The Republican race for the 2008 nomination just got a HELL of a lot more interesting…Rudy G. has seemingly answered months of on-again/off-again speculation with…it’s on, baby!
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, a moderate Republican best known for his stewardship of the city after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, has taken the first step in a […]
Reporter Nicholas Confessore of the New York Times provides coverage of the first public remarks from Mayor Rudy Giuliani about the November 7, 2006 elections.
The Mayor emphasizes reform as the key to a Republican resurgence, arguing that spending restraint, tax reform, and immigration reform should be the immediate focus of the GOP in Washington, D.C. and […]
Check it out here. Just a warning though, you get only 1 freebie. You can chose one Rep. vs. one Dem and see the vote breakdown of one state.
It’s really late, so I will have more analysis tomorrow. But here are some tidbits to tide you over:
Rudy is the biggest electoral winner beating Hillary 354 to 184 […]
Newsweek recently released a poll asking people about what Party they want their next President to be from, and then about whether or not they would vote for several individual candidates. The results are interesting, if not ironically humorous. Keep reading…
“Now thinking ahead to the next presidential election in November 2008 — In general, would […]
Some very interesting results from a post-election poll by Newsweek:
Just about everyone believes the Republicans lost the 2006 midterms more than the Democrats won it. Presented with a list of factors that may have contributed to the Democrats’ success, 85 percent of Americans said the “major reason” was disapproval of the administration’s handling of […]
You knew I just had to pen one of these, didn’t you?
Up: Conservative Democrats. Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t be Speaker without them, and they can exit the Democratic tent just as quickly as they came in. The conservative Democrat is possibly the most powerful voter in the country right now, epitomized by the Democratic majority in […]
Here’s what an Arizona news article reports on McCain ‘08:
McCain is actually one of the winners of last night’s (Tuesday’s) voting,” said Frank Luntz, a pollster with GOP ties. “He’s in a better situation today because Republicans will have lost both houses of Congress.”
Luntz’s way of thinking, Americans will be less likely to elect a […]
According to a new McLaughlin & Associates 2008 presidential poll, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani appear to be the frontrunners on the Republican side, while Hillary Clinton is running head and shoulders above everyone else on the Democratic side.
This is also the first survey I’ve seen that includes newcomer Duncan Hunter in the rankings. Unfortunately […]

The big question I have is why CNN shows Giuliani and McCain either being defeated by Hillary Rodham Clinton or virtually tied with […]
It now looks reasonable to declare that the GOP has lost both the House of Representatives and the Senate, something that very few (if any) serious pundits predicted. It’s a shocker, but it is part of life and it’s something that Republicans must take in stride and run with. The GOP is a superior party […]
Stuff like this is why I predict McCain and Romney cancel each other out.
Days before the ‘06 election, McCain supporters in Michigan are already devising a Machiavellian plot to oust to Michigan GOP Chairman Saul Anuzis, whom, it is alleged, is getting too cozy with the Romney folks. The move is led by RNC committeeman […]
According to the latest CNN Poll, Rudy Giuliani is the top choice for Republican presidential nominee, clocking in at 29% of the vote, while John McCain comes in at a close 27%. While Newt Gingrich has remained static since the last CNN Poll taken in August, every other candidate has made significant gains, whilst George […]
I find his conclusion very improbable, but he does make an interesting case:
[Sen. George] Allen’s radically reduced prospects will make it less likely that McCain can duplicate his 2000 triumph in New Hampshire’s primary. As one seasoned New Hampshire Republican says, “It is difficult to capture lightning in a bottle twice.” It will be particularly […]
This one surprised me a little bit. The latest FOX News Poll pits McCain against Hillary Clinton and then against Barack Obama. Here were the results:
“Thinking ahead to the next presidential election, if the 2008 general election were held today and the candidates were Democrat [see below] and Republican [see below], for whom would you […]
Almost every presidential poll from early 2005 until now has shown Rudy Giuliani or John McCain (Giuliani more often than McCain) to be the frontrunner for the GOP nomination, with the only other potential challenger being Condoleezza Rice (whom most assume will not run). So the question is, are we looking pretty much at a […]
We have heard the rumors this past week that Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Ken Mehlman is likely to leave his current position, will probably open up his own political consulting firm, and could end up on the 2008 presidential campaign staff of Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
And Mehlman may be just the start of some real sparks that […]
As noted by Kavon, we’ve gotten a trickle of New Hampshire polling after a recent dearth of it. McCain leads the field based on residual goodwill from 2000, with 32 percent of the vote. Rudy is at 19 percent and Mitt Romney is at 15 percent. What’s my perspective on this poll as a Giuliani […]
Or: “Is Lieberman more conservative than McCain?”
Last night I set off quite the firestorm via a suggestion on one of RudyBlogger’s posts regarding the relative positions on the political spectrum of Joe Lieberman and John McCain. My comment, which I probably should’ve clarified more effectively, was in response to what was in my view a […]
I’m a conservative, so I don’t hang out thart much on more moderate blogs like GOP Progress or even on some of the pro-Rudy warblogger sites like Roger L. Simon. So, it looks like I missed an interesting reparte on what Joe Lieberman killing Ned Lamont means for 2008 and the GOP.
A day or so back, someone […]
Lee Bandy is a veteran and widely respected chronicler of southern politics and reports in today’s The State on the 2008 GOP presidential race in the early and crucial primary state of South Carolina, which he claims is shaping up as a contest between Senator McCain and Governor Romney.
Bandy addresses and dismisses the potential 2008 […]
News has just recently been released that North Korea has indeed followed through on its plans to test a nuke–plans announced just a few days ago. Anyone who has been watching the news in the hours since this occurred has surely noticed the same thing: the world is now in a very different situation.
While some […]
I don’t think there’s any doubt about who the frontrunner is. Though this poll is corrupted by the inclusion of Condi Rice, Rudy finishes first in the latest WNBC/Marist Poll and McCain is down to 15% — right where I thought he’d wind up all along. The poll shows that Republicans are practically begging Rudy […]
Political strategist and commentator Dick Morris told a Monday night audience in Escanaba, Michigan that he believes Hillary Clinton is the frontrunner to be the next President of the United States and that only Mayor Giuliani or Senator McCain on the Republican side are capable of defeating her. Morris went on to say that he […]
During my early years as a political junkie in the 1990s, I ran across a wonderful book at my local Barnes and Noble entitled, The Keys to the White House. This book is still in print, was penned by American University professor Allan Lichtman, and offers the most accurate attempt at a quantitative formula to determine […]
For all the bad, horrible, miserable, painful things that have happened to George Allen these last few weeks, you’ve gotta figure that ads like this have to hurt the most.
And Giuliani, who offered these encouraging words for the Virginia Senator:
“You can take somebody’s career and you can do all kinds of things with it, you […]
