Romney Camp Issues Statements on Push-Polls
Provided below are two (2) separate, on the record statements concerning recent reports about alleged push poll telephone calls being made to voters in New Hampshire and Iowa that contain negative statements about Governor Romney's faith alongside favorable statements about other campaigns.
The first statement is in response to the calls themselves; the second statement is related to official actions alerting the Office of the Attorney General in New Hampshire:
Statement on reports of negative push polling attacks against Governor Romney:
"Whichever campaign is engaging in this type of awful religious bigotry as a line of political attack, it is repulsive and, to put it bluntly, un-American. There is no excuse for these attacks. Governor Romney is campaigning as an optimist who wants to lead the nation. These attacks are just the opposite. They are ugly and divisive." -Matt Rhoades, Communications Director, Romney for President campaign
Statement on official action by the Office of the Attorney General in New Hampshire:
"Representatives of Senator Judd Gregg, acting in his role as New Hampshire's Senator and a Romney state leader, asked New Hampshire Attorney General Kelly Ayotte for an expedited investigation into alleged push polling calls.
"General Ayotte informed Senator Gregg's office that the Attorney General's office would conduct an expedited investigation into the calls to determine if they violated New Hampshire's strict laws.
"General Ayotte requested the names of individuals who received the calls, and the Romney campaign is cooperating in providing all relevant information it has." -Matt Rhoades, Communications Director, Romney for President campaign
Statement by Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) on official action by the Office of the Attorney General in New Hampshire:
“New Hampshire voters are politically sophisticated enough to see through these types of negative campaign tactics and strongly resent this type of campaigning in our state. I know Attorney General Kelly Ayotte will see through this case with the seriousness it deserves in a thorough and timely fashion.” -Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH), Romney for President National Co-Chair

McCain Campaign Issues Statement on Push Polling
U.S. Senator John McCain's New Hampshire Vice Chair, former Congressman Chuck Douglas (R-NH), along with the campaign's New Hampshire Leadership Committee, today issued the following statement on reports of push polling in New Hampshire:
"Today, the McCain New Hampshire Leadership Committee intends to file a complaint with the New Hampshire Attorney General's office seeking a full investigation to determine who was behind the push poll. The Leadership Committee calls on all the other Republican campaigns to join us as parties to this complaint. These tactics are repugnant and despicable and there is no place in New Hampshire politics for push polling or any other negative tactics that engage in personal attacks. It is especially shameful that those responsible would hide behind a push poll to impugn a candidate's faith."

Obama To Begin Airing Education Ad
Starting Friday, Barack Obama's campaign will being airing a new television ad. The ad, titled "Choices I Had," is a thirty-second ad, in which Obama discusses his education policy.
Script and ad:
My parents weren't rich. My father left me when I was very young.
The one thing I was able to get was a great education.
We should give every child the same chances that I had.
By investing in early childhood education and recruiting a whole new generation of teachers.
But government alone is not going to solve the problem.
We need parents to turn off the television and instill in our children a sense of excellence.
We've got to ask more of ourselves if we want the kind of world education that they need.

"In a field of strong Democratic candidates, Chris has stood out in the debates and throughout this campaign as a bright, tough, and experienced candidate who can take back the White House and be ready to lead on day one. Chris has a record of standing up for America's working families and the experience to restore America's credibility throughout the world. I am proud to support his candidacy."

Rudy Airs First New Hampshire TV Ad
The Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee announced today it will launch its first new Hampshire television ad on Thursday. The sixty-second ad, entitled "Tested," features Rudy Giuliani speaking about his record of results turning around New York as Mayor.
Marc Ambinder reports that "The ad will start airing tomorrow and will air on network TV stations in Boston and on WMUR in Manchester.
The cost: $314,000 -- which means that the Giuliani ad will saturate the airwaves over the next five days."
Script for "Tested":
MAYOR GIULIANI: "New York City is the 3rd or 4th largest government in the country. It's one of the largest economies in the United States.
"They used to call it unmanageable, ungovernable. A large majority of New Yorkers wanted to leave and live somewhere else. It was a city that was in financial crisis. A city that was the crime capital of America. A city that was the welfare capital of America. A city that was in very, very difficult condition when I became the Mayor.
"By the time I left office, New York City was being proclaimed as the best example of conservative government in the country. We turned it into the safest large city in America. The welfare to work capital of America. And most importantly, the spirit of the people of the city had changed. Instead of being hopeless, the large majority of people had hope.
"So, I believe I've been tested in a way in which the American people can look to me. They're not going to find perfection, but they're going to find somebody who has dealt with crisis almost on a regular basis and has had results. And in many cases exceptional results. Results people thought weren't possible. I'm Rudy Giuliani and I approve this message."

