Red State: NRCC “Aggressively Swinging” in NY19 Against Sean Eldridge
The NRCC yesterday launched a digital ad blitz against Pelosi-favorite Democrat candidate Sean Eldridge, buying up his potential campaign website domain and using Google search ads, display ads, and Facebook ads to direct voters in New York’s 19th district to www.eldridgeforcongress2014.com, where they can learn the truth about just how out of touch Sean Eldridge is.
What are people saying about it?
Nicely done NRCC. Nicely done. http://t.co/lAKs7Giwme

From Red State’s Moe Lane:
“Nice to see the GOP going on offense. Also… hasn’t the DCCC learned by now to secure the potential websites for its candidates? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
“Via Lonely Conservative, who also notes that the NRCC is doing an ad buy on this one in order to take control of the digital battlespace, or whatever the current trendy way to say “poking the Democrats with a stick” is.”
From Lonely Conservative:
“This is hilarious. The NRCC is coming out strong against Sean Eldridge, the New York City millionaire who moved upstate to run against Chris Gibson in NY19. Seriously, theDemocrats are running a transplant who married into tremendous wealth against Gibson, a war veteran who understands the people he represents because he grew up with them. Eldridge is trying to buy his way into a political career with the blessing of his party.
“NRCC Northeast Communications Director Ian Prior says they are giving this race special attention because it’s symbolic of the Democrats’ hypocrisy. And by special attention, I mean, special attention! The NRCC has bought the domain SeanEldridgeforCongress2014.com and have a big ad buy to direct internet searches to the site….
“It’s nice to see the GOP to taking the gloves off, coming out swinging and landing the first punch.”
While the Democrats continue to find hypocritical candidates who are out of touch with the districts they want to represent, House Republicans continue to fight for the middle class and protect Americans from the negative effects of higher debt, bigger government, and ObamaCare. Democrats like Sean Eldridge will only serve as a rubber stamp for President Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s job-killing, regulation-crushing agenda.
