Rudy Giuliani appears to be pondering an end to his long pursuit of the Republican presidential nomination.
In a meeting in the back of his chartered plane en route to St. Petersburg, Fla., a short while ago, the onetime, longtime GOP front-runner told a small group of reporters, including The Times' Louise Roug: "The winner of Florida will win the nomination."

There’s no true conservative left in the race, so, does it really matter who wins Florida?

So I take it you’re in the tank for McCain now?
That’s scary.
Remember who this man is.
He’s the one who considered being John Kerry’s running mate.
He’s considered switching parties several times since 2001.
If McCain is elected president, he will switch parties and become a Democrat.
He would do it to avoid the serious challenge he would face within the GOP for renomination in 4 years.
McCain would move quickly to pump up his Democrat credentials as soon as he takes office.
Romney at least will not deliver the Ultimate Betrayal that McCain has been planning for years.
He won’t just sell out the GOP to Democrats. He’ll also sell out America’s border to Mexico.

What guy has won Iowa, New Hampshire, and Michigan?
To: EnquiringMind
He has said over and over, yesterday and today, that he will win Florida. Hes telling us that he will be the nominee. What is he supposed to say?
Face it, Rooty's problem all along is that he's in the wrong party.

Its probably true. I hope.
What Rudy said was true: the winner of Florida will win the GOP nomination.
He is hoping that will be him, but he will protect his business interests by bowing out of the race after Florida if he can’t vindicate his Florida-or-nothing strategy.

>>>>>Theres no true conservative left in the race, so, does it really matter who wins Florida?Got that right. Once Fred dropped out, the GOP became the party of Rockefeller Republicanism. YUCK

He is going to get a lot of votes, and the NY transplants that I know are pretty hot on him. The NY transplants are concentrated in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties. They are disproportionately Jewish and overwhelmingly Democratic. As Democrats, they cannot vote.

An open border with which to take a fat profit while implementing a police state under the threat of total anarchy is the highest globalist priority, IMO.

"The RINO establishment doesnt need Rudy anymore. Theyve got Giuliani with a smiley face and good hair: Mitt Romney."And lacking the critical examination and assessment of liberal tendancies that Rudy has gone through for several years.

Do you really need a "hit job" on a candidate who's sitting in fourth place in the only state he's campaigned in? You do when he is pulling votes from your buddy, McCain, in a close race.

That isnt exactly grandiose plans. In retrospect, it is good he didnt become a senator, since senators rarely ever win the WH.
HEH! Yeah, that really holds true now doesn’t it? :)
Rudy isn’t a Senator, Huck isn’t a Senator, Fred was a citizen, and McCain is in it to the last.
On the dem side you have two Senators slugging it out with the dems the early favorite in 08 across the board.
Thank you for the post. - Bill

The abortionist Rudy going down is a big deal. At least the pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun planks stay in the GOP platform. Down with RINOism!!

Yep, three separate ones.
To: DannyTN; EternalVigilance
And lacking the critical examination and assessment of liberal tendancies that Rudy has gone through for several years. That an the fact that Romney at least CLAIMS to be a conservative.
Rooty thought he could get the GOP nomination by running as a liberal and reminding people that he was mayor on 9/11.

If you aren’t for Romney, then you are for McCain at this point.
It’s time for you to really think about this, because as of now, all roads that don’t lead to a Romney nomination lead to McCain.
