SACRAMENTO — Presumed Republican presidential candidate Rudolph W. Giuliani is seeking to broaden his fundraising base beyond Wall Street, aggressively prospecting in California with stops at a country club here and homes in Orange County and Del Mar in coming days.

A review of donors to the former New York mayor's presidential exploratory committee and to a political action committee he controls shows that his main contributors have been blue-chip law firms, investment houses and financial services companies in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Those states account for three-fourths of the money he has raised. But in making his second California trip in as many weeks, Giuliani is seeking to tap into the Republicans who hope to hang onto the White House in 2008. The success of Giuliani's efforts won't be known until he files his campaign finance statement in April.

((((((PING-A-RUDY))))

Whilst in California he may want to stop in at the Reagan Ranch/Center and get acquainted with what a great President stood for.

Thanks for the ping! Cannot wait until we see the April report. I want to see how much the dinner in Houston thrown by T. Boone Pickes, Tom Ricks, and several others brought in because that is now getting into Texas money especially oil as well.

Business community supports Rudy which bodes well for America.

Rudy is a good man, and would be formidable in the War on Terror.

His no-nonsense approach to NYC crime and decay drove Libs nuts, and of course was a stunning success.

You've got my vote, Rudy!

[James Ewell Brown Stuart]

It only took four posts before he was dogged. The Rudy detractors are getting faster.

[Hydroshock]

I can not ever vote for this liberal rino.

Rudy Already Knows

[areafiftyone]

Thanks for pinging me. I got the pinger ready! LOL!

[Hydroshock]

He sure does not act like it. He acts more like Clinton then Reagan.

[jla]

Reagan shook hands with a lot of people, Americans, foreigners, conservatives and communists. Not all of them 'got it'.

A photo does not, a conservative make.

[CobaltBlue]

If you look at Reagan's face, in the photo where he's shaking Rudy's hand, his smile is genuine, in the photo where he's shaking Clinton's hand, his smile is pasted on.

To determine whether a smile is genuine, look at the corners of the eyes.

In a genuine smile, the corners of the eyes crinkle, and in a fake smile, they don't.

Conclusion, Reagan liked Rudy, did not like Clinton.

Funny picture. Reminds me of liesure suit larry. Do you have the date that this was taken?

[Corin Stormhands]

Well, ~that's~ good.

Conclusion, Reagan liked Rudy, did not like Clinton.

Further conclusion:

Shaking the hand of a great conservative changed neither Giuliani, nor is it validation of anything (as the post above purports).

Both Giuliani and Clinton are baby-killing, homo-loving, gun grabbing liberals.

[areafiftyone]

ROFLMAO! Probably when Rudy first started working in the Reagan Administration. I'll try to find out. I know that suit is awful!

[palmer]

The Rudy detractors are getting faster.

Or the Rudy butt kissers are getting slower.

Giuliani WORKED FOR REAGAN!! I guess Reagan wanted a baby-killing, homo-loving, gun grabbing liberal working in his administration!
