I man claiming to be named George Miller, who said he works in the snack industry in New York City just called me, apparently to shoot the political shit.

Although Miller claimed to have no affiliation with any political body other than being a registered republican, he seemed keen on pressing upon me the idea that upstate voters ought to give Tedisco a chance.

What, exactly, he thought call me would do to help, I'm not sure. It would be one thing if he were complaining (as some have) that my reporting on the race is biased against Tedisco, but he wasn't saying that at all. Rather, he said that my stories have been very balanced.

Thanks, George!

However, George and many reader should look forward to The Saratogian's endorsement of one of the candidates, which will be in Sunday's news section.

Happy weekend!
