IT'S NOW A RUDY ROMP
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
Giuliani: Managing to assuage righty fears.
February 5, 2007
* A Fox News poll of Jan. 30-31 shows the former mayor jumping out to a significant lead among Republicans - 34 to 22 percent.
* A Gallup poll taken Jan. 25-28 shows Giuliani is better liked by Republicans than McCain -74 to 21 percent and more trusted to handle a crisis (68-20). Some 60 percent say Giuliani "better understands the problems of the average person," against 33 percent who pick McCain. By 58-34, America's Mayor is seen as the stronger leader.
Conversations with conservative activists also show a remarkable openness to supporting Giuliani - a belief that he can overcome (perhaps finesse) his pro-choice, pro-gun-control, pro-gay-rights and pro-immigration positions. Feelings seem bitterer over McCain's role in Washington battles - his opposition to the Bush tax cuts and his support for "amnesty" for illegal immigrants and for campaign-finance reform.
Giuliani has developed an effective parry to charges that his pro-choice stance would undo eight years of pro-life heavy lifting by the Bush administration. He's saying he'd oppose partial-birth abortion and work to continue to curtail Medicaid funding for abortion. More, he'd appoint judges like Justices Samuel Alito and John Roberts to the Supreme Court.

This is one of the more bizarre pieces of political analysis I've read. They're writing off Newt Gingrich, for example, because he's "stuck in the low teens," disregarding the fact that it is nearly two years before the election, and he
isn't even running for president at this time.
It is way too early to make any serious predictions.

RUDY GIULIANI 2008 - STRENGTH AND LEADERSHIP But the leadership is in the WRONG direction.
To: Mr. Brightside
I have to say that Obviously I want the Republican to win..but I would have a hard time voting McCain...I dislike him as much as I do Hagel. they have both been OPENLY disloyal to the president..sometimes seemingly just to be Contrarian (sp)...for those in Rio Linda ..just to be different and show they are Independent so the media would love them..
To: samtheman
I can not in good conscience ever vote for liberal like Rino Rudy.

That's your opinion. He's shown more leadership than any candidate running at this point in time.

Polls this far out are meaningless. In late 1-1999 the polls showed Libby Doles as having a commanding lead for the rep nomination.

To: Hydroshock
I'm going to stay positive and work for Hunter. If that feels, I'm going to be realistic and vote for Rudy to keep the IslamoDemocratic Party out of the WH.
To: areafiftyone
Rudy has shown a lot of leadership.
Leadership against gun rights. Leadership for abortion on demand. And leadership for "gay rights."
IMO, Rudy's leadership IS the problem.
To: Hydroshock
Well we will see. Maybe the poll numbers will change. But don't forget it's only a year and 1/2 until election.

Leadership against gun rights.That is my NUMBER ONE problem with him.
The social conservative issues are much farther down my list.
