Both of these races are within 2 points. This means that the Dem machine here has GOT to have a massive GOTV push come November, or we can kiss those two seats goodbye.
Mid Hudson News has a little story here: http://www.midhudsonnews.com/News/2012/October/10/House_18_19_poll-10Oct12.html
It seems that Maloney is up by 2 points, and Schreibman is down by 2 points. Anything can happen here.

It would be great to see two fewer teabaggers, Hayworth, and Gibson in the House!
