COMMENTS: When will Republicans Resurge?
"Both national parties are heavily invested," so ABC decided to treat a special election in a rural Congressional District in upstate New York as a national story too. John Berman warned that "special elections are often poor predictors of bigger trends: turnout is small; media coverage is small." Yet the race between Republican Jim Tedisco and Democrat Scott Murphy is hinging on national issues. Murphy "is going all-in on the stimulus;" Tedisco is "betting on the bailout backlash." If Tedisco wins, Republicans will claim it as "the first victory in their resurgence," Berman predicted.
