ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 26 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today, Bush-Cheney '04 announced the release of the campaign's newest radio advertisement, "New York City Mayors." The ad highlights the fact that former New York City Republican Mayor Rudy Guiliani and former New York Democratic Mayor Ed Koch are putting aside political differences to support President Bush because of his decisive leadership after September 11 and clear strategy for winning the War on Terror.
The ad will begin airing this week in select local markets and can be downloaded at http://www.georgewbush.com/VideoAndAudio/

Script For "New York City Mayors"
RUDY GIULIANI: I'm Rudy Giuliani.
ED KOCH: I'm Ed Koch.
GIULIANI: I'm a former Mayor of New York City and a Republican.
KOCH: I'm a former Mayor of New York City and a Democrat.
GIULIANI: We don't always agree.
KOCH: In fact we often disagree.
GIULIANI: But we're both supporting George Bush for President.
KOCH: That's right, even me Ed Koch, a life long Democrat. I've been impressed with President Bush and his response to the September 11th attacks and I know he has what it takes to win the war on terror.
GIULIANI: President Bush is a leader who is willing to stick with difficult decisions even as public opinion shifts... and John Kerry, his record suggests a man who changes his position often even on matters as important as war and peace.
KOCH: President Bush will go after the terrorists and the countries that harbor them. That's why for the first time in my life I'm voting for a Republican for President, I'm voting for George W. Bush... And I hope you will too!
VOICE OVER: Paid for by Bush-Cheney '04, Inc.
PRESIDENT BUSH: I'm President Bush and I approve this message.

Ed Koch and Condi Rice are the two people most likely to sway swing voters in florida. I hope the RNC keeps them in the forefront of the ad & rally efforts there. I'm still surprised at Koch's full support. There's a large contingent of retired new yorkers in florida that formerly voted Gore.
