For some Republicans, here in New Hampshire and elsewhere in the land, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is nothing less than the new Saint George, who will save our fair land by slaying the dragon named Hillary. Republicans who doubt it must not be reading their mail. A recent pamphlet from the Giuliani campaign mentions the dreaded Hillary by name seven times and includes two photos of her. Two of the six panels are devoted to her exclusively. Perhaps we should cancel the New Hampshire primary now. Mayor Giuliani has already chosen the nominees of both parties. "Rudy Giuliani is the only Republican who can beat Hillary Clinton and the Democrats in 2008," the slick mailer ...
Giuliani's Firm Fights to Win Congressional Spending He Vows to Eliminate

Nov. 26 (Bloomberg) -- On the campaign trail, Rudy Giuliani rails against congressional spending set aside for lawmakers' pet projects. In Washington, his law firm fights to obtain them. Giuliani, the Republican presidential front-runner, last month pledged to ``get rid of'' so-called earmarks, which cost taxpayers about $13 billion this year, saying his party should promote ``fiscal discipline.'' Just weeks later, Bracewell & Giuliani LLP won $3 million worth of projects for its clients in defense-spending legislation. ``It's a bit hypocritical,'' said Republican consultant Eddie Mahe, who isn't aligned with any presidential candidate. ``He profits ...

November 26, 2007 Giuliani's Culture of Corruption Why did an Israeli billionaire hand $250,000 to Giuliani protégé Bernie Kerik? by Justin Raimondo They say he's the only one who can beat the Democrats in '08, the only one who's tough enough to take on Hillary and keep the White House for the GOP, but the truth is quite the opposite. With at least two major scandals brewing under the surface, in addition to his otherdistinctively un-Republican peccadilloes, Rudy is the candidate with the biggest glass jaw of them all. The slow-burning fuse of the controversy surrounding the lack of functioning radios for the New York City firemen who suffered such heavy ...

November 25, 2007 Former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) suggested on Sunday that Fox News is biased against his campaign, charging that the network highlights commentators who have been critical of his run for the presidency. In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace pressed Thompson on how some conservatives have lambasted Thompson's campaign and showed clips of Fox conservative commentators Charles Krauthammer and Fred Barnes criticizing the former senator. Thompson said, "This has been a constant mantra of Fox, to tell you the truth." He noted that other conservatives have praised his bid for the GOP nomination and took issue with a Fox promo that ...
Giuliani Campaign Behind Scheme to Steal the Election {California}

Remember the California electoral initiative that was supposed to be dead already? Play (1036) Not only is it not dead, it’s a host of heavyweights for the Giuliani campaign that have been behind it and are currently working to gather the signatures needed before the deadline next week to keep it alive. Bill Schneider: A lot of the money behind the California ballot measure is coming from Republicans with ties to Rudy Giuliani, and a lot of the effort to stop it is coming from the Hillary Clinton forces. It’s turning into an early showdown between the two front-runners, and the voters of California don’t even know it.

Mitt Romney Who? As Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul Excel in PollsRecent independent polls are now showing Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney falling out of favor with the populace while both Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul gain ground. Huckabee may still be listed around 50/1 odds of becoming the next US President at most online gambling locales but he is starting to show signs of life at the polls. AOL Wire Services have Mike Huckabee with 11 percent and leapfrogging over Mitt Romney (the supposed front runner along side Rudy Giuliani). That same poll had Giuliani forging an even bigger lead of 14 points past Fred Thompson. The AOL.com poll, which surveys the site's users, had Rudy ...

If elected, Senator Obama would be our first black president; Senator Clinton our first woman president; Mitt Romney our first Mormon/android president; and Fred Thompson would be our first persistent vegetative president. But Rudy Giuliani -- Rudy Giuliani would be our first genuinely batshit president. Glenn Greenwald this week described Giuliani as suffering from "messianic paranoia" with a "swaggering tough guy" personality. I agree with everything Greenwald described of course except for the swaggering part. Giuliani has more of a skulking, slithering lurch and not so much a swagger. But I nitpick. Rudy Giuliani has verified this week that he is the heir to ...

The Washington Post/ABC News poll published Wednesday found that 24 percent of Republicans likely to attend the caucus vote would support Huckabee, who stood four percentage points behind former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

Presidential Primary Set for Jan. 8, Following Iowa Leadoff Caucuses BEVERLEY WANG AP News Nov 21, 2007 16:17 EST New Hampshire will hold its first-in-the-nation presidential primary on Jan. 8, five days after Iowa's leadoff caucuses. Secretary of State William Gardner announced the date Wednesday, ending months of speculation, including the possibility that New Hampshire might push its primary into December in order to keep its spot first in the line. Jan. 8 is the earliest ever for the primary, which often has shaped presidential contests — sometimes dramatically — for half a century. Gardner set the date hours after Michigan's Supreme Court said that ...

Starting today, Iowans will start getting bombarded with a 60-second TV ad featuring the actor’s endorsement of Huckabee as a “principled, authentic conservative.” Besides Huck’s supporting of second amendment rights and abolishing taxes, the ad wants you to know that Chuck Norris personally secure the border, he has fist hiding beneath his beard, and he can move the earth.

Edwards: Clinton would perpetuate US occupation of Iraq11/18/2007 @ 8:57 pm Filed by Nick Langewis With the Iowa caucuses approaching, Senator John Edwards (D-NC), on a Sunday campaign stop, calls the position of Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) on the United States' occupation of Iraq a tacit approval, and continuation, of war, reports the Associated Press. At town hall meetings in western Nevada, Clinton and Edwards, both seeking the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, aired their proposals for handling Iraq if they were to take office. While Clinton would withdraw troops "as soon as I can," with no timetable offered, Edwards says he would immediately withdraw up to ...

NYT columnist wants to keep Cheney in the White House11/19/2007 @ 11:38 am Filed by Nick Juliano Obama-Cheney ’08? If Thomas Friedman has his way, those bumper-stickers would be gracing the backs of automobiles across the country by next summer. The New York Times columnist argues that Vice President Dick Cheney’s war-mongering would make the perfect addition to Sen. Barack Obama’s policy team. The Illinois Democrat has made his promise to negotiate with America’s enemies a central theme in his presidential campaign, but Friedman argues that Cheney’s hawkish approach to the world is the only way to put some weight behind Obama’s words. “When it ...

The dark side of Mike HuckabeeThe national media seems to have a crush on our ex-governor, but here in Arkansas, we know better. By Max Brantley Nov. 13, 2007 | LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- The Pony Express has reached us here in the Arkansas backwoods with the latest journals from the big cities. So the country correspondents have taken a break from hand-setting lines of type to read the Beltway boys and girls rave about our former governor, Mike Huckabee. "Easy to like," wrote Newsweek's Jonathan Alter. "Who Doesn't Heart Huckabee?" said the headline over Gail Collins' column in the New York Times. And those are restrained commentators.

A group of 9/11 firefighters and victims' family members with eyes on derailing Republican Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign is close to a decision on forming an entity that would run issue ads in key early nominating states. "TV made him a hero, and we'll use TV to take him down," New York Fire Chief Jim Riches told ABC News. The final decision about the formation of an outside entity will happen sometime within the next few weeks after the group finalizes its plans at a meeting scheduled for after Thanksgiving. So far, though, under Riches' leadership, the group has sought legal guidance and help from political consultants. If the group decides to move ...
