Grandy Pulls Ads to Avoid Negative TV War
Republican candidate Fred Grandy said he will skip costly 30 second negative TV spots and tour 60 counties to speak directly to Iowans. He argues the public is turned off by nuclear style ads and will use truth in Iowa broadcasts and newspaper contrasts to highlight Branstad’s record. He trails Branstad by up to 10 points but targets soft supporters in the so called quiet vote.
