Snake Pose Likely Rattles Senator's PR Machine

    Senator Patty Ritchie has long been the leader in Facebook posts and photo ops, but her Democratic opponent delivered an Internet wake up call today.
    Senate hopeful Amy Tressider used publicity over a snake loose at the County Fair to release a shocking photo that trumps the Senator's parrot pose and her tree tapping imagery.
    Ms. Tressider is seen holding a large python and she has a wall to wall smile while doing it. The Democrat got some further press this week in the WDT over a ribbon cutting photo in which she was photo shopped out for apparently political reasons.
    Does this kind of bravado impress voters ?  It certainly makes the obscure Oswego County legislator better known, and shows she has a flare for the dramatic.
