The results of Tuesday's special election in New York's 20th congressional district will be talked about for years and years to come.
Well, at least it will on Wednesday.
The contest to replace now-Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) — which pitted first-time candidate Scott Murphy, a Democratic businessman, against Jim Tedisco, the Repubican leader in the state Assembly — is too close to call. Sixty-five votes separate the two, with 154,000 cast, and 10,000 absentee ballots still to be counted. How to interpret the results?
That will be the main focus on our regular Wednesday web chat that begins at 2:45 p.m. ET, or immediately after the conclusion of the Political Junkie segment on NPR's Talk of the Nation.
Plus: The president's handling of the problems facing the auto industry, his agenda for the G-20 summit, an update on the Minnesota Senate race (haven't we heard that before!), and the latest on two embattled Pennsylvania pols — Sen. Arlen Specter (R) and Rep. John Murtha (D).
I'll be joined by Liz Halloran, the Washington correspondent for NPR Digital News, who has been following the Coleman-Franken case, and Casey Seiler, the state editor and blogger for the Albany Times-Union, who has been all over the Tedisco-Murphy race. As always, the chat is hosted by NPR's David Gura, assistant editor at Talk of the Nation.
