A day after the Poliquin campaign launched their ad attacking Les Otten's management of the American Skiing Company, Otten is on the air with a response.

It may not have the same punch as the powerful (albeit grammatically incorrect) "Les Otten, Less Jobs" slogan, but I think it hits just the right note.

Plus, it's a chance for Otten to play the victim and talk to the camera once again about all the jobs he claims to have created.

Most likely, the campaign anticipated an attack on this issue and had the ad canned and ready.

For more on Otten, check out Al Diamon's new interview with the candidate (sort of).
