(02/26/09) With just over a month to go before the special election in New York's 20th congressional district, most of the media attention has focused on Republican Jim Tedisco and Democrat Scott Murphy. They're vying to replace Kirsten Gillibrand. But there's a third politician hoping to join the race. Eric Sundwall, a Libertarian who lives south of Albany, is scrambling to gather enough petition signatures to win a place on the March 31st ballot. As Brian Mann reports, Sundwall comes from a political tradition that doesn't win many elections in the North Country, but still enjoys a lot of influence.
