McCain Campaign television ad: Consider

Now, will this negative tit for tat ad war influence voters to vote for Giuliani and Huckabee?
Very possible.
Stay tuned…..
Update:
Mitt Romney in Iowa responds to the latest McCain attack ad:
Mr. Romney fired back at Mr. McCain this evening while talking to reporters on his campaign’s press bus. He insisted his own ad attacking Mr. McCain was a fair comparison between the two of them on issues, while Mr. McCain’s was quite different.
“I begin the ad by indicating he’s an honorable man,†Mr. Romney said. “I believe he is a good person. I make no attacks on his character, no attacks of a personal nature whatsoever. I’ve just seen the text of his ad. It’s obviously of a very differnet nature. It’s an attack ad. It attacks me personally. It’s nasty. It’s mean-spirited. Frankly, it tells you more about Senator McCain than it does about me that he’d run an ad like that.
Later, when a reporter followed up with him, he expanded.
“It’s reminicent of what he did against George W. Bush in 2000, which as you recall, he accused President Bush of twisting the truth like Bill Clinton,†he said. “Again, this is the kind of nasty, personal attack, which really doesn’t have a place in this process.â€
Yeah, right Mitt. You have been caught firing off negative ads against McCain and Huckabee. Now, you will have to take it just like you have been dishing it out.
Where is the GOP 11th commandment when you need it?

Flap,
Hope you had a good Christmas. It appears to me that Romney, Huckabee and McCain are beating each other up over Iowa and New Hampshire. I appreciate the fact that Rudy has stayed out of the fray in New Hampshire.
Perhaps the blood bath that is occuring between the three aforementioned candidates will benefit Rudy down the road. In the meantime I see that Rudy spent the last 2- 3 days in Florida and will be in New Hampshire Sunday. Could it be that his Florida and then the Feb. 5 surge will turn out to be the right strategy all along?
Your thoughts?

Voters are tired of the same old politicians bashing each other with negative ads. They ask: what do the candidates stand for?
Contrast this with Rudy’s positive message and especially his new ad that displays his leadership.
