Sniffle, that's so touching.

The thought of Rooty in the WH sending our brave soldiers into war to fight for the right to kill babies is nauseating.
For example, Rudy's helping China go nuclear.
Giuliani's global law firm Bracewell & Giuliani (with two law offices in Kazakhstan--a former Soviet state), said that Kazakh companies are coming of age and expanding globally; it’s a way to shore up partners, other than Russia, for Kazakh's nuclear-related transport industry. Read on.

Kazakhstan, an Ex-Soviet state eyes uranium primacy With Giuliani's help, an American company Westinghouse has been allowed to deliver its newest third-generation nuclear plant to China.
GIMME THAT AGAIN. "Has been allowed"? Actually, if Rudy has his way, Americans are quite possibly going to pay for these nuclear plants to be built.
The US federal Ex-Im Bank http://www.exim.gov) approved up to $5 billion in loan guarantees or even direct loans for this project back in 2005, although apparently, no specific funding guarantee or allocation has yet been made. That would change if Rudy gets presidential power.
Back in June, 2007, and article from Human Events reported "Administration Poised to Subsidize China’s Nuclear Industry," ---covers the Ex-Im political situation up to that point.
In November, 2007, technical article on Red China's nuclear power situation from the World Nuclear Association, Nuclear Power in China, which also has a bit about the funding and more detail about what contracts nuclear players are already involved in the PRC.
“McCain said he does not support the federally backed catastrophic insurance fund”
Only McCain has the stones to come to Florida and say this. (Or go to Michigan and tell the truth about the auto industry or Iowa and not back ethanol subsidies).
What’s Romney’s position? Somehow, I bet he’ll come out with a way to “strengthen” this program and will do some more pandering so folks can rest assure that if their houses built teetering over the ocean get blown away in a hurricane, Mitt will be there with the federal government to clean up after the mess. Where ever there are votes to be had Mitt is there with with the “right” position and some tv spots to prove how sincere he is.
I have been wondering about the effect of early voting too. In SurveyUSA’s latest poll, 20% of respondents had already voted. Their votes were significantly more tilted to McCain (31%) than those who had not yet voted.
This group was only 100 people so hard to say how representative it really is. This is one wild primary.

The polls said the Guliani was the inevitable candidate for the GOP a couple of months ago. You should know that the drive-by media polls are designed to shape public opinion not inform the public.
The polls indicated that Rudy was the top pick at the time, before multiple scandals came out about him. The polls did not say that he would remain the top pick even if such scandals emerged or his big-state strategy failed. They can't factor in major influences that have not happened yet.
You should know that the drive-by media polls are designed to shape public opinion not inform the public.
If that were the case, polls would not change.
Polls measure public opinion, whether you want to believe it or not. This is not to deny that an unscrupulous pollster can manipulate the questions to bias the results. But reputable pollsters provide the questions and related data so we can judge whether the poll was done properly.