CBS Poll: Rudy, Edwards Slipping
Different day, same story...according to a CBS News/New York Times poll Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney continue to lead their respective fields.
However, the poll also shows Rudy Giuliani tied for second and John Edwards slipping into the single digits.
"Among likely Democratic primary voters, Clinton has 37 percent support, putting her 15 points ahead of Obama. Among Republicans, Romney continues to dominate. He was backed by 34 percent in the poll, while John McCain and Giuliani both trailed at 16 percent. All other candidates were in single digits."
"Clinton's support in the Granite State is solid. Though 52 percent of voters say they could change their mind, 62 percent of Clinton supporters "strongly favor" the New York senator and former first lady. As in Iowa, her experience is the top reason people are supporting her."
"And the Republican race is more fluid than it is among New Hampshire Democrats -- although only 14% of likely Republican voters are undecided, just 34% say their minds are made up about which candidate to support."

Clinton: 37%
Obama: 22%

Edwards Proposes Expanded Pain Family and Medical Leave
From The Edwards Campaign:
Today, Senator John Edwards outlined his bold policies for a more family-friendly America with universal paid family and medical leave, universal pre-kindergarten for four-year-olds, more affordable care for other children and job benefits for independent workers. Among the most significant policy proposals of the Edwards plan is for at least eight weeks of paid family and medical leave that will help American workers balance their jobs and their families.
“The broken system in Washington has forgotten America ’s families for too long,” said Edwards. “In the past generation, an unprecedented number of women have taken jobs outside the home, changing the face of the American workforce. But while two-thirds of mothers are now working, it has never been harder for American workers to balance the needs of their jobs and their families.
Universal Paid Family Leave: Edwards will ensure that workers have time off when they need it by working with states to offer eight weeks of paid family and medical leave to all American workers.
Universal Preschool and Affordable Childcare: Edwards will help make quality preschool education as common as kindergarten by helping all states offer “Great Promise” universal high-quality programs for four-year-olds.
Economic Fairness for Independent Workers: Edwards supports updating benefits for independent workers, who are largely excluded from retirement, health care, unemployment insurance, sick days and other benefits of traditional employment.

Obama Talks With Women
From The Obama Campaign:
Senator Barack Obama continued his straightforward conversation with New Hampshire voters today at a roundtable with working women on balancing work and family. On his nineteenth trip to New Hampshire, Obama heard from Walpole residents and employees of Burdick Chocolate about the challenges they face in meeting their personal and professional commitments, and he shared how his plan to reclaim the American Dream would help ease the strain.
"Its getting harder and harder for working women to strike that balance between tending to their careers and tending to the well-being of their loved ones," Senator Obama said. "My plan will make a real difference for working families by increasing access to child care, mandating that the minimum wage keep pace with rising prices, and expanding paid leave to meet the needs of working caregivers and parents."

McCain Airs Ad Focused on Pork-Barrel Spending
U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today released a new television ad, entitled "Outrageous," to run statewide in New Hampshire and in the Boston market. The new ad focuses on John McCain's commitment to ending wasteful pork-barrel spending in Washington.
VIEW THE NEW AD HERE: http://www.johnmccain.com/tvads/
Script for "Outrageous" (:30-TV)
ANNCR: 233 million for a bridge to nowhere.
Outrageous.
3 million to study the DNA of bears in Montana.
Unbelievable.
A million dollars for a Woodstock Museum -- in a bill sponsored by Hillary Clinton.
Predictable.
Who has the guts to stand up to wasteful government spending?
One man.
John McCain.
JOHN MCCAIN: I'll stop wasteful spending by Congress. And restore Americans' trust in their government.
JOHN MCCAIN: I'm John McCain and I approve this message.

