Jim Tedisco, the Republican candidate for Kirsten Gillibrand’s former House seat, sure has an interesting rebuttal to Democrats attacking him over his refusal to say how he would have voted on the stimulus bill.

Tedisco told the New York Times that if he answered this hypothetical question, it would only open the door: “It won’t just be this, it’ll be, ‘How would you vote on the war in Iraq?'”

Isn’t he now just leaving himself wide open for questions about Iraq?
