crucial final weekend before the Iowa caucuses, rerouting money from
negative ads that had been slamming Donald Trump to hit Marco Rubio instead.
The last-minute change is a sign that, even as both the Rubio and Cruz
campaigns have publicly denied it, Rubio is increasingly a threat to Cruz in
the state. The shift to anti-Rubio ads was first reported by The New York