Dennehy: Shift Towards McCain Similar To 2000
A not-so confidential memo from John McCain's national political director, Mike Dennehy.
"This shift in momentum has a similar feel as in the 2000 campaign. Crowds at our Town Hall meetings are growing and getting much more enthusiastic, veterans are showing up at campaign events in droves, and phone calls and emails to our headquarters are keeping our volunteers overtime.
You will see John in every corner of the state in the weeks ahead and we’ll need your help more than ever. As more and more voters tune in to the race, we expect to have the same success converting undecideds into supporters. We need to grow our local organizations and turn your friends and neighbors into supporters too. If this conversion rate holds, we’ll be taking the lead for good on, or even earlier than, January 8 – when we EXPECT the Primary to be held."

Edwards Unveils Plan For Dealing With PTSD
From The Edwards Campaign:
Today at Plymouth State University in Plymouth, NH, John Edwards unveiled a five-point plan to reform our nation's system for treating veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). A recent study found the number of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans seeking treatment for PTSD from the Department of Veterans Affairs increased by nearly 20,000—almost 70%—in the year ending in June 2007. Today, as we observe Veterans' Day across the country, Edwards proposed a comprehensive plan to address the difficulties that veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan currently face in receiving treatment for PTSD.
Edwards' plan would:
-Increase the time that service members spend at home between tours of duty
-Improve resources, training and outreach to help eliminate the stigma associated with PTSD
-Aggressively resolve the backlog of PTSD claims currently faced by the VA
-Provide a comprehensive medical examination for each service member upon his or her departure from the service
-Create a new national chain of care to ensure that no veteran's medical care falls through the cracks

Obama Visits Homeless Vets
From The Obama Campaign:
As the nation observed Veterans Day, Senator Barack Obama today visited Buckingham Place , a transitional housing facility for homeless veterans in Nashua, NH. After touring the facility, a 20-unit apartment building that is one of the first of its kind in the country to provide services for both male and female veterans and their families, Obama met with residents to discuss how programs like this one can help keep America’s veterans from ending up on the streets and ensure that they receive the care and support they deserve.
“Our veterans are a part of an unbroken line of Americans who have borne the greatest burden for our freedom. Americans who threw off the tyranny of a king; who held our nation together and set the captives free; who faced down fascism, fought for freedom in Korea and Vietnam, and brought peace to the Balkans; and who fight bravely and brilliantly under our flag today in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Obama said. “Keeping faith with those who serve must always be a core American value and a cornerstone of American patriotism. Our commitment to those who serve begins at enlistment and it must never end. That is a sacred trust. It is a trust we must keep. But every night that a veteran sleeps on the street, we are not keeping that trust.”

NH Polls: Dem Race Getting Closer, Romney Leading GOP
Here's a summary of two polls that show the Democratic contest is beginning to get tighter, while Romney continues to lead the Republican field.
Boston Globe/UNH:
Two months before the New Hampshire primary, Romney leads his nearest rival, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, 32 percent to 20 percent, with Senator John McCain of Arizona third at 17 percent. Among Democratic voters, Clinton, the New York senator, leads Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, 35 percent to 21 percent, with former senator John Edwards of North Carolina third at 15 percent.

Romney, Clinton ahead, vulnerable in N.H. poll
Marist College:
Hillary Clinton’s once commanding lead over her Democratic rivals for the 2008 New Hampshire Democratic Presidential Primary has been nearly halved. Last month, Clinton led her closest competitor, Barack Obama, by 21 percentage points. Now, the gap has narrowed to just 11 percentage points. 36% of likely Democratic presidential primary voters support Senator Clinton followed by 25% for Senator Obama. Former Senator John Edwards receives 14%. The remaining candidates, Governor Bill Richardson, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Senator Joe Biden, Senator Chris Dodd, and former Senator Mike Gravel trail with single digit support.
Former Governor Mitt Romney leads the field of candidates seeking the Republican presidential nomination. 33% of likely New Hampshire Republican Presidential Primary voters support Romney compared with 22% for former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and 13% for Senator John McCain. The remaining candidates, Congressman Ron Paul, former Governor Mike Huckabee, former Senator Fred Thompson, Congressman Tom Tancredo, and Congressman Duncan Hunter have only single digit support
