In a move to increase its relevance in the presidential selection process, the Golden State is set to jump up its primary from June of 2008 to February 5th, less than a year away.
This may benefit New York's presidential aspirants, and especially its Republican one.
Last week I noted Giuliani's electric support at the California Republican Party convention. A recent poll has resoundingly brought forth the same message. This morning, the Wall Street Journal's John Fund notes the following numbers:
With California moving its presidential primary to Feb. 5 of next year, what Golden State voters think about White House politics has actually begun to matter. A new poll of likely primary voters by San Diego-based Datamar, Inc. shows the two current frontrunners to be Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani. The poll shows Ms. Clinton with 34% of the vote, leading Barack Obama's 24% and John Edwards' 16%. Given Ms. Clinton's enormous name ID advantage, her lead is not compelling. On the GOP side, pundits were startled to see former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani with 41% support, John McCain with only 17% and Mitt Romney trailing with 11%.
It is early, and a great deal can happen in a year, but those are stunning numbers for the former Mayor. If present trends in California continue, the Golden State's primary move may just be Giuliani's golden ticket to the nomination.

And I'm certain that the lurkers here know full well what's happened to FR
The true liberals are exposing themselves.
You were invited by the forum owner to go ahead and admit it, have you yet?

All He Needs is 13 States!
What will happen in the general when the regular red state types aren't interested in a liberal New Yorker.
Are do they matter?
To: Lakeshark
I think the idea that he can't win the general election you put forward is not any where near correct.
Its hard enough to get people to vote. Got to give them a reason. Maybe you don't realize how important abortion and gun rights are to exciting the masses.
I think most FR types do vote and will very possibly vote for whoever wins the primary, but what will bring out the rest.
To: areafiftyone
I agree with you there. I have mastered the 'office' products pretty well, but HTML is just weird, its like learning to stand in am awkward position to hit a golf ball, oh yeah I don't like golf either! :)
To: nopardons

To: nopardons
The fact that YOU and your ilk has to LIE about Rudy ( the MSM hates him, BTW )That's why Time Magazine named him Man of the Year.

Are Democrats pushing for gun control now that they have control of Congress? No.They most certainly ARE. Do a FR keyword search for "banglist".

But if he get to be President I can't get my machine gun. I really need one too. The 2nd Amendment isn't based on "need".

Just one of a thousand ways that Duncan Hunter beats the other candidates in the field, hands down. You may want to elaborate on the first one again.......
And then highlight the other two.

The whole constitution is based on needs. Try again.
