Yet more good news for NY-20!
http://www.factcheck.org/article464.html#

GOP Rep. John Sweeney's ad goes after his opponent, first-time House candidate Kirsten Gillibrand, with a half-dozen accusations layered over a soundtrack that's somehow both scary and sad. The ad tars Gillibrand with everything from taking illegal contributions to hiring a consultant tied to the Abramoff lobbying scandal to making children cry at a Sweeney rally, and more.

Gillibrand's campaign staff calls this "the spaghetti ad," as in, "throw everything at her and see what sticks." That's a fair assessment. All of the charges, in our judgment, are either exceedingly misleading or downright baseless. Some of them list no backup citations, which is unusual for ads in this campaign cycle and makes them difficult for the average viewer to research. The Sweeney campaign did not respond to numerous phone messages we left inquiring about this ad

4. It's a truism that negative ads in the final week of an election
signal a campaign in deep shit.
