Faso Debuts First TV Ad For November

UPDATES WITH POST OF SPITZER RESPONSE


Republican gubenatorial candidate John Faso kicked off his TV ad campaign, posting the ad that will run upsate starting today, as we reported yesterday.

The ad goes right at Eliot Spitzer, attacking him for what Faso contends will be $70 billion in additional spending, forcing young people to move and old people to move...... He says Spitzer is about to turn out the lights on upstate New York (hence the lightbulb)

Faso never mentions his name once, which is curious for a candidate with name-recognition problems.

Spitzer's campaign had quite a bit to say in response to the ad calling it a page out of Karl Rove's playbook of scare tactics ... and much more as reported by Liz Benjamin at Capitol Confidential.
