Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has a new TV ad out, attacking Republican nominee Sharron Angle for opposing the extension of unemployment benefits. And this new ad puts a new twist on the Reid campaign theme of using Angle’s words against her — featuring a woman who was on unemployment for 12 months, reacting to Angle’s various comments.

The ad shows Angle saying, “We really have spoiled our citizenry,” and also, “they want to be dependent on the government.”

“I’m not spoiled, and I don’t want to be dependent on anybody,” the woman in the ad says. “If Sharron Angle doesn’t get that, she should be out of work — not people like me.”

The TPM Poll Average puts Reid ahead by a margin of 46.6%-43.7%.
