The polling data you refer to is bases on current standings. There is no way those numbers will continue to hold, especially when the TV commercials hit the airwaves about Rudy's positions on abortion, partial birth abortion, homoisexual agenda, illegal immigration amnesty, gun control, global warming and the latest, his financial connections to Citgo.

Boy, you really like to jump, huh?

Giuliani opposes partial-birth abortions and tax-funded abortions and - though Giuliani supports domestic partnerships - he believes marriage is strictly between man and a woman. link

And you probably saw this post posted by Areafiftyone, though the anti-Rudy's are known for their faulty memories I will refresh your memory:

HERE IS SOMETHING INTERESTING THE HOTLINE NEGLECTED TO SAY:

Patrick Oxford, a managing partner at Bracewell & Giuliani, said Giuliani, a Republican presidential hopeful, has no dealings with the Venezuelan-owned oil company. ``He has not seen hide nor hair of Citgo,'' Oxford said.

``Mayor Giuliani has been clear and consistent -- Hugo Chavez is no friend of the United States,'' campaign spokeswoman Katie Levinson said in the statement. ``Chief among the reasons Chavez has so much influence around the world is our ongoing dependence on foreign oil.''

With all due respect, social conservatives don't care if it's called homosexual marriage, civil union, or domestic partnership. They don't accept two homosexual people cohabitating and receiving the same benefits as a married couple.

As far as Bracewell & Giuliani, it is interesting that $250,000 has been paid to the firm by Citgo, and the money was accepted. Rudy has certainly received his pay as a senior partner. He has also not divested himself from the company, so anything they do is still going to be connected to him, whether right or wrong.

As far as Rudy knowing nothing about Citgo, it is interesting that less than 30 days of Rudy buying into the firm, the Citgo contract was signed. A senior partner is well aware of a major client like Citgo.
