"initial" data are showed in an UNBOUND form. If the form is bound, it
shows the data you bound it to. This is clearly stated in the
documentation - I assume you mistyped here.

For an unbound form, it works for me:
"""
$ cat forms.py
from django import newforms as forms
class SearchForm (forms.Form):
campaign = forms.ChoiceField(required=False,choices
=(('choice1','Choice1'),('choice2','Choice 2')), initial = 'choice2' )
sf = SearchForm()
print sf
$ python forms.py
<tr><th><label for="id_campaign">Campaign:</label></th><td><select
name="campaign" id="id_campaign">
<option value="choice1">Choice1</option>
<option value="choice2" selected="selected">Choice 2</option>
</select></td></tr>
"""
Can you please
a) Confirm that the above works for you
b) Post a self-contained example which shows your problem
