A group of 9\/11 firefighters and victims’ family members with eyes on derailing Republican Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign is close to a decision on forming an entity that would run issue ads in key early nominating states.
\n“TV made him a hero, and we’ll use TV to take him down,” New York Fire Chief Jim Riches told ABC News.
\n[…]
\nIf the group decides to move forward, it would set up a 527 committee — or something similar to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which in 2004 helped sink Democratic Sen. John Kerry’s White House bid.
\nThis Monday, the firefighters and family members are holding a meeting at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire hoping to spread the word about what they say is Giuliani’s “egregious” use of 9\/11 for political gain.
\nThe group also is considering additional trips to early presidential primary states Iowa, Florida and South Carolina.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
