Rudy Giuliani Throws Hat Into 2008 Presidential Ring

Post Chronicle ^ | 2/1/07

According to a source close to The Giuliani campaign, Rudy Giuliani is throwing his hat into the ring.  The Hinzsight Report confirms, through a source close to the Giuliani campaign, that he is presently sending people out into all 50 states to secure his name on the primary ballots.

"Despite Mayor Giuliani's public cautiousness, this is evidence that he is seriously pursuing the Presidency in 2008, and he should be taken very seriously. 

Critical state polls have shown Mayor Giuliani leading the pack, and it's about time that he start being considered what he is--the front-runner" a source tells The Hinzsight Report.

Giuliani has lined up nearly 300 key Republican supporters in New Jersey for his bid for the 2008 presidential nomination, his campaign announced this week.

In a recent Quinnipiac University poll of New Jersey voters, it showed Giuliani leading all Republican presidential candidates and ahead of Sen. Hillary Clinton, the leading Democratic contender, in a head-to-head matchup.

The New Jersey primary, which is currently set for Feb. 26, is likely to move up to Feb. 5, placing it early in the campaign season and increasing its significance.  As many as 15 states could hold their Republican presidential primaries Feb. 5, reports Gannett.

Thanks.
The price to be paid if hillary get is in is way too high to pay. Anyone who compares her to Rudy is sadly mistaken IMHO.

If it is the wish for the Republican Party to drive the Religious Right away, they will have a 100% Republican Party that will exclude them, that's all. Try to win an election that way.

If NJ goes republican, it's because said republican is a liberal, and then, really, what good is the win?

Have you seen the breakdown of the Senate re: Ds and Rs?

If you have and can still ask that question, you're a completely vacuous poster.

[rodguy911]

What was Rudy's platform in 1951--I'm just dying to Know!

[Howlin]

*Smooch*

[Carolinamom]

While many here have their druthers for one potential candidate or another, once the primaries are over and the Rep. Party's candidate emerges, we had better ALL vote Republican or there will be "Hell to Pay" w/a Hillary or any Dem candidate win.

Let's start looking at the positives in each Republican candidate. (There are NONE to find in Hillary, Obama, Biden, Edwards, Dodd, Kuchinich, Sharpton, etc.)

And in a nice shade of Mauve, come on H, you can do better, but you know I like the humor defense!

[rodguy911]

Sounds like you might be a hillary supporter.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Good morning to you, too, miss sunshine!

My, aren't we just so pleasant today! I really appreciate your input today.

[Howlin]

Are you a conservative?

He's an American.

[Hydroshock]

Ther are conservative running and I am supporting one and prepared to suport others if he does not win. I will not support in anyway Rudy McRomney.

[Howlin]

Well, why not; you want me to be lockstep.

It's your turn. :-)

[carton253]

Why do I feel like I am being set up? LOL!

Yes, I am a conservative. That is why I have consistently said that I will work for Duncan Hunter.

But...if Hunter cannot overcome, then I will vote for the republican nominee if it is Rudy, Romney, Newt, or McCain.

Why? Because I cannot turn this country over to the likes of the dems that are running. Too much is at stake.

[Fierce Allegiance]

How would that be accomplished?

[TommyDale]

"Every candidate is going to be a wedge candidate for some of the people on this forum; they demand it."

True, but no other candidate has so many wedge issues as Rudy: Abortion, Partial Birth Abortion, Gun Control, Homosexual Agenda, Stem Cell Research, Amnesty for Illegal Border Invaders... That is a lot to overcome, and I didn't even include personal baggage.

I cannot see it happening. He could very well win the nomination, but with those heavy issues hanging over his head, how could he possibly think he will pull enough GOP support?

Just look at how close 2000 and 2004 were, and those INCLUDED the Religious Right voters.

(((STOP GIULIANI 2008 PRIMARY PING!)))

Freepmail me to be added or removed.

Well we all knew this was coming. Robert Novak pretty much confirmed it a long time ago. Time for all conservatives to unite behind somebody in the republican primary, be it Tancredo, Hunter or Gingrich or hell even maybe Romney to stop the crazy one (McCain) and the leftist crossdresser (Giuliani) from ever darkening the door of the great White House.

I REFUSE to vote for Giuliani. I live in the safe republican state of Georgia, perhaps the current most conservative state (the only state in 2006 where republicans gained, first republican Lt. Governor and first republican secretary of state election, Perdue, who became the first republican governor since the war between the states in 2002 won reelection by like 20 percentage points and the republicans held the same in the state senate while gaining six seats in the state house) and I have no problem voting for Jim Gilchrist, the likely constitution party nominee, if the republicans nominate some leftist like Giuliani or Hagel. If I lived in Ohio or Pennsylvania, I almost certainly wouldn't do that, but Georgia is a lock of whoever the republicans nominate.

Don't let early polls fool you, Romney, Hunter and especially Gingrich if he gets in it can easily overthrow the crossdresser.

[Hydroshock]

On average 1000000 abortions occure every years since Row v Wade. Do the math. 1000000/12 = 83333.

[Spiff]

Oh, I know! There are a few Freepers around here who are like lightning rods for crappy candidates. If you see them supporting somebody you can rest assured its a loser.

Translation: FReepers who support conservative candidates are losers. Conservative candidates are crappy. Therefore, conservative are crappy losers.

Why don't you stick your conservative bashing crap where the sun don't shine!

In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.

[Howlin]

If these Liberal Republican supporters get their way

Well, if you locksteppers get yours, we'll have Democrats ruling the country for two more decades.

And just because somebody doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they are liberal. That's a stupid liberal tactic you're using there.

[varina davis]

The thing is, I really can't recall ANY GOP nominee when the social conservatives weren't predicted to "stay home" and not vote. Obviously, most of them have an 11th hour change of heart.

I have some reservations about Rudi, but he's sharp, tough and a heck of a speaker. If he can beat hillary, et al, well, 'nough said.
