The upcoming March 31 Special Election to fill Kirsten Gillibrand's old House seat (NY-20) is serving as a proxy war for ideological battles being playing out nationally. While few people know the names Jim Tedisco or Scott Murhpy, we've all heard about AIG and Rush Limbaugh -- and we all have an opinion about them...

While Democrats are attempting to run against Rush, as this video demonstrates, Republicans are attempting to run against AIG.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
