Click Jim Nussle and Rudy Giuliani

WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani is planning his first campaign trip to Iowa next month, a sign that he is considering competing in the early voting state where social conservatives dominate the GOP caucuses.
The Giuliani campaign said Tuesday that the former New York City mayor plans a few days of events in the state the week of April 2.
Giuliani leads the crowded GOP field in several national polls. But it's unclear just how much support a pro-abortion rights, pro-gun control, pro-gay rights Republican can get among those attending Iowa's GOP caucuses.
That has led to speculation that Giuliani may skip Iowa's contest to focus on states that would be more amenable to his moderate stance.
In recent weeks, Giuliani has brought on Jim Nussle, a former Iowa congressman and 2006 candidate for governor, as an adviser, and Tony Delgado, a former staffer at the Republican National Committee, to focus on the state.
((((RUDY PING))))
…most of Clintons Policies are very similar to most of mine... Rudy Giuliani 1996
On Abortion ...I’ve said that I’ll uphold a woman’s right to choice, that I will fund abortions so that a poor woman is not deprived of a right others can exercise… Rudy Giuliani 1989.
On Gun Control ...This is an industry that is profiting from the suffering of innocent people. What’s worse, its profits rest on a number of illegal and immoral practices. This lawsuit is meant to end the free pass that the gun industry has so long enjoyed... Rudy Giuliani 2000 after filing suit against gun makers and distributors.
On Gun Control ....We need a federal law that bans all assault weapons, and if in fact you do need a handgun you should be subjected to at least the same restrictions-and really stronger ones-that exist for driving an automobile... Rudy Giuliani 1997
Links please?
You really ought to give Iowa a try...provided you were contrary.
I don't think Rudy will skip Iowa.
its real...look em up yourself or have Jim Rob take it out.....
Since Ronald Reagan, 100% of Iowa's delegates to the national convention have signed a pledge: one that commits them to keeping the pro-life plank in the platform, and to only supporting pro-life nominees for President and Vice-President.
Rooty is toast in Iowa.
I was quoting from "The Music Man." ;-)
Oh wow I liked that musical with Robert Preston. One of my favorites.
Nice to see Rudy deciding to visit America. I hope he brings his passport...
If HRC can fake a southern accent, Rudy can go to Iowa.
I used to defend "other's rights" until I realized babies are others, too.
I DON'T THINK SO:
Zogby in Iowa: Edwards early Democrat favorite; Giuliani and McCain tops for GOP
Thanks so much! :-)
You are simply ignorant of the Iowa Caucus process. Your popularity/name identification polls mean less than nothing.
Republicat Manor. A weasel like group of republicat creatures that think they can rule the entire species. The show will feature an alpha female republicat named "Growlin'" and will feature the wacky exploits of a small band of misfits and malcontents in their daily misadventures.
Jim Nussle is a traitor to the pro-life conservative cause. His political career is over. He'll never be anything but a lobbyist/campaign operative ever again.
