Last week, I wrote about Alice Kryzan , the Democrat running for the open seat in New York's 26th Congressional District.

Yesterday, Dr. Kevin Hardwick hosted a debate on WBEN featuring Alice Kryzan and Chris Lee, the Democratic and Republican candidates for Congress in the 26th congressional district , respectively. I listened and was very disappointed at the end. Hardwick didn't do his job yesterday. Sure, he ran the debate and asked the usual and predictable questions, but he didn't ask Lee about the incident...

Evidently, any media outlet that may have the unmitigated gall and audacity to write negative things about Chris Lee, Republican candidate for Congress from NY-26 will be shut out and any media requests will be continually and perpetually denied. That’s accessibility you can believe in.

The story of how Chris Lee once hacked into a company's website to change customers' credit limit is now the lead story on the Politico Scorecard blog . If you'd asked me a few weeks ago who I thought would win this race, I'd have said Lee. Now it's a toss-up and something like this could tip the race in Kryzan's favor.
