March Madness

This is a press release whose very concept was so silly, I felt compelled to read it all the way through.

TEDISCO TAKES ON MARCH MADNESS WITH NCAA BASKETBALL PICKS ON HIS BLOG,
www.tediscostake.com

Assembly Republican Leader James Tedisco (R,C,I-Schenectady-Saratoga) today updated his blog, www.tediscostake.com, with his picks to win the NCAA March Madness Men’s Basketball Tournament. In recent weeks, Tedisco has been right on target with his predictions, whether it be the Giants winning the Super Bowl by 3 points, hitting the bulls eye in an ax-throwing competition, or predicting how much money the state will have to spend for next year’s budget.

Tedisco was a star athlete on the basketball court in high school and college and was named the NCAA Silver Anniversary Award winner, and earned the National Association of Basketball Coaches’ (NABC) 25th Anniversary Award. He was elected in 2002 as one of the first members of the Union College Athletic Hall of Fame.

WHO: Assembly Republican Leader James Tedisco (R,C,I-Schenectady-Saratoga)

WHEN: Available online as of 10:00 a.m., Thursday, March 20, 2008

    Well, according to Clinton, only she and McCain are qualified to be President anyway. So, be pleased.

    Very clever Mike, mixing polls like that and witing it up like it was the same pool. The first poll is Rasmussen where Mccain beats hillary by 10 and Obama by 7.
    The second poll you reference is a Gallup poll which Give Hillary a 7 point lead. However, Rasmussen gives Obama a 46 – 43 advantage. The Gallup poll was taken from the 14th and concluded prior to Obama’s speech on the 18th.

    CNN reporting that Bill Richardson will endorse Obama today. A potential ticket…?
