not all Republicans hate democracy!

Tedisco concedes defeat to Murphy in 20th CD race
SARATOGA – Republican James Tedisco Friday afternoon conceded defeat to Democrat Scott Murphy in the special race for the 20th District Congressional seat in New York. The district runs from Dutchess County in the south to Essex County in the north.

Murphy said he was “humbled to be going to Washington.” The political novice and businessman said he looks forward to “rolling up my sleeves in Washington to bring jobs, opportunity, and prosperity back to Upstate New York.”

The election night results were so close that absentee and military ballots had to be counted.
...
Tedisco called Murphy to congratulate him and offered to work with him “to ensure that the families of Upstate New York are not left behind as our nation strives for economy recovery.” Tedisco is an assemblyman from Saratoga.
...
The 20th CD seat became vacant when Governor Paterson named Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand to the U.S. Senate.

Me? I'm sending an email to my Congressman, Martin Heinrich, suggesting that he sponsor a "Sense of the House" resolution praising Tedisco! - Republican respect for elections & the rule of law ought to be encouraged whenever it's found.
