Rick Perry '12 Crazy to Run New Ad in NH
Observing Rick Perry unfold as a candidate this primary season has been painful at some points, funny at others and his latest move further solidifies this primary-watcher's opinion that he is completely bust. So I am prepared to make a prediction: this strategy, spear-headed by his new "Strong" TV ad, will not deliver him the nomination, or anything higher than third in any of the 4 early primary states: Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. Take a look at his new ad which is running on cable in New Hampshire today:
Hoping to grab the "War-on-Christmas" voters, Perry denounces "gays serving openly in the military" and the public school prayer ban. I thought that maybe he would only run it in the early states whose GOP electorate leans more socially-conservative, like Iowa and South Carolina, but I saw it run on cable in New Hampshire! This is a complete waste of money and a sure-fire sign that the Perry 2012 campaign is delirious.
Interesting that the Associated Press only reported it running in Iowa: http://nhjournal.com/2011/12/07/rick-perrys-new-tv-ad-strong/
UPDATE: HuffPo Reports that at least one top staffer objected to airing the ad:
"Perry's top pollster, Tony Fabrizio, called it "nuts," according to an email sent from Fabrizio to the ad's main creator, longtime GOP operative Nelson Warfield. In a separate email to The Huffington Post, Warfield confirmed that the ad was made over Fabrizio's objections."
