Reporting from Washington — Nancy Pelosi was a staple of Republican campaign ads in the 2010 midterm elections that led to her ouster as speaker of the House.
But even out of power, the San Francisco Democrat is the featured villain in what has become the first major electoral test of 2011, a special Congressional election in western New York.
The National Republican Congressional Committee's first television ad of the race in the state's 26th district, launched Monday (see below), portrays both Democratic candidate Kathy Hochul and independent candidate Jack Davis, who once ran for this seat as a Democrat but now styles himself a "tea party" conservative, as Pelosi puppets.
It quotes Hochul as saying Pelosi has "done a great job for this country," and then claims the 2009 stimulus program failed to produce new jobs in western New York.

The seat leans Republican, but a poll commissioned by the liberal website Daily Kos showed Hochul leading Corwin and Davis, and internal polling is said to similarly show a tight race. Though it would barely shift the balance of power, Democrats would tout a victory as an indication of the shifting political winds, while Republicans would portray a GOP win as an endorsement of the House majority's record.

How is that "Playing the Card"? This is a fact that needs to be brought up to show what type of person the Rat is. They make this sound like using someones support for Pelosi is some sort of dirty practice.
The libtard media are losing their minds over this race
They are doing some of their worst sliming ever against Corwin.
Well, it’s from an out-of-touch LA Slimes writer.
Saw part of the debate on C spam last night as I was flipping through channels...Corwin is a babe. A smart one at that.
God bless conservative American women!
Why is it that only Conservative women have cajones (as far as politicians go)?
The day we learn to IGNORE AND MOCK the Dems when they play the race/killingseniors/hatethepoor card, they become a minority party for good.....
I was just on local radio talking for an hour about this mess in the 26th. Davis is taking votes from Corwin and pushing them to Hochul. This is a disaster in the making.
It’s a good thing that Democrats haven’t been running against Bush, even after he left office, or they might come across as hypocritical or something.
