Here we go again, Rudy Giuliani edition.
A new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation national poll shows the former New York City mayor atop the slow-forming Republican primary field.
The survey shows Giuliani getting 16 percent of independents and Republicans, with nominal frontrunner Mitt Romney a point behind at 15 percent.
Sarah Palin gets 13 percent.

Never trust a guy who can’t be humiliated by the voters.
Not an injudicious rule of thumb ;-)
No way he’d win the primaries...Romney might...which wouldn’t be good, either. Hopefully not...
Sure its not ‘anybody but Romney?
They call him “nominal frontrunner” and he keeps being runner up in polls.
Meanwhile, they keep saying nothing about the real threat to the status quo.
Repeat after me: HERMAN CAIN. HERMAN CAIN. HERMAN CAIN. HERMAN CAIN. HERMAN CAIN. HERMAN CAIN.
“I do nothing but worry.”
Well, snap out of it.
Worry doesnt fix squat.
Chill, brother. I got your meaning.
I was stating my position on it. Nothing aimed at you.
Solution, lets have only one party and nominate 2-4 people from the one party to run for office of President. We might as well, its what its beginning to look like.
Rudy Giuliani is naught but the LSM’s latest Palin threat candidate du jour. The guy had the same LSM hype in 08, and he failed miserabley.
S’OK.
Appears we have an encore (sort of): Rim and Stumpy.
if it comes to it .. I would vote fro Lucrezia Borgia .. but I am voting and I am voting to get Obama out.
I am not staying home, I’ll crawl on my hands and knees if i have to and I am not tossing my vote away. That woudl be like giving one to Obama.
I just can’t take another 4 years of this and neither can our country
Just overheard a man on Fox say these polls are meaningless and a waste of time, amen!
There is no doubt about that, IMO. I submit this observation: many people that lived in NYC or anywhere within 50 miles of it during 9/11, developed a bit of a "soft spot" for Giuliani as he emerged as a "hero" for many during the crisis and the aftermath. Heck, that "soft spot" extended far beyond NYC as I recall hearing folks from all around the country referring to him as "America's Mayor" and other similar platitudes. I don't think anyone needs to re-hash what the immediate area around NYC was like that day and beyond, it was hellish for any number of reasons. This guy stepped up and show some strength and leadership. IMO, give him his props for that. But that is it, period.
I think that aspect tends to make New Yorkers (and many others) want to continue to "give him props" so it may explain why I often hear people suggest Attorney General or whatever when his name comes up. IMO he is a big-government, authoritarian, gun-grabbing, statist that apparently holds obscene social values. That is it in a nutshell. I wouldn't want to see him anywhere in government at a national level (nor at a state level if I resided in that state!). Personally, I don't think that he has any intention whatsoever to actually become a candidate. I think that it is just a publicity and attention-seeking stunt.
No Rudy.No way.No Romney,no way.Ditto for Newt, and McPain.
I’m in for Sarah,Cain,maybe Perry or any solid legitimate conservative.Otherwise, TP/write-in or stay home.
No more holding noses.
No Ron Paul,either. And Rand is turning to to be just as nutty and backstabbing,IMO.
No Ron Paul,either. And Rand is turning out to be just as nutty and backstabbing,IMO.
Come to Texas, fellow patriot. We've got plenty of New Yorkers living here, and some are even conservative. We can always use a few more.
Sarah or bust, or it's on to phase two which has been spoken of, but can be avoided if we ALL stand our ground.
I not only agree with you on that, but it's the plain and simple truth. If we don't get Sarah into the White House next year, this country is going to a place where none of us wants to go.
Hee hee... Don't ya just love it?
What kind of judges would he appoint? I might be able to live with him.
“Im not sure why, but Montana seems to be pulling me towards it.”
I hear you. Tall mountains, beautiful lakes, lush forests and animals that can eat you... what could go wrong? :)
Seriously, I’ve heard that call myself.
Keep in mind that Montana isn’t a Right-To-Work state so if you have a business you might also consider northern Idaho.
