(CBS) NEW YORK -- After all the hinting hemming and hawing about whether they are really in the race Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani left no doubt in the minds of voters that they are serious about a presidential run in 2008.
"As a republican and I'm very, very optimistic that we're gonna turn this around and that we're gonna turn it around very, very quickly. Meaning this year, in time for 2008," said Giuliani-R , Former NYC Mayor at an engagement in New Hampshire.
And Senator Clinton confirmed her White House intentions in Iowa with her newly innovated slogan "I'm in it to win it."
"They're both in the race. Hillary has a much bigger organization set up. She's been raising money nationally longer," said political analyst Joseph Mercurio, about the man who was nicknamed America's Mayor after 9/11 and the senator who would be returning to the White House this time in the top job. "He's got a tremendous amount of name recognition nationally. He needs to set up a national organization before he's fully plunged into the race. But, undoubtedly he's running just as well as she is," he said.
So, what happens if it shakes out to be a Hillary versus Rudy battle for the white house in 08?
Mercurio says, "it would obviously good if one or the other of them won for New York City or the state how that plays in the rest of the country whether the New York image is a drag or not is a whole other conversation."
Well, you could always sit and think of reasons to support Hunter :-) or how you could help him raise money :-)
Howdy :O)
Kind of like the Rudy apologists are doing to defend him....lol
Probably :-)
Social issues belong in the states.
So then, abortion is no problem in your world. Good!
Yeah, I call it trashing. Do you feel that you are changing any minds with your trashing? :-)
I would expect people to be on a thread of someone they like. What do you hope to accomplish with your trashing?
Cite one instance of me 'trashing', ok? Trashing is an unwarranted, inappropriate, slanderous, false or untrue statement of fact. I just comment on the facts. You must have lots of examples of me 'trashing'. Just name one!!...lol Just one., ok?
Wait a second - first answer this. Didn't you just say - I could call it trashing if I wanted?
No, it's not a problem in my world, but that's the part that I have control over. My question to you is, Why are you so cavalier about babies being murdered?
Two things I can do are to not vote for baby killing politicians and pray for the hearts and minds of my fellow Americans.
Sure, you called it 'trashing'. Now just name ONE EXAMPLE!! You must have lots! Since when is debating facts 'trashing'? Just one example of 'trashing', please!
As I said,,,facts. No trashing there,,,just facts!!! Sorry if the truth hurts!...lol
I guess I need to reword the question. If abortion is such an important issue to you - that you won't consider anyone who is not pro-life - how do you feel the mmovement is doing? Do you see any success from your efforts? Do you believe that if you just keep on refusing to vote for anyone who is pro- choice - that one day there will be no more abortions? How do you feel your strategy is working in the bigger picture?
Well? Still waiting here for examples of me 'trashing' Rudy!!!
So I ask again - what do you think you are accomplishing with your trashing remarks? Do you think you are changing minds? Have you looked to see how few people have viewed this thread?
So what do you think your trashing is accomplishing?
The 'facts' speak for themselves. (shaking head) I won't waste any time explaining a statement of fact THAT clear, THAT succent and THAT obvious!!...lol Again, I understand the truth can ruffle some feathers. Have a nice night.
