The negative campaigning has begun (http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/11/26/480351.aspx) between Rudy and Romney...

This is exactly what we want to happen (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=31280)...

Excellent, Smithers...

Exactly. This is the same thing that gave Kerry the nomination in 2004.

Rudy and Romney will bring each other's poll numbers down while Ron Paul and Huckabee surge. Thompson is floundering along with McCain. All according to plan.

Sun Tzu would be pleased with this. Let your opponents exhaust each other.

For other states, fine. Both are non-entities in NH, so I'm looking forward to Rudy spending his money bashing Romney and vice versa. :) Romney and McCain are our real opponents here and I realize McCain is an after-thought elsewhere.
But my point was that a Rudy-Romney mudfest helps out NH to a great degree as per my Bruce Keough thread linked above.

LOL...the so-called frontrunner's are in a death grip. I hope they all win...the death-grip that is ;)



From the article....notes the use of the term "blowback".

HUCKABEE: The AmSpec's Jennifer Rubin likes Huckabee’s new TV ad. "It's a classic ‘I'm one of you’ ad. It is also obviously a comparative ad making the argument that he doesn't ‘have to wake up everyday wondering what do I need to believe’ without using the name of the guy ahead of him in Iowa. Will Romney be as skillful in pushing back or will he have to run a tradition negative ad at some point regardless of the risks of a blowback in ‘nice’ Iowa?”

Rudy doesn't play chess, does he?

Negative campaigning in NH usually drags a candidate down, just not as quickly as the person they are criticizing. So, Romney is ahead of him in NH and Rudy decides on a war of attrition... Yup. Good thinking.
