With 71 of 75 precincts reporting, Giuliani had garnered 123 votes. California Rep. Duncan Hunter was running in second place, with 110 votes, and Arizona Sen. John McCain at 86 votes, according to county GOP officials.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney had 59 votes, Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback had 68 votes and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee rounded out the front-runners, with 18 votes.

McCain is mentally unbalanced.

So don't support Rudy. It's a free country.

You have convinced me. I won't.

"if you have any evidence, show it. If not, shaddup."

I don't think that I'm allowed to on this website, i have been warned not to privately in the forum and in a private message thing. sorry.

If you want the info look it up yourself.

And as long as that middle includes strong national defense and fiscal conservatism, a lot of us won't be displeased by that.

Strong on national defense..you mean, like this gem?

And even as we grieve for the families and our hearts and prayers go out to them, perhaps we can use this senseless tragedy to re-energize the fight for gun control."

That's really steaming some people off.

McCain authored the McCain Feingold anti-free speech "campaign reform". He also organized the gang of 14, which torpedoed the Constitutional Opion on the judges. And he also cares more about the terrorists than the American people -- he authored and pushed through the "terrorist protection bill" giving the terrorists US Constitutional rights and not even allowing "degrading" treatment -- no panties on the heads of terrorists, better to have the US be nuked.

How can anyone support McCain -- that's my question.

Hey, it's OK, huh? I remember when I was a pup here,, drove folks wild with Simon and then mcClintock postings..

at least they had some conservative credentials ... ;-)

[Peach]

You're right about that -- Mitt has taken every position possible about gay marriage, I think. He's either getting bad advice or he's wishy washy and either one shows a lack of judgment.

[Howlin]

I was surprised by that as well; I mean, don't you have to WIN some supporters before you trash your opponent? :-)

[Peach]

I think that was good advice.

You are wise beyond your ears, grasshopper. :-)

Your guy is still ridin high. Congrats.

[Howlin]

LOL......sometimes I feel like telling them "Hey, somebody on that thread just said something nice about Mitt/Rudy/McCain, get your butt over there and refute it!"

Considering the threats to stay home last November that social conservatives made on this forum alone, why in the world would Republicans of any stripe depend on them for the vote?

After the November debacle, the handwriting was on the wall that the GOP was moving to the middle. And as long as that middle includes strong national defense and fiscal conservatism, a lot of us won't be displeased by that.

Yeah, November was a wake-up call. And if the purists on FR are an indicator - they are not a reliable vote and so they need to be written off. But I think beyond that - the middle holds the power right now - because of the times we are in. So I think that those who pay attention to where the moderates and independents are in the next year - are going to do better. It's not always like this - but it is right now, imo.

Oh, the poster who is so proud of calling Rudy supporters treasonous liberals is here.

Thanks for sending more voters Rudy's way. We thank you.

One could only imagine the gun control a President Giuliani could re-energize in the wake of a gun-related terrorist attack.

[BonnieJ]

I don't see where Guiliani's position on gay marriage/gay unions etc differs from Pres. Bush's.

[NinoFan]

Pissant,

Good news tonight, huh? :)

[SoCalPol]

Neewbee, I have seen your prior hit pieces.
You might want to rejoin your DU friends.

[airborne]

McCain is mentally unbalanced.

Tearing someone down, I see?

And here I thought you said you didn't go in for that sort of thing.

Tsk-tsk!

A or B?
