Weekly makes case that Tedisco hasn't

The weekly Ballston Journal endorsed Jim Tedisco this week, because it is fearful that the various bailouts, stimulus and budget plans, along with the commitment by the Democratic administration and Congress to spend much more on health care, education and new energy sources, threaten to pile up deficits and debt that will ruin the currency and bankrupt the country. It's an old-fashioned argument from the day when fiscal conservatism meant more than just cutting taxes. It might appeal to the large number of Republicans in the district who, according to the latest Siena poll, are not yet sold on Tedisco. (The Journal is also old-fashioned in that it only appears in print. The Tedisco people ought to put up a PDF link to the editorial on their Web site.)
