Want Cheese w/that Whine, Mitt?

Gee willakers, it seems like my part-time pro-Rudy blogging avocation trends frequently towards Mitt-bashing.  I really wish it didn’t work out that way.  I would love to snark more about McCain, Fred, and the Huckster.
Thing is, Romney makes it so gosh-darned easy.  He won’t give a guy a break.
His campaign recently took time off from suggesting [...]

Open Primaries

I was looking at a NH poll today showing Mayor Giuliani lagging behind Romney– which was a bummer as Hizzoner had tightened things up there during the last round of polls– and saw that the bulk of independent voters in NH still aren’t sure which primary they’ll vote in.
They get to make that choice as [...]

Who is the 2nd choice?

Over at Red State there’s a little discussion going about the dynamics of the GOP primary.  The initial piece theorized that none of the GOP voters supporting 2nd and 3rd tier candidates will select Giuliani as their candidate, so his row will get tougher to hoe as time goes on.
This is just a different way [...]

Raising PA Ducats

Mayor Giuliani has raised more money out of Pennsylvania than any other GOP candidate, we learn here.
[Piece by the ever helpful Josh Drobnyk, who continues to kick the big papers' collective behinds on campaign '08 coverage, although the HT goes to Keystone Politics]
Hillary has a similar lead over her competition in the state.
The Dems are [...]

Phil English and Giuliani

Back when I noted Congreeman Phil English’s (R-PA) endorsement of Giuliani I omitted a very important fact of which I was unaware.
Phil English’s rating with the National Right to Life Committee?  100%.
Just sayin’.

Swing State Quinnipiac Poll Time: Looking like Rudy & Hil

Quinnipiac University does a monthly poll of swing states: PA, OH, and FL.
The big picture?  Hillary and Giuliani appear to remain the favorites for their respective nominations.  Rudy’s matchups w/her in a general election are looking marginally worse.  Still close, but he’s now behind her in all three.  The upside of this?  He’s still way [...]

PA & Giuliani’s Electability

It would be disingenuous to deny that some of Hizzoner’s appeal lies in his electability.  It is difficult to imagine any other GOP candidate has a better chance at winning a general election.
Of course, the fly in the ointment has always been about his electability in the GOP primary.  Take a look at this map, [...]

It’s Official: Vento Backs Rudy

Joey Vento has indeed offered his endorsement of Mayor Giuliani.
If one has decided to go to the Italian Market, then, for cheesesteaks, you have a choice: Vento, who has endorsed Giuliani.  Or Pat’s, who put swiss cheese on Kerry’s cheesesteak hoagie.
Word on the street is Hizzoner ordered a “Whiz, wit.”  That’s a cheesesteak with cheese [...]

Hizzoner in South Philly Tomorrow

Mayor Giuliani will be visiting Geno’s steaks tomorrow, possibly burnishing his immigration image.  As many of you know, Mayor Giuliani’s first priority as Mayor of NYC was to lower crime.  Since so much of the crime happens in neighborhoods chockablock with illegal immigrants, he needed to ensure they felt comfortable reporting crimes to the constabulary.  [...]
