Murphy DOUBLES Tedisco’s support in North Country

Here’s an astonishing statistic: Glens Falls businessman Scott Murphy has now DOUBLED his opponent’s level of support in the North Country.

The newcomer Democrat has 58% of likely voters supporting him here in the region — compared with just 29% for Republican Jim Tedisco.

Frankly, I’m baffled. Yes, Murphy is local — although no one knew his name six weeks ago. And yes, Tedisco angered Northern GOP stalwarts for bumping state Senator Betty Little.

But 29%? I don’t get it. For Tedisco’s numbers to be that bad, Republicans in Essex, Warren and Washington counties have to be abandoning him in droves.
