New York Republican Starts Airing His Ads, But Forgets To Mention His Party Affiliation

Reynolds airs his ads early

Gee, I wonder why?

Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-N.Y.), who is in charge of keeping Congress in GOP hands this fall, surprised the political establishment yesterday by airing an early television advertisement that made no mention of his party affiliation.

Democrats suggested that the timing and content of the advertisement indicate that Reynolds, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), faces a tough reelection race against multimillionaire businessman Jack Davis (D), who lost to Reynolds in 2004.

“The ad shows that he knows where he is vulnerable,” Davis said in a statement.
