News Roundup

First the good PR: Randy Kuhl got some bill signing front page love with Governor Pataki in Corning, and Eric Massa got a sloppy wet kiss from the Elmira Star-Gazette.

Now, the good for one, bad for the other PR: The Rothenberg Political Report has rated the 29th "toss-up/tilt Republican", which I believe is a little more competitive than their last rating. The dispute between Sanford Dickert and the Massa campaign got aired on the AP wire late yesterday, and today's Democrat and Chronicle and Star-Gazette ran followups featuring Dickert's denial of Massa's charges. Also, I missed the Finger Lakes Times coverage yesterday, which was probably the most balanced of the bunch.
