Rudy Giuliani Throws Hat Into 2008 Presidential Ring
Post Chronicle ^ | 2/1/07

Posted on 02/01/2007 5:41:39 AM PST by areafiftyone

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.

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.

I'm convinced that you have a Notepad file somewhere with anti-Rudy sentences lined up, and you just copy and paste at leisure. And why not, it beats actually thinking doesn't it?

That really killed us in Ohio last year. We had a VERY conservative candidate for Governor and he got creamed by over 20%. The idea that just running a very conservative candidate will mean victory is hopelessly naive.

So, your answer is to run a very liberal one - like Rudy?

I don't think you can blame Blackwell's loss on conservatism. He got creamed because of Bob Taft and Bob Taft alone. No Republican was going to undo that damage.

So don't vote for Rudy in the primaries then. Why is this so hard for you Rudy bashers to understand? You are not going to convince those who do support Rudy here otherwise.

They don't want to be "taught." They love being miserable and making everybody else miserable, too.

But they don't want to vote for him AND they don't want anybody else to vote for him either!

Let's put it in some context - George Bush Sr. appointed David Souter, who was and is squishy in the extreme.

Heck, I'll do ya one better. Ronald Reagan appointed Sandra Day O'Conner.

Let's put it in some context - George Bush Sr. appointed David Souter, who was and is squishy in the extreme. No one, no one sane anyway, is saying that his re-election in 1992 wouldn't have been better for the world than the election of Bill Clinton.

Giuliani considered that Clinton's re-election would be better than electing Dole in 1996. But he decided to stick with them who brung him and endorse the Republican candidate. This, despite his statement that the country would be in goods hands with either Clinton or Dole:

"most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." The Daily News quoted [Giuliani] as saying that March: "Whether you talk about President Clinton, Senator Dole.... The country would be in very good hands in the hands of any of that group."

He said this even after 4 years of Bill Clinton in the White House. He said it 3 years after Bill Clinton appointed Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court. So, your argument falls flat.

Your original post:

Maybe it won't be Gingrich, Hunter or Tancredo who conservatives back in the end. But it definitely won't be Rudy Giuliani.

Your second post:

During the Cal recall campaign, Jim was backing Tom McClintock, not Arnold. 1-2 days before the election he announced he would be voting for Arnold. Here we are with 22 months to go and Jim is speaking out loudly

Your second post disproves the first. JimRob started out backing McClintock and switched late for good reasons. YOU said that "in the end" conservatives DEFINITELY won't support Giuliani. I called you out for speaking for conservatives, and you replied you were speaking for yourself.

I am not so presumptuous as to make blanket statements on who anybody will support in November 2008, or in the primaries, and I don't buy the argument that conservatives won't vote for Rudy. Some will. In fact, and it pains me to say this, some will vote for Barack Obama because he looks good or he has a deep voice or because it would be (as Dirty Harry put it in "The Enforcer") "Very Stylish" to vote for a black candidate. Not every voter out there - conservative or otherwise - is always motivated by a particular agenda. It's just not that simple.
