murphy-Tedisco contest on the eastern side of our listening area.

(Corrected: Thanks, anonymous.)

Now, his elevation of John McHugh to his cabinet sets off another game of musical chairs on the western side of the North Country.

Yep, it’s election time again. Time to dust off those sports metaphors!

The weird thing about this race is that it’s likely to be competitive.

This is an other once-safe GOP district that went strong for Obama and that now has a feisty Democratic grassroots.

But Republicans simply can’t afford to lose another Northeastern House seat.

The gloves are off, the horses are nosing toward the gate, it’s the seventh inning stretch (whatever the heck that means)…

One clear winner in this whole fandango (other than Rep. McHugh) are the media outlets that will begin hoovering up big $$$ in the form of campaign ad revenue…
