I perform daily searches for information on Rudy Giuliani. I think his candidacy is a joke and he's making a fool of himself to any person who has been paying attention. I know many believe he'd be a formidable general election candidate, and in some ways, that may be true. Yet in many others, I think he'd be a great person to run against, because he gives us so much ammunition.
As I'm at the gym on the treadmill, to get myself pumped up, I usually imagine myself being involved with a campaign for whatever Democrat is the nominee. I often think of what sort of ads I'd run against the Republican nominee. For Giuliani, his biggest strength is his perceived national security expertise. We know this is a sham, but it's still potent, so that's what we would have to attack.
Why not simply erect billboards in areas of the country where they are still allowed that show him shrugging his shoulders with a confused look on his face, with text that reads something like, "If only I knew what I was talking about..."? It's simple, would be constant and reach a lot of people, and would attack his biggest strength without mentioning any words that remind people of his alleged expertise. Would it really cost so much more than ads besides those on television? This sort of attack ad would work well on any Republican, but on Giuliani, it'd be particularly effective, I believe.
I'm not really familiar with presidential campaign ads, since my state doesn't usually get them. Nor am I familiar with billboards, because my area of the state and country outlawed them years ago.
What do you guys think?
