Today the Des Monies Register broke the news that the Giuliani Campaign doesn’t plan to participate in the famous Ames Iowa Straw Poll. In the Register’s report Campaign Manager Mike DuHaime said:

“We’ve made a decision as a campaign not to play in any straw polls this year, most notably, obviously, the Ames straw poll,”

Really?

Earlier this year the Giuliani Campaign did in fact make a concerted effort to win the nationally televised Spartanburg County Precinct Re-Org Straw Poll that aired on Fox News’ Hannity and Colmes. Giuliani finished second in the poll.

I don’t know about you but I think this post card constitutes “playing” in a straw poll. But I’ll let you decide.
