It's a bad ad. CfG illustrates yet again how clueless they are about public opinion. CfG seems to really believe that a majority of voters actually WANT CONSERVATIVE representation. They don't, that's beyond obvious, and yet the CfG people are completely blind to reality.

So they run this ad that by its own terms CAN appeal ONLY to 30something percent of voters, not the 40something plurality they need to win.

I know WalterMitty commented above that maybe CfG is trying to split the liberal vote, but I'm skeptical that's their intent. Most of the ad focuses on how conservative Hoffman is...it doesn't present him as a moderate or centrist or other sanitary language, but brags about how far right he stands. That isolates Hoffman, not his opponents.

Owens is going to win this thing, and I increasingly think by a large margin. It doesn't help the right that now the RNC decided to throw money to DeDe. The right's only chance here as of late was for the GOP establishment to abandon DeDe and hope the Republican base and conservative-leaning swing voters all go to Hoffman. But they've decided letting DeDe crash is too embarrassing. And they'll end up handing us the seat on a silver platter. :-)
