Giuliani’s communications director tried to deflect criticism of the campaign’s strategy. Katie Levinson said that while Giuliani may not be competing as aggressively in the leadoff states, he remains focused on Florida, which votes Jan. 29, and Illinois and Missouri, which vote Feb. 5.
More important, absentee ballots already are available in those states
