UPDATE FROM MARTIN’S CAMPAIGN FROM MANCHESTER, NH

(Feb. 23, 2011)  — Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Manchester news conference today, Wednesday, February 23rd at 2:30 P.M. to release the first television ad of the 2012 presidential campaign. The ad is a devastating attack on Barack Obama. Martin is well-known in Illinois for his aggressive broadcast advertising.

Martin will meet with media and Republicans at his “fighting camp” at the Hilton Garden Inn in Manchester to release and discuss the ad.

“I began producing TV commercials forty-two years ago,” Martin says. “I have produced 30 second TV ads, one hour TV programs, 60 second radio ads and a lot of other political media. My signature does not always appear on my work.

“Wednesday we are going to release an advertisement that I believe is going to be a ‘game changer’ in both the Republican and Democratic Parties. Yes, both parties. The ad is going to initiate a process of undermining and delegitimizing Barack Obama that could possibly bring Hillary Clinton back into presidential politics.

“I think the ad is that good. Many think it is the most ‘Reaganesque’ ad they have seen since The Gipper’s own commercials. The ad certainly will not hurt my claim that I am the candidate who is most capable of duplicating the Reagan Revolution. That’s why I call my campaign the ‘New Ronald Reagan Revolution.’

“Now all we need is the money to saturate the air waves.

“We have versions of the ad ready for Iowa, South Carolina and national cable TV networks.

“The ad was created by my advertising agency, and the production work was done by WMUR-TV in Manchester. Needless to say, we are very happy customers of WMUR-TV. We have successfully worked together in the past.

“The ad is scheduled to start running in a WMUR-TV locally-produced New Hampshire-oriented program (Chronicle New Hampshire) on Thursday, February 24th (7:30 – 8:00 P.M. EST). We don’t know what time the ad will run within the program.

“When this ad hits the airwaves it is going to be a neutron bomb dropped on Barack Obama. Obama will be alive but his political invincibility will be dead. The ad will explode the myth propagated by Fox News, Bill O’Reilly, Karl Rove and Dick Morris that there is no way to launch a frontal political attack on Barack Obama’s credentials.

“In closing, let me observe some ironies. On February 22nd we were at the TV station doing final post-production and media buying, while another potential candidate (Senator John Thune) dropped out of the race and another (Rick Santorum) essentially disappeared in New Hampshire.

“I am the only Republican presidential candidate attacking Barack Obama. Period. Full stop. The other Republican presidential patsies are navel gazing. They can’t even decide if they have the ‘right stuff’ to fill Barack Obama’s shoes by formally announcing their candidacies.

“Up in heaven, I am probably Bill and Nackey Loeb’s candidate.

“I do not suffer from the inner doubt of the Republican patsies. I am the most qualified and perhaps the only Republican presidential candidate who can mount a credible reelection threat to Obama. That’s why the liberal media try to stifle my efforts and why Obama’s local stooges attack me relentlessly.

“The further irony is that while I am in New Hampshire producing the only anti-Obama ad, and I am the only anti-Obama candidate, the Chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party has been attacking me with lies and distortions and trying to undermine my candidacy. Who is this clown ‘chairman’ working for?

“While I am the only Republican who is conducting a credible campaign against Obama, some Republicans attack me? What is wrong with this picture?

“Bottom line: if New Hampshire Republicans do not remove their crackpot chairman and put a serious political leader in charge, one who will embrace my campaign, why should New Hampshire retain the first primary? I want the first primary to be held in a state that welcomes all candidates and allows me to conduct my presidential campaign against Barack Obama. I could well be the presidential candidate. Take a look at the ad and decide for yourself,” Martin says.

Andy returns to his New York headquarters on Wednesday evening.
