Osama Bin Laden Resurfaces In Congressional Race (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
The National Republican Congressional Committee is poised to release a new ad for their man in the race to fill a vacant House seat in New York. The ad, titled "National Tragedy," beats up on Democratic candidate Scott Murphy for refusing to say he'd advocate the death penalty for the perpetrators of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The spot begins with the words "September 11, 2001." As audio plays of Murphy giving a somewhat mealy-mouthed response to the death penalty prompt, the ad shows a series of terrorist mugshots culminating with a smiling Osama bin Laden.

A Dukakis-like Leap From The Freedom Tower?
Riehl World View —
The link to a forty second cliff dive by Mike Dukakis in a 1988 Presidential debate. One of the few cliff dives actually painful to watch as the dude is going down. Will NY Democrat Scott Murphy's comments below amount to the same thing? You would think it would matter especially because it is NY. Or has that sentiment gone away just like the name Freedom Tower has? ...
If You Oppose the Death Penalty for 9/11 Terrorists, Someone Will Make an Ad Out of It
Weekly Standard Blog —
The NRCC came out with a heavy web ad today, keying off NY-20 Democratic candidate Scott Murphy's assertion that he opposes the death penalty for terrorists:
The race, seen as increasingly important as an indicator of Republican fortunes, has also become increasingly close in the closing weeks of the contest. A Siena Research Institute poll showed Murphy up four points on Republican Jim Tedisco today— a 16-point swing from Tedisco's commanding February lead. A loss in this right-leaning, rural district where Republicans outnumber Democrats would be bad news for ...

Video: Scott Murphy opposes death penalty for terrorists? posted at 8:10 pm on March 27, 2009 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | Share on Facebook | printer-friendly It’s been a big day for the NY-20 special Congressional election. The Libertarian Party candidate was forced off the ballot due to technical issues with his petitions, a problem Barack Obama’s 1996 state Senate opponents might sympathize with. Democrat Scott Murphy has caught Republican Jim Tedisco in the polls. Barack Obama has lent his considerable star power to Murphy in an attempt to hold the seat for Democrats. This new ad by the NRCC might make Obama ...

Who, BTW, according to Rush Limbaugh is running more ads against Limbaugh than saying exactly what he himself is about/for …

And it will be close. I’m thinking that it’s a squeaker for Tedisco, unless of course this particular ad:
…clarifies matters for NY-20. Also: it’d be nice if Tedisco broke 120K online, huh?

with his political affiliation Minority) released a new web video today

Adam Blickstein: On Guantanamo, The GOP Attacks Hard Working Americans
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
In an act of desperation, the GOP has settled on attacking President Obama and the Democrats for closing Guantanamo because none of their other political tactics have worked. It's clear that they want to be the party of national security, but both polls and electoral reality (2006 and 2008, not to mention the recent special election in NY-20 where a last minute Republican fear-based ad attacking Democrat Scott Murphy featuring ominous music and the faces of the 9/11 hijackers failed to make a difference in a race the GOP eventually lost) continue to refute this perception. So while Democrats and the President continue to try and make ...
