NY special election goes down to the wire

By musiclover - Mon May 23, 5:05 pm

Party leaders in Washington are offering up their final spin before voters in New York’s 26th congressional district head to the polls Tuesday.

Depending on who’s doing the talking, the special election in western New York is either evidence of voters rejecting Rep. Paul Ryan’s controversial Medicare overhaul or a fluky three-way race of little national significance.

In a call to reporters on Monday, Sen. Charles Schumer of New York offered the Democratic line, saying voter opposition to Ryan’s plan was driving nominee Kathy Hochul’s surge in the polls.
