Help Alice Kryzan win in New York's 26th District -- a toss-up race for the open seat held by guy who ran the House GOP's campaign committee

In the post below about McCain undermining the GOP candidates for House and Senate, there's a mention of New York's 26th Congressional District:

In New York's 26th District, internal GOP polls show McCain trailing Obama by a narrow margin, sources said. Bush won the Buffalo-based district by 12 percentage points in 2004. The race to replace retiring Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds (R-N.Y.) is considered a tossup.

That retiring member, Tom Reynolds, used to run the House Republican's campaign committee. What a fitting send-off to turn his seat Democratic.

This is an open seat-- and the Democratic candidate, Alice Kryzan, can win with some help. Just yesterday, the Cook Report changed the rating from "Lean Republican" to "Toss up."

Kryzan is a true progressive. She's been endorsed by the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle and the Buffalo News, which wrote:

It is Kryzan, though, whose position on the important issues earns her the chance to go to Congress.

Kryzan is having no more of the Bush administration’s nonsense about the solution to every problem being another tax cut for the rich. And she resists the lure of cheap, and environmentally damaging, oil, turning instead to a new, green economy that will not only battle the trends toward climate change but also promise economic benefits to previously troubled areas such as Buffalo and the Great Lakes.

She also sees the Iraq war for what it is, a needless and expensive diversion from the real threat to the United States and world civilization, a threat that continues to hide in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Alice Kryzan should be elected to Congress from the 26th District.

Her opponent, millionaire Chris Lee, gave his campaign an additional $230,000 this week, bringing his total contributions to himself up to $1.1 million -- most of that money has been used to run negative ads against Kryzan. And, listen to this douchebag move. Over the weekend, Kryzan and Lee were both scheduled to appear on a local radio show, WBEN's "Hardline with Hardwick." Lee chickened out. But, during the call-in segment, Lee's campaign manager called and started asking questions. So, the boss won't show up, but sends his hack to attack. How weak is that? Typically Republican.

This race isn't on a lot of people's radar screens, which is one reason we're shining a light on it today. But, it's a good pick up opportunity.
