20th CD - results continue
An update from our reporter Emily, who talked to Young Republican Josh Reed of Albany. The group worked hard in Saratoga County, he said. Today they were out in Saratoga Springs and, by some stroke of luck it seems, "We were knocking primarily on Republican doors."
Phil Kline, former Saratoga Springs supervisor, said "Both candidates made an excellent effort to get the vote out," and added that the negative ads and the phone calls people have been complaining about are "the nature of the beast."
"It's a very spirited and short campaign and I think we spent too much money, but again that's the nature of the beast," Kline said.
Emily also talked to Shelly the bartender, who told her beer was the most popular beverage of choice this evening at the Holiday Inn. Shelly said it's the second time working a Republican campaign event (the other was in November, of course) and that Republicans are good tippers.
Andrew just called in with an update, but I told him to call back in a few.
A glance at the TV results showed Murphy may be pulling ahead. It's getting interesting.
By the way, I was looking at the blog traffic, and it's through the roof. Thanks for reading, everyone! More to come.

How many absentee ballots are there to count? It looks like Murphy is ahead by 65 votes with all the precincts reporting. Very close...
