The biggest political matchup in the country right now pits a seasoned Republican lawmaker against an unknown Democrat in one of New York’s most traditionally conservative Congressional districts.National Republican leaders have vowed to make the contest a turning point for their beleaguered party.the $787 billion federal stimulus package — appears to be providing the Democratic newcomer, Scott Murphy, with some traction in the campaign to succeed Senator Kirsten E Gillibrand in the House of Representatives.

This is very interesting.
