I know this may pain you but your man Romney will probably close the gap a bit and there will be a logjam at the top.

Who knows what would happen should Newt Gingrich throw his name into the fray.

Well, Newt's latest admission isn't going to help him much.

He sure does have a problem with that. He has some skeletons in his closet.

People just seem to love that guy and I'm not sure why.

Giuliani: Even though I don't share your views on abortion, gun control, and marriage (I'm divorced and support gay rights), please vote for me so the terrorists don't come to your house and kill you. Also, they hate us for our freedoms, so I support the Patriot Act and other legislation that rolls back those freedoms.

Giuliani warns of 'new 9/11' if Dems win

?If any Republican is elected president - - and I think obviously I would be the best at this - - we will remain on offense and will anticipate what (the terrorists) will do and try to stop them before they do it,? Giuliani said.

Giuliani warns of 'new 9/11' if Dems win

Come on. What Giuliani is implying is that the Dems are too weak to defend this country and defend us from our enemies.

As if.

Firefighters Union Letter On Rudy Giuliani
March 8, 2007


On March 14, 2007, the IAFF will host the first bi-partisan Presidential Forum of the 2008 election cycle. No other union and very few organizations has the credibility and respect to attract top-tier candidates from both political parties. The lineup of speakers who have agreed to participate in our Forum is truly a testament to our great union and the reputation we have built as a powerful political force and a coveted endorsement.

John Edwards, John McCain, Barack Obama, Chuck Hagel, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Duncan Hunter and seven other candidates will make their case before the 1,000 delegates who will be attending the Forum and to our entire membership via same-day broadcast on our web site.

Early on, the IAFF made a decision to invite all serious candidates from both political parties ? except one: former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

cont'd...

"Our disdain for him is not about issues or a disputed contract, it is about a visceral, personal affront to the fallen, to our union and, indeed, to every one of us who has ever risked our lives by going into a burning building to save lives and property."

Giuliani's Business Ties Could Be a Political Liability

Monday, May 14, 2007

WASHINGTON ? As a partner in a law and lobbying firm, Rudy Giuliani has profited from his firm's work representing corporate clients before virtually every Cabinet department, exposing himself to a wide range of potential ethical entanglements.
If Giuliani were elected president, his administration would be on the receiving end of regulatory requests, contract bids and policy proposals by the same clients of his Houston firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, that have contributed toward his personal net worth of millions of dollars.
Although the Republican presidential candidate has so far declined to identify all the companies with which Bracewell and his other firms have done business over the past five years, The Associated Press identified more than 175 as part of an expansive review of lobbying records, court filings and securities reports.
Giuliani's law and lobbying clients have included Saudi Arabia, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., and chewing tobacco maker UST Inc.


cont'd... lots of juicy stuff:

In addition to its lobbying clients, Bracewell & Giuliani represents businesses in legal and financial matters. Many are household names, such as AOL Time Warner; Apple Computer; Bank of America; General Electric; Southwest Airlines; Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.; and the San Antonio Spurs.
It also is working for Saudi Arabia. In March, the firm filed papers in a Texas court case on behalf of Saudi Arabia's oil ministry — taking sides with another international energy giant, Citgo, which is controlled by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a rival of the Bush administration. One month after the 2001 terrorist attacks, then-Mayor Giuliani famously rejected a $10 million check from a Saudi prince to help terrorism victims. Giuliani spokeswoman Comella declined to comment on the firm's Saudi connection.

You really cannot dress up that Giuliani - oh, wait, guess you can.

FWIW, the more I think of it......the more I think that a very conservative 3rd party candidate will emerge if Rudy G. get's the nomination. Nominating the guy who they think could win could end up biting the Republican party in the ass.
