The state Board of Elections Web site shows Scott Murphy gave two donations of $300 to Friends of Betty Little in 2007-2008, one from Central Park West in Manhattan and one from his address in Glens Falls. As the first comment below indicates, the link to the Web site was broken; I couldn't fix it and have pasted the information below. So do those contributions, and this Politicker story from last month, mean there's more to the story ? Last I heard, Sen. Little was supporting her fellow Republican Tedisco, not the Democratic candidate Murphy, but you gotta wonder.

Thanks a lot, Matt. I've clarified it.

I'm trying to figure out why this matters.
I'm far more interested in the origin of the "donations" Murphy (and Tedisco) are RECEIVING and what THEY mean.

Follow the links. It matters because Murphy is up by 25 points in Little's part of the district, and she could be the key to the election.,

I've read those stories before.
Im still more interested in the origin of the "donations" Murphy and Tedisco are RECEIVING and what THEY mean.
You're speculating on who might win. It's more important for the electorate to know WHY they should care if Murphy, Sundwall or your boy wins and who they will be beholden too if they do win.
If Little donated to Murphy's campaign, this would be a story, IMO.
