Conservative Claudia Tenney Hopes to Ride David Brat Wave to Victory over RINO Richard Hanna
Randolph-Macon economics professor David Brat attributed his stunning victory over Majority Leader Eric Cantor in Virginia in part to the negative ads that Cantor ran on television, which he said boosted his name recognition.
Now, in New York, a similarly outgunned primary challenger says the same thing may be happening there.
New York Republican Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney says she is grateful that political attack ads by her Congressional primary opponent Rep. Richard Hanna (R-NY) greatly boosted her name ID around the Upstate New York district. Through TV ads and liberal Super PACs, Hanna, who currently has a 52 lifetime ACU rating, is attacking Tenney as a "tax and spend liberal" and as someone who is aligned with the liberal Democratic New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon (Shelly) Silver.
Tenney, who graduated Colgate University with Monica Crowley, received the big endorsements recently from other Fox News Channel luminaires Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin, Erick Erickson, and Laura Ingraham.
Tenney explained, "I have to counter [the attack ads]. So now that I've got Hannity and Laura Ingraham and Michelle Malkin and some of the others have came out like RedState.com's Erick Erickson - a whole bunch of them - so now [the voters are thinking], 'What's going on? Who's telling the truth here?'"Also read: NY-22: Laughable lies of liberal "Republicans"
