Hey!

Fellow freedom lovers, i have a question. Do you guys remember the IA straw poll and what the buzz was about? I particulary remember one of you guys who made some sort of list which involved explicit numbers revealing that Rudy in fact did some heavy campaigning in Iowa. Back to my question, is there anyone else who remembers what im talking about or got any other source stating Rudys intense campaigning in IA and NH? From what i remember, from that time around, i was astound that the media bought his "no campagning til FL bullshit" because he actually did some heavy campaigning in those early states.

Am i turning senile or do anyone else remember this? Im having a dispute on another forum over this and im certain that he campaigned pretty hard in these states but i need links or any other proof.

Take care!

On the January 4 broadcast of National Public Radio's Morning Edition, correspondent Ina Jaffe noted that Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani "[f]inish[ed] in a distant sixth place" in the January 3 Iowa Republican caucuses. Jaffe added: "Then again, Iowa never played a role in [Giuliani's] strategy." In fact, in a June 6, 2007, article, Reuters quoted Giuliani campaign manager Michael DuHaime saying: "We are 100 percent committed to winning Iowa and I believe we will do so." And in an August 8, 2007, article, the Associated Press reported that Giuliani said: "Our largest staff contingent is now in Iowa. ... We're going to make a big effort in Iowa. We're making a big effort and our strategy was to focus on the caucuses."

More recently, on the December 27 edition of the CBS Evening News, national correspondent Byron Pitts told Giuliani, "Here's something I've heard from people who support you in Iowa and New Hampshire, and this is a quote, 'Why has Rudy Giuliani written off New Hampshire and Iowa?' " Giuliani responded: "We haven't. We've had a proportionate strategy in that we've tried to spend time in all of the states. I see it as a nine-inning game." When Pitts asked: "But don't you have to play the first three?" Giuliani replied, "Sure, we have. We've been in Iowa quite a bit. We've been in New Hampshire even more than Iowa. We think this strategy fit our campaign."

According to National Journal's The Hotline (subscription required), Giuliani maintained 12 paid staff members in two offices in Iowa, in contrast with caucus winner Mike Huckabee's 14 paid staff members in one office and second-place finisher Mitt Romney's 17 staff members in three offices. In addition, the New York Daily News reported that Giuliani made "20 stops" in Iowa. Giuliani visited Iowa on December 29, and DuHaime visited the state on January 3.

From the January 4 broadcast of NPR's Morning Edition:

JAFFE: Finishing in a distant sixth place last night was former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, once seen as the national front-runner. Then again, Iowa never played a role in his strategy, and last night his campaign released a statement saying that they still believe their path to the nomination runs through the many delegate-rich states that don't vote until February 5.
