Rudy Giuliani remains the most popular presidential hopeful for Republican Party sympathizers in the United States, according to a poll by Opinion Dynamics released by Fox News. 30 per cent of respondents would vote for the former New York City mayor in a 2008 primary.
Arizona senator John McCain is second with 23 per cent, followed by former House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich with nine per cent, and Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney with eight per cent. Support is lower for Kansas senator Sam Brownback, New York governor George Pataki, and California congressman Duncan Hunter.

I agree with you completely on this. Despite what some posters around here would like to convince us (operatives?), Giuliani is no Arnold. Most importantly, Rudy has said he will appoint the same kind of judges as Dubya.
WIA, have you ever found anything, quotes etc, that says specifically what he plans to do about the illegals that are already here? He says he doesn't want amnesty (they ALL say that, lol), will he go with something along Tancredo's lines of attrition?
With Rudy as candidate, NY is in play, California is in play, as are NJ and Connecticut. A very different political map from the one we are used to since 2000.
Rudy has already told us about his judicial philosophy and the kind of SCOTUS judges he would appoint. Justices like Scalia, Roberts, and Alito.
Hillary got exactly 66.6% in NY. She got less actual votes than she did 6 years ago. She underpolled Eliot Spitzer (71%) and Chuck Schumer (73%).

If trash Rudy you must, can't you at least post something original instead of cutting and pasting the same old shiite every single time?
Hmmm. No, I'll check it out though.
PROTECTING THE BORDER
Congressman Hunter believes in providing and maintaining strong border enforcement for America. Duncan Hunter’s border initiatives include:
* 700 miles of fencing and infrastructure - by law - across Arizona, New Mexico and Texas
* Hiring of thousands of new Border Patrol Agents
* Increased funding for new facilities and vehicles for U.S. Border Patrol
* Increased lighting and surveillance equipment along the border
* The Double Fence Pilot Project, extremely successful in cutting drive through drug smuggling
* Strict enforcement of our nation’s current immigration laws
* Opposing efforts to provide amnesty or state-issued drivers’ licenses to illegal immigrants
* Introduced the True Enforcement and Border Security Act of 2005 that creates a border security zone along the entire southern border of the U.S. This bill will incorporate fencing, roads and technology to secure our border from illegal crossings and will increase the number of Border Patrol agents by 8000 over the next 6 years
* Co-sponsored and supported the passage of the REAL ID ACT. This legislation enacted nationwide standards for the issuance of state driver’s licenses and provided the Secretary of Homeland Security with the authority to complete the remaining 3.5 miles of the San Diego border fence
* Co-sponsored the Secure Fence Act of 2006 that requires border security fencing be erected in several specific locations along America’s land border with Mexico
Seems like he's mainly focused on border security and comprehensive ENFORCEMENT. So long as it's a plan for attrition, no jobs, no bennies, none whatsoever...have you ever heard him mention or acknowledge that what's behind all this is the NAU/SPP?
Not that I recall. I'm not surprised if he's afraid to speak of it, look what is done to others who dare talk about it.
