Giuliani Will Skip Ames, Participate In Caucuses

The Des Moines Register has an interview with Giuliani's campaign manager:

"We've made a decision as a campaign not to play in any straw polls this year, most notably, obviously, the Ames straw poll," Giuliani's national campaign manager Mike DuHaime said in a Des Moines Register interview today.

"We are 100 percent committed to winning the Iowa caucuses. We're going to take the resources that would have been spent in the straw poll and we're going to dedicate all of them toward organizing for the January caucuses."

DuHaime is briefing the rest of the press in twenty minutes.
