Now, as to the &#8220;dirty trick&#8221; portion &#8211; it would be a dirty trick if the ad mentioned things that Scozzofava didn&#8217;t really support &#8211; but it doesn&#8217;t. Throughout the article, the Scozzafava team criticizes the group that made the commercial, but they don&#8217;t mention the actual content. So there&#8217;s nothing misleading in the commercial &#8211; if you want a progressive representing you in Congress, vote for Scozzafava. <\/p>\n<p>Hoffman is going to take this election. I lived in NY23 for seven years and I know the voters. They get New York City nonsense thrust upon them and they&#8217;ve watched the entire area deteriorate into a wasteland because of liberal policy. <\/p>\n<p>According to the latest poll (<a href=\"http:\/\/oswegocountytoday.com\/?p=24825\">commissioned by the Daily Koz<\/a>), undecided voters are at 14% &#8211; they&#8217;ll swing to Hoffman, just to show their independence from the rest of the State. They&#8217;re fiercely conservative and independent and Hoffman does indeed represent them. <\/p>\n<p>You watch &#8211; my ability to call elections has been faulty in the last few years, but I&#8217;m confident about this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politico ran a piece yesterday entitled Republican Dirty Tricks in NY 23, but it&#8217;s a misleading &hellip; <a title=\"Dirty trick?
