Steve here again. Since Andrew's off I get to cover the news about Murphy and Tedisco actually agreeing on something (gasp!) : when to meet to argue over their disagreements (or, as it's dubbed in the political world, debate).

As noted in TU's Capitol Confidential blog yesterday (so conveniently distributed by Scott Murphy's people with their press release today), there was some debate about whether the March 9th meeting at the Poughkeepsie Journal was a debate or a standard editorial board meeting.

Well, let's put it to rest: John Penney, the editorial page editor at the publication, said the newspaper considers it a standard editorial board meeting. They like to have both candidates attend at the same time to eliminate the he-said-this, he-said-that tit-for-tat that could result otherwise.

Look for more online or in the paper tomorrow.

The weekend is almost...almost...in reach.
