The Fighting 29th

All about New York's 29th Congressional District

RNews has a story about last night's debate, as do WHEC and WETM.

The Olean Times-Herald covers Massa's talk in front of some college students at St. Bonaventure.

Bloomberg uses the 29th as its main example in a story about Congressional challengers who are out-raising incumbents.

The Hornell Evening Tribune has a candidate interview with Randy Kuhl.

Kuhl's been endorsed by a couple of police organizations.

The Corning Leader and the Star-Gazette have stories on both candidates' appearance at the Chemung County Womens' Council Tea.

WETM catches up with the goner story.

Julie Sherwood at the Messenger-Post has a good race backgrounder that goes into some depth on the main issues in the district.

Here's an interesting one: Fox News' election-night primer says Kuhl is "toast".

FEC filings show that the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is still spending in the 29th district.

Yesterday, the NRCC spent $35K on an anti-Massa mailer. On Thursday, they spent $9K on another mailer and roughly $26K on a media buy.

As of Wednesday, the NRCC had spent a little over $300K, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) spent more than $500K.

Randy Kuhl and Eric Massa will be guest speakers at a tea in Elmira tomorrow.

Kuhl is pushing back on the Goner List story.

Both Syracuse News 10 and Rochester's WROC have stories about the Goner List.

Eric Massa attended a candidate forum in Watkins Glen. Randy Kuhl did not attend. The Massa campaign has a press release out noting that Kuhl was having a press conference while the forum was taking place, but that's not reported in the S-G story.

Massa also has a candidate response to the Democrat and Chronicle's endorsement published in today's issue.

Sean Carroll at 13-WHAM notes that Kuhl made the same "suffer" comment to the D&C.

Finally, Water Buffalo Press notices that claims of record voter registration in Monroe County were incorrect.

Randy Kuhl is on an internal GOP "goner" list, according to a report in Politico. Kuhl's seat is ranked in the worst category, along with neighboring NY-25 and the Don Young (AK-AL).

Along with that non-endorsement from his party, Kuhl also received the endorsement from Vets for Freedom.

The Hornell Evening Tribune is the first area newspaper to cover Kuhl's suffering remarks.

The Hill, which broke the story, has a follow-up documenting Kuhl's refusal to back off.
