The announcement by McCain, who has put together campaign organizations in many of the states with early nominating contests, was widely expected. The intentions of Giuliani, who has been less active in early organizing, had been less clear.
Giuliani's campaign team said the committee was simply an opening move designed to keep his options open, with a final decision still to come.
"This filing affords him the opportunity to raise money and put together an organization to assist him in making his decision," Giuliani adviser Anthony Carbonetti said.

You've been conned again, the argument was "gathering storm" in a post 9/11 world.
The argument was WMDs.
Habalja. 30,000 dead men, women and children from, you guessed it, WMD's. He had them for sure, where they went we'll never know but we do know this Bandita, he had the technical know how to construct and disseminate WMD.
The argument was ties to Al Quaeda - all debunked, and admitted to by the administration itself.
Abu Abbas, dead in Baghdad. Abu Nidal, dead in Baghdad. Usay, dead. Qusay, dead. Zarqawi, dead. What do all these fellows have in common? All terrorists, all hated America and some directly responsible for the death of your fellow citizens. Leon Klinghoffer ring any bells?
Bad guys are bad guys. But if you're going to go to war with a country because its dictator is a bad guy, say so. I suspect the American people would have had less of a stomach for that, never mind the fact that the world is bursting with bad guys who, according to your logic, we should be removing.
We should remove as many as feasible. Mass murderers with the knowhow to build and transport WMD who have an affinity for giving santuary to the worst of the worst should be on the top of list.
I hope MHGinTN doesn't mind me barging in on a question directed to them, but Rudy's position on partial birth (or late term either) will prevent any support from me. BTW- I am not a member of the "Religious Right". One does not have to be a "Bible Thumper" to believe that at some point in the development of a fetus, one crosses a threshold that makes its destruction, murder...
Good catch!
No, it hasn't. The deficit may have been, but the debt has been inexorably climbing ever since 2000.
LOL
Ever read the Constitution?
Then don't have one. Teach your children not to have them. I don't believe what you say. I don't see it that way. I am beyond being taught by you - attend to yourself and your own family and we'll all be fine.
90-day fetus = not a person to me. Sorry.
They don't teach the Constitution in public schools anymore.
I've gotten the idea from the pro-choicers/abortionists that it is indeed a life when conceived, but it's a beech tree or some such thing until the very second it emerges from the womb.
So women who can't get pregnant are unqualified to have an opinion?
Nice.
Oyvey. I'm a practicing Catholic Bandita. I'm also pro life, pro death penalty in certain cases and a an Army veteran. Catholic dogma does not demand that one be anti death penalty but it does demand that we protect innocent human life as best we can.
Or as Aquinas said, and I parphrase, not protecting ones life or the life of the innocent by force is in itself a sin.
And it ISN'T good. It is the death force behind associated evils including unresttriced abortion and gay marriage.
It isn't working. It is killing us.
None whatsoever. Because theirs is a headgame, and had the Republicans stayed in power they would have cheered that. They're playing you and our media if you buy that it should in ANY way give someone pause.
She claims to be a "moderate" but is just repeating all the left-wing talking points.
If you said that you would make it a centerpiece of your political life to impose your beliefs on me, yes. I would disqualify you.
If you said that you believed as you do but acknowledged that not everyone believes as you do and that no one has an indisputable answer, no. I would not disqualify you.
I hear you.
I might not have given the embryonic stem-cell debate so many thoughts, that is until I lost two babies before the sixth week. And believe me, the thought of LIFE being used as fodder for laureate-wannabes just makes me sick.
Then show her(?) why the left wing talking points are wrong. Maybe you'll even persuade her and others...
I was about to deconstruct that, but I could not improve on your effort.
Where were all you "moderates" back in the 90's when we were bombing Serbia back to the stone age (and killing thousands of civilians in the process). What exactly was the national security rationale for removing Milsoevic?
