Poll: Giuliani leads the GOP pack (& more on conservative endorsements Olson and Vitter)
CNN ^ | March 12, 2007 | CNN

Posted on 03/12/2007 6:48:13 PM PDT by FairOpinion

Giuliani is the preferred candidate for 34 percent of likely Republican voters, according to the poll. Giuliani has a double-digit lead over his nearest rival, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who is the choice candidate for 18 percent of potential Republican voters.

Conservative endorsements

In a move to attract conservatives skeptical of his position on social issues such as gun control, abortion rights and same-sex civil unions, Giuliani's campaign Monday announced endorsements from Sen. David Vitter, R-Louisiana, and former Solicitor General Ted Olson.

"Obviously, I disagree with Rudy on some significant social issues, and these are very important to me and to many people I represent," said Vitter, a vocal opponent of abortion, gay marriage and gun control.

"But after numerous personal meetings with the mayor, it's very clear to me that he's not running for president to advance any liberal social agenda," he said.

Olson, who served with Giuliani in the Reagan Justice Department, said he believes the former mayor "will appoint the kind of judges that we expect in this country -- people that respect the rule of law and the role of judges and who interpret the laws and interpret the Constitution, instead of judges who want to make policy."

The way he talks in a Clintonesque manner about this topic reveals that he really supports gay marriage but just calls it by a different term. He is no champion of the traditional marriage.

"Reality - Hillary was AHEAD of Rudy when he dropped out. "

That was IN New York State.

In poll after poll Rudy is outpolling Hillary TODAY.

You keep living in the past, posting things from 30 years ago, ignoring TODAY and pretending to ignore that you are PROMOTING VICTORY FOR HILLARY, by constantly attacking the one Republican who can defeat her.

If YOU aren't terrified ...

Scary faerie tales don't frighten me any more.

I'm a grown man, and I'm willing to fight for my beliefs.

And not you or Rudy or Hillary or anybody are going to scare me off!

It was a rhetorical question.

All responses will trigger the standard Pavlovian responses.

"Jeb ain't running. He's supporting Romney."

Huh? Jeb hasn't officially endorsed anybody. And neither have any of the Bush family.

Any links to that list?

On the issues: Liberal Party endorsement of Giuliani

National Review: Rockefeller quote

New York Observer: Reagan Republican quote

New York Observer: Republican convention quote

New York Observer: Goldwater quote(though, I do agree with him here)

New York Observer: Clinton quote

New York Observer: 'Good hands' quote

They took all of two minutes to find.

LOL< he can't even win in New York! He has yet to go over 40%. He is toast. Burnt toast, just like his expensive emergency command center that destroyed 7 World Trade Center.

Unofficially, he's lining up behind Romney.

Just like Mark Sanford with McCain.

Last I heard, there was now some tension between Jeb and Romney.

The Bushes are backing Romney, that's been going around for a while. No formal endorsements have come, but it's been happening behind the scenes.
