Rudy vs. The Firefighters
Here's the International Association of Fire Fighters video going after Rudy Giuliani:
Marc Ambinder gives a overview of the political stakes and Rudy's aggressive pushback.
My question is why did the IAFF unveil this ad at such an early stage. It wouldn't have been smart to do it during the general campaign next year (a la the Swift Boaters), but one would think it would have made a greater impact heading into the primary season in the late fall. Releasing this in the middle of the summer runs the risk that it will be just "old news" by the time Republicans are voting next January.
