NY-20: Libertarian Candidate Endorses Democrat
After getting bounced from the ballot in the special election in New York’s 20th Congressional District, former Libertarian candidate Eric Sundwall has endorsed Democrat Scott Murphy.
“„I will be voting for Scott Murphy on Tuesday. While we disagree on some important issues, I find him to be a man of honor, a good family man and successful businessman. Unlike Tedisco, he actually lives in the District. And, unlike Mr. Tedisco, I view Scott’s business success as a virtue, not a vice.
“„I urge my supporters and all those who believe in open and free elections to show their disgust at the tactics of the Republican political machine to win at all costs. Please join me in voting for Scott Murphy on Tuesday.
This isn’t bad news for Murphy, who is leading Tedisco while Sundwall picks up 2 percent in the polls, but it’s hard to tell where Sundwall’s voters will go. He was winning 2 percent of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents—no one knows how they’ll break between Tedisco and Murphy.
