NY-20: Panic! At Tedisco: NRCC Scrapes Bottom,Trots Osama Bin Laden

Wow. (4.00 / 4)

Remind me again why it was that the GOP didn't catch these guys when they were in the US Executive for all those years?

Matters not-- if they had happened to stumble over them, they would have had them executed.  Or, at least, tortured somebody into confessing and had them executed.

There needs to be a modified Godwin's law (4.00 / 4)

that pertains to the Republican affinity to bring everything back to 9/11.

Let's call it the Rudy Rule. "If ever a Republican runs out of BS to spew, they'll invoke 9/11"

Typical. (4.00 / 4)

Since it's a minute long, I'm assuming this isn't a real TV ad, but is just intended for viral internet distribution...

Red meat for freepers (4.00 / 3)

I think it would sink Tedisco's numbers even further if he played it on TV in NY-20.

Exactly, Andrew (4.00 / 3)

Tedisco's negative ads not only are getting no traction, they are actually hurting him, according to the Siena poll.

How else can Tedisco's consistently low-60s rating among REPUBLICANS be explained?

And it's worth pointing out, and maybe diarying if I have some time outside of GOTV work, that most of these negative ads are coming from the NRCC, and that the head of the NRCC is Sweeney's good friend, and ski-junket beneficiary, Pete Sessions from Texas.

Sweeney's influence is obvious in the NRCC ads -- all negative and full of lies and near-lies.

It's really pathetic, in a way, since Sweeney did the same thing in 2006, and it didn't work.

I know nothing about Tedisco... (4.00 / 1)

...but I just love that Panic! headline - great job.

By the way, I hear on radio spots an ad seemingly blaming Murphy for the AIG bonuses, mentioning Pelosi with ominous music. Does this guy realize Americans are making fun of those now?
