LIEBERMAN AIRS FINAL NH AD: YOU CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

January 26, 2004   

Ad highlights experience, independence, integrity

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Joe Lieberman's campaign today unveiled its final New Hampshire television ad, which highlights Lieberman's experience, independence and integrity -- and his growing support from across the Granite State, including from 1,000 independent voters who endorsed him this weekend and the four state newspapers that have backed his candidacy.

More and more people are choosing Joe Lieberman, the ad says.  Maybe it was the debate, where he showed his experience and convictions.  Maybe they've heard that George Bush says he fears Joe Lieberman the most.  Maybe it's just time to get serious about the job of President.

The ad, entitled More and More, refers to Lieberman's endorsements by the Manchester Union Leader, Foster's Daily Democrat, Laconia Citizen, and Lawrence Eagle Tribune.  It also references a report in The Australian and the Washington Post in which Bush privately told the Australian Prime Minister that Lieberman is the Democratic candidate he views as his most formidable opponent.

This is the moment, the ad says, making a final pitch to undecided voters.  You can make the difference.  Choose experience and independence.  Choose integrity.  Choose a President -- Joe Lieberman.

The ad can be seen online at joe2004.

Lieberman Unveils New N.H. Ad, Continuing Vow to Take Country Forward, Not Backward

Joe: "I am more determined than ever to fight for what's right."

ARLINGTON, VA -- Joe Lieberman's campaign unveiled a new New Hampshire television ad today, continuing Lieberman's promise to take the country forward, not backward -- a contrast to Howard Dean, who would reverse the gains made under Bill Clinton.

I know how to unite America again -- and take us forward, not backward, Lieberman says in the ad. I am more determined than ever to fight for what's right for you.

The ad touts Lieberman's solid progressive record, including his strong environmental, civil rights, and pro-choice advocacy.  It also draws distinctions between Lieberman and the rest of the field, on Lieberman's strength on defense and security, and his unique plan to cut taxes for 98 percent of Americans. 

Finally, the ad describes Lieberman as a man of rock solid integrity, which follows on the heels of a new Franklin Pierce College poll showing that integrity, not electability, is the most sought-after quality among New Hampshire voters. 

The ad builds on Lieberman's speech yesterday in Manchester, New Hampshire, in which he warned that in countless areas of domestic and foreign policy, Dean would take the Democratic party and the country backwards.  Lieberman's speech was his most comprehensive effort to date to highlight the serious differences between himself and Dean.

The ad, which includes footage from Lieberman's recent unedited televised town hall that aired last weekend on WMUR-TV, can be viewed at joe2004
