RNC says 'vote conservative' in NY-23

From CNN's Lauren Kornreich

(CNN) - The Republican National Committee is pouring some last-minute money into the highly-anticipated special election in New York's 23rd congressional district with a new radio ad, as the party throws its support to Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman.

The RNC released a new radio ad on Monday encouraging Republicans to support conservative candidates on Election Day. Without naming Hoffman, the narrator says that voters "need conservative leaders who stand up for our values."

"Whose side are you on? The Pelosi-Paterson tax-and-spend train wreck?" the narrator asks in the ad, echoing a Hoffman campaign theme. "Or do you believe in Republican conservative values, like thrift, personal responsibility, and family? Let's tell the liberals, enough is enough."

The RNC had previously backed Republican nominee Dede Scozzafava, who dropped out of the race over the weekend and officially backed the Democratic nominee, Bill Owens.

The ad will air for two days in North Country media markets. The RNC would not reveal the size of the buy.

1. RNC can't control its members. Letting the lunatic fringe take over and declare who's a republican.

5. This morning Scarborough made a weird comment.

He said that Rs never win when they run to the center and Ds win when they do. Then he prattled on and on about how concervatives are so maligned when they espouse "conservative values" (whatever the hell they are). He also spent a fair amount of time pushing his grand political philosophy contained in his book that the Rs need to forsake the fringe and lose the extreme issues. It was bizarre.

Given this RNC message, sounds like ole Joe is gonna split himself in two trying to have it all ways.
