Rudy Giuliani
Rudy, Back In News, Courts Right Wing On Marriage
Rudy Giuliani, the most tragic of the failed 2008 Republican primary contenders, is making political noise anew with his rather shocking decision to publicly rip New York’s efforts to legalize gay marriage, ripping Gov. David Paterson and NY Dems and shifting even further to the right than his campaign position on the issue. What’s Rudy […]
Excerpts: Rudy Giuliani RNC speech
On the importance of this election:
“This is a time for choosing - and to those Americans who still feel torn in this election, I’d like to suggest one way to think about the choice you have to make in 2008: You’re hiring someone to do a job - an important job that involves the […]
Rudy backs McCain: What does it mean?
The hours before tonight’s Republican debate at the Reagan Library in California brought the wholly expected announcement from Rudy Giuliani that he was immediately dropping out of the presidential race and endorsing good friend John McCain. The feeling of resignation regarding his status in the race and the kind words for McCain flowed freely from […]
Florida: The day…
It’s primary day in Florida and the GOP race that could be decided here has a lot of questions attached to it. For starters, how far will Rudy fall? Besides that, though, attention turns to frontrunners McCain and Romney. Their fierce battle filled with vitriol and potentially damaging accusations is down to the wire and […]

Florida: McCain and Romney still tied
This morning’s Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby tracking poll for the Florida GOP race puts McCain and Romney in a virtual dead heat with the primary only two days away. Both candidates are tied at 30%, with the rest of the field way back in the pack. That includes an increasingly irrelevant Rudy Giuliani. Is it the end of […]

GOP Florida Debate: Candidate Rundown
WINNER - MITT ROMNEY : He was in his prime element as the focus shifted seamlessly to the economy and away from his flip-flops and lack of foreign policy experience. In a bland debate where nothing stood out, his polished economic recitations were golden.
LOSER - RUDY GIULIANI: We saw - again - just why […]
Florida Republican Debate: Instant Analysis
What a decidedly boring and blatantly mishandled debate we had tonight, courtesy of MSNBC and the usually top-notch team of Brian Williams and Tim Russert. Not to say that the candidates would have been in the mood to roughhouse even if some prickly Q’s had been asked, but it wouldn’t have hurt to try a […]
Florida Republican Debate: Preview
It’s the final debate before what is arguably the make/break point in the Republican race: Florida. Wasn’t expected to be this way, but the wacky month of January has splintered all of our safe and solid pick for where and how the contest would be decided. Iowa and New Hampshire are worthless memories, Giuliani is […]
