Editorial See other Editorial Articles Title: Rudy says he's liberals' 'worst nightmare' Rudy says he's liberals' 'worst nightmare' By: Mike Allen Sep 18, 2007 11:53 AM EST SAVE Digg Shown on del.icio.us del.icio.us See Whos Talking About This on Technorati Technorati I've Reddit reddit SHARE COMMENT PRINT EMAIL RECOMMEND Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign is up with a radio ad in Iowa claming he is liberals’ “worst nightmare” — an effort to get early voters to think ahead to November when they caucus in January. The spot, called “Nightmare,” shows that last week’s http://MoveOn.org ad bashing Army Gen. David Petraeus is the gift that keeps on giving for Republicans. http://“MoveOn.org is the most powerful left-wing group in the country,” the ad, which is running statewide, intones. “They spent millions electing anti-war liberals. And publicly brag how the Democratic Party is theirs — bought and paid for. Why is MoveOn attacking Rudy Giuliani? Because he’s their worst nightmare.” “They know Rudy is a Republican who can beat the Democrats,” continues the narrator, in the style of a disaster movie voice-over. “And they know, no matter what they say — Rudy will never, ever back down.” Giuliani and the liberal political action group have been in a war of words since he, like many Republicans, seized on the MoveOn ad that questioned whether Petraeus should be called “General Betray Us?" As evidence for the claim that he is the Democrats’ “worst nightmare,” the Giuliani campaign points to calculations by Real Clear Politics showing that in head-to-head matchups in national polls, Hillary Clinton is an average of four points ahead of Giuliani but nine points ahead of Fred Thompson and 11.7 points ahead of Mitt Romney. MoveOn responded by announcing it will expand the buy for its "Giuliani: A Betrayal of Trust" TV ad, which began running in Iowa Tuesday. Now, the ad will also run on CNN, the group said. A MoveOn news release says the group spent $50,000 to air the ad in Iowa and will now spend $50,000 for the national airtime, bringing the total to $100,000.
