Now that Rudy has finished a bad 6th place in Iowa, his campaign is peddling the line that he never really competed there.
I guess they have to explain why he received half as much support as Ron Paul even after Rudy “won” an early debate by demanding an apology from Paul.
Don’t buy the BS!
Here’s part of a story from Sioux City, Iowa from the beginning of the year.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has signed up eight-term former Rep. and last year's gubernatorial candidate Jim Nussle as a key strategist and adviser to the committee Giuliani has formed to explore seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
In a statement, Giuliani said Nussle will play "an important leadership on behalf of the exploratory committee both in Iowa and nationally."
Nussle was the Republican gubernatorial nominee last year, eventually losing by roughly 100,000 votes to Gov. Chet Culver. He announced last week that he was forming a political consulting business.
For his part, Giuliani said Nussle brings valuable skills and a strong political track record in the state where precinct caucuses traditionally launch the nominating season.
"Iowans know Jim Nussle's character and commitment to public service," said Giuliani. "They benefited from his leadership in Congress for more than a decade and saw Jim campaign across the state after he received nomination for governor last year."
