Rudy Giuliani may be stalling in New Hampshire and peeking over his shoulder at Mike Huckabee, who is gaining ground nationally. His campaign may have lost some momentum, and he may be hounded by questions regarding his personal judgment. However: Santa Claus appears with Giuliani in new
web-only and
New Hampshire advertisements. And really, who can be against Santa? You can watch the web ad below. Follow the above link to watch the 30-second spot that will air in New Hampshire. You may notice that while Giuliani says "Merry Christmas" on the web ad, he says "Happy Holidays" in the television spot (see
UPDATE below). You may also notice that Giuliani is perhaps the only political figure in America who can seem agitated over fruitcake.
UPDATE, 10:47 a.m.: I've been informed that the version of the New Hampshire ad originally linked to above was incorrect; in the correct version of the ad, which is what you'll see now if you click on the "New Hampshire" link above, Giuliani says both "Happy Holidays" and "Merry Christmas."
