As Mayor Giuliani looks over the acres of gleaming tractors, mammoth cotton harvesters, and hightech cow milking equipment at a fair in California's vast agricultural heartland tomorrow morning, he will surely feel like he's a long way from Manhattan.
The prospect of a visit from the man billed as America's mayor already has local folks in California's central valley atwitter. "Honestly, this is probably the biggest name we've had," the chairman of the World Ag Expo in Tulare, Calif., Bruce Shannon, said yesterday.
Mr. Shannon allowed that Mr. Giuliani had "probably not run into a lot of combines and tractors" on the streets of Manhattan, but the organizer said the former New York mayor's reputation precedes him. "Rudy's very popular here," Mr. Shannon said.
In the coming year, these kinds of rural visits and forays to California's sprawling cities could become commonplace for Mr. Giuliani; the Golden State is poised to become a linchpin of his strategy for winning the Republican nomination for president.
One of the key factors pushing California to the fore of Mr. Giuliani's agenda is Governor Schwarzenegger's plan to move the state's presidential primaries up to February 5 from the current date in June.
"I think it will have a big impact," Mr. Giuliani said Saturday after addressing a state party convention in Sacramento. "You're going to have to spend a lot of time here. That's not so hard," he joked.

Now that you mention it. :)
"Wow, only one anti-Rudy post so far on this thread? The Rudy haters are slipping".
Who's that man in drag with Rudy?
They've GOT to be HIGH to get excited about seeing and meeting a liberal RINO from nyc!
Then again, many of them were stupid enough to vote for the RINO-nator.
I don't know about "disTain" (although dis RINO WILL be a stain on the Republican party), but we TRUE CONSERVATIVES DO show RINO-rudy disDain, because he is a nyc LIBERAL.
That explains allot.
rudy is a LIBERAL DEMONRAT in Republican clothing, and thus...
A traitor to his NAMED party.
Are you trying to persuade people to support YOUR candidate, or are you merely sowing little seeds of ill-will and division?
Let's support a TRUE CONSERVATIVE for Republican candidate for POTUS.
However, when Republicans are told in the context of the survey that Giuliani supports same-sex civil unions and holds a pro-choice position on abortion, the net effect on their expressed chances of backing him is negative. Knowing his social views, more than 4 in 10 Republicans indicate a reduced willingness to support Giuliani. Twenty-five percent say they would be less willing to vote for him, and 18% say they would rule out voting for him entirely.
That, and "reasonable"...
ONLY TWO words out of the liberal demonRAT playbook, and a favorite, I might add, of RINO-rudy's fellow gun-grabber, sarah brady.
Both of these scumbags LOVE ever-increasing, Draconian gun-control, that is, of course, "sensible and reasonable" (in THEIR minds at least).
Actually, I THOUGHT it might be sarah brady, since she and gun-grabbing liberal RINO rudy have so much in common.
All's fair in love, war, and politics, so we are doing whatever we can (including, but not limited to, biting wit and satire) to shutdown the left-wing media/liberal push-polling-pollster driven machine that's out there CONSTANTLY harping on getting either a demonRAT, OR a liberal RINO elected.
If you are gettting sucked into supporting a liberal RINO, you are either a demonRAT or liberal RINO yourself, or perhaps severely misguided, stupid, or ignorant.
It was Governor Ronald Reagan of California who signed the Mulford Act in 1967, "prohibiting the carrying of firearms on one's person or in a vehicle, in any public place or on any public street." The law was aimed at stopping the Black Panthers, but affected all gun owners.
Twenty-four years later, Reagan was still pushing gun control. "I support the Brady Bill," he said in a March 28, 1991 speech, "and I urge the Congress to enact it without further delay."

All farmers, yes. Rural folks.
All people from California are terrible. All of us.
The difference between him and RINO-rudy, is that Reagan was conservative on MOST of the issues (RINO-rudy is the EXACT opposite, being LIBERAL on MOST of the issues), and Reagan was NOT a rabid, inner-city, northeastern-corridor serial GUN-GRABBER like RINO-rudy.
