The other day I wrote about the little burst of concern going on with NY-25 when a race that looked pretty safe had a couple days of buzz about Republican Ann Marie Buerkle getting a hopeful internal poll, and more importantly getting a little national attention from the NRCC Young Guns list.
Friday night quiet and a chance to look at the latest numbers and reflect on a week's lack of followup fireworks makes me feel a whole lot more confident in how Maffei is doing.
I was pretty sure he'd be fine, but I don't want a squeaker, I want a clear picture my local area is not going to turn into a battleground mirroring the absurd arguments being trotted out at the national level.
This region doesn't have time for that kind of distraction. We've got jobs to create and renewal to get going.
