Rasmussen Reports ^ | 14 February 2007 | Scott Rasmussen

[LtdGovt]

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) continues to hold a solid, double-digit, lead in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination. Giuliani attracts support from 32% of Likely Primary Voters, fourteen points more than the number two man in the race, Arizona Senator John McCain. This is the largest lead yet measured for Giuliani. A week ago, he was ahead 27% to 19%.

(((POLL PING))))

Thanks for the ping. I was just going to post this. I pinged the Rudy list.

[HaveHadEnough]

The point is, she didn't disparage him, her husband.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Newt served a wife divorce papers while she was in a hospital bed, while Rudy took his girlfriend out on the town in NYC while his wife and kids were at home.

Neither of these candidates gave a damn about their marriages and they made a mockery of their vows. This issue is not as easily dismissed as you suggest.

[My2Cents]

The more the merrier, but because of the time-compression of this presidential campaign (where things are heating up a year earlier than usual), he needs to jump in. Time's a-wasting.

[My2Cents]

Rudy and Newt have at least one thing in common. They are both on their third marriage.

And I hear that both might be claiming paternity of Anna Nicole Smith's baby.

[RockinRight]

Newt = Dark Horse

[HaveHadEnough]

They are all political prostitutes. But one can make distinctions with a difference within that set of animal.

[areafiftyone]

while Rudy took his girlfriend out on the town in NYC while his wife and kids were at home.

Link please to that? No proof he did that except for his ex-wife's (Ms. Vagina Monologue who now has a sex radio talk show) whiney crybaby press conference. She acted like she was the wronged wife when in fact she decided to take over Gracie Mansion for herself - use the police protection whenever she wanted and furthered her career while Rudy generously found somewhere else to stay so she could do what she wanted. Rudy had a wife who's only goal was to use his political power get her acting career started. She WAS NOT a wife to Rudy - didn't even go to his second inauguration for mayor - she was too busy with her acting/reporter career. I wouldn't believe that woman and most NYers didn't either. Most NYers thought she was a BEEEATCH!!

Mitt Romney doesn't have any marital problems, and Mitt does have that as a plus for him. I'm hoping that Rep. Duncan Hunter is able to eventually become a first tier candidate for the GOP. It's still early in the '08 Presidential race, and anything is still possible at this point.

Ted Olson's Endorsement yesterday....

The USA Today poll...

Now Rasmussen.

Standing room only crowds in CA.

It's been a VERY good week for Rudy.

[areafiftyone]

Yes it is. Also I heard more endorsements from CA are coming!

[Wormwood]

It's been a VERY good week for Rudy.

True enough. But is even Rudy enough to bring back all the people who have left the party since 2004? Or all the new moderate voters who have registered Democrat?

[GSlob]

Not quite. hillary is a totalitarian type [and coming from the thucking ussr, I claim personal experience in detecting those], while Rudy is not. This hillary has to be rejected absolutely, rejected for what it/she IS, regardless of what it/she DOES.

[Mia T]

Good going.
Newt is the only R extant with a lower Q score than hilllary.

Check out what the wonderful conservative warrior, R. Emmett Tyrrell has to say.

I hope and pray that Tyrrell is right, that all factions will come to their senses and unite in the end, around Rudy [or, I would add, whichever candidate gets the nod].

The 'logic' of those refusing to vote for Rudy:

Rudy is a too 'liberal' 'New Yorker' so they will place their de facto vote for missus clinton, a Stalinist New Yorker, albeit fake, (fake New Yorker, not fake Stalinist), who

• as one-half of the 'twofer,' is the proximate cause of 9/11,
  
• is an abuser of women in her own right,
  
• is avidly pro-abortion,
  
• would nominate justices in the mold of Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
  
• would resume clinton sale of our nuclear secrets and mineral rights to the enemy,
  
• would sic the IRS and the clinton 'secret police' on all opponents and critics,
  
• would nationalize healthcare,
  
• would decimate the military,
  
• would reinstitute the clinton policy of ignoring of terrorism,
  
• would raise taxes...
  
• even as she and her rapist husband rake in millions in quid pro quos for their slush fund foundation,
  
• would confiscate profits, end capitalism, if she could, etc., etc.

 

 

It does the conservative cause no good to become petulant and self-destructive.

Do conservatives really want

• a Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court instead of an Alito, Roberts or Scalia?
  
• marginalization, if not worse, of their religious beliefs?
  
• a return to the amorality, immorality and corruption of the clinton years?
  
• and G-d knows what depth of failure in the War on Terror?

I find it hard to believe that those people aren't able to discern the difference between Giuliani and clinton. Frankly, if true, it is frightening.

goto:

STALINIST RISING?
HILLARY CLINTON ABUSE OF POWER
(WHERE IS THE UNREDACTED BARRETT REPORT ANYWAY?)

I am advocating for Giuliani not because of his ideology. I am advocating for him because I believe he possesses the qualities that this country desperately needs in these perilous times... and because I believe he, unlike all of the others, will actually win.

The other night, I heard a man who is not perfect, but a man of rare intelligence, humility, warmth, competence, strength and leadership.

We will be fortunate, indeed, and our babies, born and unborn, living and not yet imagined, will be infinitely safer, if he is our next president.

But for 9/11, Rudy's marital troubles at the time were sending him way, way down into the political trashcan. He was seen as a distant and uncaring father and husband. His negatives were seriously climbing, even for him. He was out and about with his girlfriend all over the place.

Then came 9/11 and he got back on track with showing how a man can stand by his mate, in this case, the City. He was looked upon as someone who would go anywhere and do anything to help those in need and to comfort the sick and the families of the dead.

9/11 saved him, and his presidential ambitions would not be given any credence but for that tragic and sick event (talk about a Phoenix).

[Theophilus]

Sanford's great!

until then:

We need every American we can make.
Nothing can make Americans safer than to stop aborting them...

[achilles2000]

Sanford won't - don't ask why - he just won't. Perhaps in the next cycle..

[Courdeleon02]

Why no McCain? His conservative credentials and voting record are far more conservative than Rudy.He is pro-life, supports the war effort and opposes big government spending programs.

[JulieRNR21]

More good news!....thanks for the ping
