Who knew Manhattan’s Upper West Side, home to Zabar’s, Artie’s matzoh ball soup and the political left, would come up in the context of Connecticut’s Republican Senate primary race?
The campaign of ex-GOP Congressman Christopher Shays lifted footage from famous “Seinfeld” episode known as the “Nothing Pitch” for a YouTube video attacking rival Linda McMahon.
Through the medium of the enduring 1990s sitcom about nothing, Shays is trying to make the argument that McMahon is all style and no substance.
Shays, who trails McMahon by 29 points in the most recent Quinnipiac poll, is relying on YouTube and other mediums to get his message out to GOP voters before the Aug. 14 primary.
He says he doesn’t have enough money to buy TV air time.
All this begs the question: if McMahon could choose a “Seinfeld” clip, what would it be?
