Giuliani Nabs Key Endorsement

"Rudy Giuliani, fresh off a weekend visit to California, is set to nab the support of one of the Golden State’s most influential lawmakers as sources confirmed that" Rep. David Dreier (R-CA) "is expected to endorse the former New York mayor’s 2008 GOP presidential bid," according to Roll Call.

"Dreier, the ranking member on the Rules Committee, is chairman of the state’s GOP delegation and his extensive ties to California’s lucrative business community make him one of his party’s leading fundraisers. He also is extremely close to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R)."

If Newt's gonna run, I wish he'd just declare already.

Unless he's hoping to snag a VP slot.

McCain's is about that too, but that last 8 - 10% can be a doozy.

Don't LIE. What does Drier's endorsement have to do with the Liberal Media?

Gingrick won't run nor will Rice. What are you proposing the ticket of the UnWilling?

Yes SDGOP was just busting my chops. SDGOP is really IS on the Rudy bandwagon. Just be glad SDGOP didn't post the picture of McCain on the toilet. YUCK! I often get that when it's about lunch time! LOL!

McCain is 83, actually.

92 is the same rating as Duncan Hunter. ;)

Please ping me when Rudy gets endorsed by a non-politico, non-beltway-insider. Please ping me when he actually picks up the endorsement of the NRA, GOA or the JPFO. Until then I'm not interested.

It isn't that I'm a one issue voter. I'm not, and the 2nd Amendment isn't even my top issue. It's that I'm sick of these Northeastern Liberals cramming their nanny-state down my throat like I'm a rube that's too stupid to understand that they're doing it for my own good.

The Bill of Rights is important and even while we have had it we have had usurpations of our rights by the Government - look at New Orleans after Hurrican Katrina! Ask Rudy for me what his stance is on Mayor Nagin's seizure of the legally owned weapons from the citizens of NOLA. When he gives you an answer please ping me.

Regards,

TS

That Political Wire is some website. I noticed they have this today too..

February 13, 2007
Giuliani's 1993 "Vulnerability Study"

The Smoking Gun publishes excerpts from a "vulnerability study" commissioned by Rudy Giuliani's 1993 mayoral campaign. "The confidential 450-page report, authored by Giuliani's research director and another aide, was the campaign's attempt to identify possible lines of attack against Giuliani and prepare the candidate and his staff to counter 'the kinds of no-holes-barred assault' expected in a general election rematch with Democratic incumbent David Dinkins."

Among the more interesting observations:

Giuliani ordered copies of the study destroyed shortly after it was circulated to top campaign aides. but obviously at least one copied remained.
Oops, what's that I see again?
Giuliani has no "core convictions" and traveled across the political spectrum from McGovern Democrat to Reagan Republican.

Giuliani avoided military service during the Vietnam War with the help of "a friendly judge".

WOW, what 'strength & leadership'!
The mutt has NO core convictions and WEASELED out of VIETNAM!

Just what we freaking need - NOT!

(((( ping ))))

I suppose this might be a key endorsement if you are seeking the homosexual vote. But then, we are talking about California.

It is very impolite to use language like that here. What is it I said that you factually know to be a incorrect? I expressed my opinion. Do you understand the difference? Come back when you get out of grade school.

Giuliani/Kyl

Giuliani/Sessions

Either way Rudy would need someone from the south or west. BTW, I've been saying Rudy and Jeff for close to a couple of years now. Kyl and Sessions are pretty close from what I've seen.

Will we now be seeing the trashing of anyone who comes out and endorses Giuliani?

What was your first clue?

Yea being exposed by Larry Flint is real proof that he's gay. Larry Flint has been trying to get the goods on George Bush for years about him having an affair. No such luck Larry! Jeeze we really are worried about what that SLIME SAY??
