I think Fred Thompson is probably too smart to throw money into the New York Times, in a state that has absolutely no return on the investment. That would be very wasteful spending of campaign cash. I question Giuliani’s wisdom in doing it, other than for the sensationalism of making the scene.
Good point about NYC... but also consider that anyone who reads USA Today (with a circulation of 2.3 million) has also read about and seen a picture of the ad.
Here's the fact: the winner of the GOP primaries ultimately will be the person who attacks Dems the most. Not attacks each other. Hillary figured that out, and has completely ignored her primary opponents. Republicans should figure that out as well.
