"Andrew Cuomo. Unicorn killer"
Joseph Spector
That's the latest ad from GOP gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino, a spoof, he says, of the "multi-million-dollar barrage of over-the-top smear television advertising" Cuomo is using against him.
The ad comes after Astorino and Cuomo engaged in an ad war over Astorino being a Miami Dolphins fan, and amid criticism that the race for governor has lost any semblance of a meaningful debate of the issues important in New York.
Astorino said yesterday he is unaware of any plans for them to have debates.
Astorino's ad, which is online but expected to hit the airwaves, ends with: "New Yorkers need jobs and tax relief, Governor Cuomo. How about talking issues for a change?"
Cuomo spokesman Matt Wing told the Wall Street Journal: "You know a campaign has no ideas and nothing real to say when they start talking about unicorns."
