Giuliani Ad: Florida Can Turn Down The Noise

Thu, January 10, 2008 - 10:32 AM

Tired of all the pundit chatter, handicapping the GOP presidential race like a Super Bowl?
In a TV ad launched today in Florida by Rudy Giuliani’s campaign, the narrator says “the media loves process” and that “it’s easy to lose sight of what’s at stake -- an economy in peril. A country at war. A future uncertain.”
The ad goes on: “But Florida has a chance to turn down the noise. And show the world that leadership is what really matters.”

Perhaps what the ad really means is that it's been easy to lose sight of Giuliani, who decided not to campaign vigorously in Iowa or New Hampshire, and who did not finish among the top three GOP vote-getters in either state.
Instead, Giuliani has staked much of his campaign's fortunes on Florida, which holds its presidential primary on Jan. 29. And then the 22 states that hold their primaries on Feb. 5.
