The DCCC has a new TV ad in the NY-23 special election, attacking Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman for supporting trade policies that the ad says would ship jobs to India and China.

“Hoffman wants to keep tax breaks for companies who ship our jobs overseas,” the announcer says. “New York has lost 50,000 jobs due to bad trade deals, yet Hoffman’s biggest backers want more unfair trade deals. Millionaire Doug Hoffman — looking out for himself, not us.”

Yesterday, Hoffman launched an attack ad against Democratic candidate Bill Owens, completely ignoring moderate Republican Dede Scozzafava, who has slipped down to third place in recent polls. So now the Dems are responding to Hoffman in kind.
