ABC News’ Jan Simmonds reports: Rudy Giuliani's media blitz of Florida continues Friday with the launch of another television ad with a focus on his leadership in the aftermath of 9/11.

After lauding Giuliani for his efforts to fight corruption, change welfare and clean up New York, the ad, entitled "It Matters", shows images of 9/11, including then-New York City Mayor Giuliani at Ground Zero embracing victims' loved ones and thanking those who were helping with relief efforts.

Over the images a deep voiced narrator says, "When the world wavered, and history hesitated, he never did," going to a final shot of the White House at night adding, "Rudy Giuliani. Leadership. When it matters most." You can see the ad here.

The ad, at least initially, will only air in the West Palm Beach television market of Florida. His campaign, which is relying heavily in this state on the support of transplanted New Yorkers, devotes much of its efforts here to reminding Floridians of the accomplishments Giuliani touts from his time as NYC Mayor, with the lynchpin being how he handled the aftermath of September 11th.

None of the candidates can match Ron Pauls conservative record, integrity and support for the constitution and his consistant track record with no flip flops. During his 20 years in
Congress Ron Paul has never taken a government-paid junket, has never voted himself a pay raise, and does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget or to raise taxes, or to allow the govt. to spend our Social Security Fund money on other govt. expenses. He is a Statesman with integrity, who walks the
talk.

Paul, a veteran has received more donations from the troops then any other candidate. He served his country as a Flight Surgeon in the Air Force for 5 years. He voted against the war in Iraq, instead urged Congress to hunt down the terrorists responsible fo 9/11. Ron Paul will bring out troops home immediately to protect our national security and our borders here at home.

Ron Paul is a Christian with true Christian values. He is not like other Christians who are warmongers, who support illegal pre-emptive wars, torture, and the killing of hundreds of
thousand of innocent Iraqis. We owe nearly 10 trillion dollars, and continue to borrow money from China and others for this illegal war. We are virtually bankrupt.

RUDY got out, the first responders weren't allowed to get out. According to the firefighter's own audio, the fire was out when the buildings fell. So we know it wasn't fire that brought them down. The radios didn't work in '93 at the first attack. RUDY knew that, and did nothing for EIGHT YEARS!!! Molten steel was under WTC 1, 2, and 7. The only bulidings in the complex owned by Silverstein. Building 7 was NOT hit by a plane, and yet came down by fire. Only the third steel framed building in history (besides 1 and 2) to come down by fire damage. None of the other badly damaged buildings in the complex collapsed even after being showered with debris and fire from 1 and 2. All police and EMS fully evacuated, yet RUDY testified at the 911 hearings that the firefighters CHOSE to say behind and await certain death in order to preserve "calm." Government workers at ground zero were working in hazmat suits and had oxygen filters over their mouths. Everybody else got PAPER MASKS or NOTHING!!! More people have died from inhailing asbestos and pulverized concrete, than in the inital attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon COMIBINED!!! Rather than take time to recover the bodies of the fallen from the rubble, RUDY had them DUMPED IN A LANDFILL LIKE GARBAGE!!! And had all of the steel from the WTC shipped to be melted overseas! Rudy RAN, Rudy COVERED UP or MASSIVELY hindered a full investigation by destroying evidence of what happened on 911. RUDY is NOT a leader but IS a CRIMINAL COWARD!!! Do NOT reward this man for his choice to endanger and harm thousands of innocent civillians for his own personal gain!
