Video- Teabagger Candidate in NY-26 Jack Davis Smacks Questioner
In a wild video being circulated tonight by the Erie County GOP and the National Republican Campaign Committee, a GOP volunteer (along with his camera) is shown apparently getting smacked down by NY-26 candidate Jack Davis and an assistant. The scuffle took place after Davis, who's running on a Tea Party line, received the endorsement of former NY-26 hopeful and fellow veteran David Bellavia at a Greece veterans' event.

Team Davis shrugged off the incident -- seemingly fueled by Davis' decision not to participate in a WGRZ debate -- as "histrionics" and said it proves nothing: "This is a deliberate harassment and attempt at intimidation by campaign operatives desperate to keep Jack from getting to Washington," said Davis spokesman Curtis Ellis. "They're harassing him and tracking him and trying to prevent him from getting in his own car... They're trying to get some video they can trick up and make to look more like it is. This is a non-event. This is a nothingburger." (More after the video.)

8. He gave the GOP exactly what they need

they have been trying to knock him out. He is pulling votes away from Republican Jane Corwin.

Rove and his ilk have put close to a mill in this district.

7. Maybe I have to agree with the tea bagger here. His (manager's) comment of the Republicans,
"They're getting in his face ... They are not bound by the rules of fair play, decency or even allegiance to the truth."

Spot on, goofy candidate.
