Owens, Hoffman, Scozzafava Coverage Tops Google News
Like a lot of journalists, I use Google News all the time -- hourly, minute-by-minute sometimes -- to track what's going on nationally and here in our region.
I don't think I've ever seen a North Country story top the page. Even the cruise boat tragedy on Lake George didn't top the "news charts."
But the NY-23 race is there -- peaking with stories from every conceivable news organization around the world.
Wow. FWIW, NCPR will have a piece this evening on NPR's All Things Considered. Our reports have also been featured on WNYC's The Takeaway and on PBS NewsHour's website.
Also, the debate we helped produce in Plattsburgh is featured prominently in CNN's report on the contest.
Like most of you, I'm really ready to have this all over tomorrow. But I guess it's worth nodding at the circus and hoopla...

Here's to a quiet Wednesday... I hope...
They'll all be out of here so fast on Wednesday and, quite frankly, I'll be happy to see them leave. It is mildly amusing to be the center of this media firestorm (although I feel the locals - 23rd district - have been left out of all this) but the civility took quite a nosedive on this blog as the attention went up and the out of towners became involved. I look forward to getting back to thoughtful, civil comments... liberal, conservative and everything in between.

Once a winner is declared there will be many groups and individuals who tell us what it all means, and they will all be wrong. It is one election in one District and it means nothing more than that. We are not the heartbeat of America. And yes, all politics is local.
What? You mean the world doesn't revolve around US?????!!
Darn, there goes my run for President of the world...
Og Great! This is our 15 minutes if collective fame, LOL. Let's hope one candidate or the other clearly wins. The last thing we need is a recount of this mess.
Who doesn't like the Circus? or a train wreck?
The 23rd was also front page NY Times on-line (Frank Rich's column) and in the latest edition of the Economist. I am sure you will appreciate a quiet Wednesday.
