This is the first I have heard of this race. I’m doing a bit more research now. Do you have any info about this to share?

Folks, this NOT the only congressional election this year. There is a special election for the 10th congressional district of California between rat John Garamendi and Republican David Harmer. This seat had been held by rat Ellen Tauscher until she joined Zero’s team.
Harmer is within reach and could convert another seat from blue to red. Consider sending your support.
Fund raising updates: “The Most Important Number in Politics Today,” reported $210,000 to Hoffman in the week before Sarah Palin’s endorsement. Also, there have been reports of $116,000 raised Friday, the day after the Palin endorsement. I’m not sure if that includes SarahPAC money, or just individual donors.

I get Syracuse TV stations and saw a Club for Growth ad for Hoffman that was aired twice during prime time.
About the Club for Growth ads, are they finally mentioning Hoffman by name? The latest DailyKOS/Research 2000 poll showed Hoffman with the highest "no opinion" in the favorable/unfavorable section. That usually indicates a name recognition issue. The first Club for Growth ads just attacked Scozzafava and Owens by name, not mentioning that Scozzafava was the Republican, and never mentioning Hoffman at all. I hope they have improved their ads.

I support Doug Hoffman for Congress (PayPal). Please, spread the word about this important election on November 3, 2009 in New York’s 23rd congressional district. |
Yes -
it was this one:

The picture of Doug Hoffman looks a little dorky - but other than that it was a good solid short ad. IMO
played twice.
But also saw an ad for Scozzafava and for Owens.
