An Example Of How Weak The GOP Brand Is: Jack Martin’s Strategy In New York’s 4th Congressional District…
August 7, 2008 | Permalink
I am back in New York and I noticed a campaign commercial for the local house race here between incumbent Carolyn McCarthy (D) and challenger Jack Martins (R). Martins ad puts a twist on the “change” theme while also neglecting to mention that he is a Republican. Take a look:
I thought this was a bit curious, so I perused his website and it also fails to contain a single reference to Martins being a Republican.
There’s not much to say about this other than to note this as an example of the weakness of the Republican brand during this election cycle. Additionally, the lack of party identification coupled with the “change” theme gives the impression that Martins is in line with Obama’s Changevolution and McCarthy isn’t. Subtle and tricksy.

what? Bullshit! I call bullshit! Mineola is a shithole.
I know Jack Martins. Unlike Carolyn (who votes with her party over 98.5% of the time and hasn’t had an original thought in over 10 years) Jack is not about towing the party line. His web site makes over a half dozen remarks critical of the “sit back and do nothing” democratic congress and would vomit at the idea that someone would peg him as another one of the “3 blind mice” democratic club. Interesting that this is labeled a “non-partisan” website.
Pro-life. Voter. NOBAMA.
No way… I thought I was the only whom thought this guy message was odd. I started digging too… I searched for his biography before I stumble upon your post.
I wonder what else this guy is hiding…
I will be sure to look for McCarthy - at least I know she is not trying to deceive me so openly - come November.
