WASHINGTON (CNN)– In New York's 23rd congressional district, Democratic candidate Bill Owens is capitalizing on Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava's last-minute decision to drop out of the special election as a final opportunity to tie Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman to former President Bush.
In a statement released by his campaign, Owens praised Scozzafava for her dedication as a public servant, but said his focus in the final days remains on showing voters the contrast between himself and Hoffman.
"Voters have a clear choice on Tuesday: they can elect to go back to the George Bush economic agenda, or they can vote to move forward," Owens said. "Doug Hoffman and the Club for Growth's extremist agenda won't do a thing to get our economy moving again. "...I will fight to turn the page on that agenda. I will work to create jobs Upstate to get our economy back on track because that is the type of leadership we need right now in Congress."

Good. Love President Bush.
Democrat playbook: When all else fails, blame Bush..when that doesn’t work, blame Sarah..when that doesn’t work..run off and hide under rock til coast is clear
He better be careful. I think there are ALOT of folks wishing for those days again.......
Except for the last couple of months, our economy was growing during the Bush years. ‘Hope and Change’ has brought us unemployment, doom and gloom, and big government. That’s what Owens wants?
Compare attorney Owens to John Edwards - a big time loser.
Why doesn’t he campaign on what a marvlous job 0 has done?
Why doesn’t he campaign on what a marvelous job 0 has done?
Heh... When Bush was president, people had jobs.
No, Hoffman is a conservative.
Well. Now that he has swallowed his foot, he’s gonna need bam’s tender lovin’ healthcare to buy hisself a rockin’ chair.
When Bush was President our family business had business. (I think Hoffman should also use PayPal to take donations.)
Thrash that strawman!
If he would have compared him to the most despicable creature imaginable I would vote for Doug. Why? because I want to be the mosquito that buzzes around thier head while thier sleeping at night
Anita Dunn loves Mao and turns to him for guidance, WHATS THE PROBLEM? hmmmm...... I donated to Doug you should to, this is the line in the sand.
Not this folk. W only managed to throw down the gauntlet for which party can spend more money.
CNN have a direct line to the Owens campaign? They seem to be doing the campaign’s work for them. Not that I’m surprised.
“the Club for Growth’s extremist agenda”
The Democrats are a bunch of lowdown liars.
I meant being gainfully employed. You are correct on the fact that Bush spent more than most were happy with. It doesn’t seem to bother those who voted for Obama though. He spent 4 times that amount in 1/4 the time and nary a peep. Spending is NOT on the minds of the people about Bush, having a job is. I don’t know how bad unemployment is in your neck of the woods, but here we are over 15 percent. I hear alot of folks bemoan that at least they had a job when bush was president.......
