NY-23 GOPer's Ad: 'She'll Fight Tax Increases, And Say 'No' To The Big Spenders'

Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava has a new TV ad in the NY-23 special election, attacking her Democratic opponent Bill Owens as a big taxer.

"Dede Scozzafava disagrees," the announcer says. "She'll fight tax increases, and say 'no' to the big spenders."

This election a is a three-way race between not only Owens and the socially liberal GOPer Scozzafava, but also Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman, who has attacked Scozzafava as not being a real Republican. In that context, it especially makes sense for Scozzafava to attack Owens from his right -- she's not just fighting Owens for swing voters, but competing to be the credible candidate for the right.
