Ads Classified: Giuliani Hits the Radio Airwaves in Iowa and NH
Until now, Mitt Romney has pretty much had the GOP airwaves to himself -- which is one reason he's sprinted to a lead in the first two states. Now, Rudy Giuliani has begun running 3 radio ads in Iowa and New Hampshire including
this one, "Out of Control." They're essentially bio ads, focusing on the challenges Mayor Giuliani faced in New York dealing with the economy and crime.
We said at the outset that Giuliani's campaign, ironically, would often resemble Michael Dukakis's in 1988. And so it goes here. The Duke promised to do for America what he did for Massachusetts. Giuliani offers to do for the country what he did for New York. Whether that works in two places about as different from New York as any in the country remains to be seen.
