The Saratogian's chief photographer, Rick Gargiulo, just checked in from the Tedisco party to see if he should head back in. Tedisco hasn't made an appearance yet, and he doesn't expect him to for some time.

His concern, of course, is the early deadline the newspaper is saddled with. 11:30 p.m. is the absolute latest we can send pages out to the printer.

I told him to stay put and call back in 20 minutes. That was 10 minutes ago.
