Quinnipiac Calls Hizzoner “Swing State Rudy”

The most recent Quinnipiac University poll voters in Pennsylvania, Florida, and Ohio indicates that Giuliani continues to lead the pack for the potential GOP nomination.  Having taken a brief look at the internals of this poll and the most recent preceding one in PA– taken a month ago– there is plenty for Team Rudy to [...]

McCain AND Ridge Dislike Representative Government

I know Tom Ridge is popular in Pennsylvania.  I’ve never quite understood why.  It always seemed to me like he was constructed at the same politician robot factory that fabricated Romney.
Well, Ridge likes McCain.  They’re buddies from way back.  So he is supporting him as well as he can, organizing a fundraising shin-dig for the author [...]

Braman Joins Team Rudy

Former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, Norman Bramen, has joined Team Giuliani.  So let me take a moment to remind Eagle’s fans that Norman Braman is a pretty awesome dude.
Believe me, I know as an owner of a football team he could have been better.  But as a man he is top notch.  He has spectacularly [...]

Act 1 & the PA Primaries

Tony Phyrillas informs us that school boards continue to opt out of the scam known as Act 1 Tax Reform.  It has been a burden figuring out how this legislative rat’s nest works, and he was kind enough to direct me to the best summary I’ve seen.  It is a page at the Pennsylvania Taxpayer’s Cyber Coalition.
This [...]

Installment 3: Look at Philly, Then Look at Rudy

People of Southeastern PA, take note:  Philadelphia’s murder rate continues to skyrocket.  [HT Keystone Politics] I’ve said it before, but let me say it again:  Being the man in the White House where the buck stops is all about executive competence in difficult situations.  Most of the problems we conservatives have with the current occupant [...]

Rudy Leads GOP Candidates in PA Fundraising

I understand that money does not necessarily equate to votes.  But a candidate would certainly rather have more of it than less, so I am happy to report that Rudy Giuliani leads all the other GOP presidential candidates in fundraising in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  See the numbers here. [HT Grassroots PA]
 I would like to [...]

Gingrich Endorses Giuliani at PALC

Well, he didn’t explicitly endorse Giuliani.  But Hizzoner was the only presidential candidate mentioned by Gingrich in a positive way.  And the thrust of his remarks at the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference seemed, to me, like a list of reasons to elect Rudolph Giuliani president.
Newt made two broad sets of points.  First, he claimed American politicians [...]

PA Leadership Conference Straw Poll: Rudy Leads All Presidential Candidates

The above may be a little deceptive.  Because Hizzoner actually finished tied for second, with Newt.  Keep in mind, though, that Newt was actually speaking there.  Both had around 16 points.  Romney had something like 12.  Fred Thompson, though, slaughtered the field with 35 or so.
This conference is put on by Pennsylvania grassroots conservatives, not [...]

Pennsylvania Leadership Conference

I will be attending a conservative confab called the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference this Saturday.  Can’t make it Friday, unfortunately, so I will miss Laura Ingraham.  I will only be a guerrilla advocate for the Mayor while there as the campaign will not have a formalized presence.  They were not able to make the scheduling work, although I know [...]

Non-Partisan Break: Time Warner Opposes Market Forces

I would like to take a moment to pimp a non-partisan issue dear to my heart as one who works with trade publications, and also enjoys reading political journals.
Time Warner is massaging the Postal Board of Governors with their lobbying muscle, hoping to make periodical postal codes about as complicated as our tax code.  One of the [...]
