Perry Rolls Out New Iowa Ad

Rick Perry continues to introduce himself to Iowa voters with a new positive television ad set to air this week.

Paul Begala: “Perry has had it bass-ackwards, attacking in person and using paid TV for positive spots that have been surprisingly bad. Right now he’s running ads claiming he will create 2 million jobs by loosening regulations on coal and oil companies. First, someone needs to tell Rick we need about 20 million jobs. And second, no one thinks the recession was caused by too few drilling rigs. You work with what you have, so if your candidate can’t debate, just get him through the events without an unforced error — and then use TV to carpet-bomb the most dangerous opponent.”
