A day after a new poll came out showing that once-flailing NRCC chief Tom Reynolds had retaken the lead over Dem challenger Jack Davis, the NRCC has opened fire on Reynolds with a new, hard-hitting spot. Script: "When Tom Reynolds had the opportunity to give our soldiers a $1,500 bonus, he voted no. `No' to a bonus for our troops, but `yes' to six difference pay raises for himself. Tom Reynolds, `no' to our troops, `yes' to himself. Just the kind of bad judgment we’ve come to expect from him."

The Capitol Confidental blog notes that this is a pretty standard DCCC attack ad that's been used in other New York races. At the same time, though, it contains a hard-hitting, albeit somewhat vague, Foleygate dig in the "no judgement" line. And any DCCC help will be welcomed by the Davis camp, which is getting badly outspent by Reynolds and the tons of cash he's getting from national Republicans.
