Here we go again, Rudy Giuliani edition.
A new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation national poll shows the former New York City mayor atop the slow-forming Republican primary field.
The survey shows Giuliani getting 16 percent of independents and Republicans, with nominal frontrunner Mitt Romney a point behind at 15 percent.
Sarah Palin gets 13 percent.

Rudy would be great for National Defense....what he did to NYC (everyone in NYC hated the man, especially unions). He turned what used to be a crap filled dangerous toilet called NYC into what it is now....or used to be.
As POTUS, I say HELL NO. National Defense, I say yes. He is not politically correct and does have a spine of steel. He was IN 9/11, survived and preserved. Remember, at that time he was Americas Mayor. He takes no sh&t.
However, he is socially lib; therefore NOT a Conservative, which is what our country needs as POTUS.
I say get ready fellow Conservatives......for the fight of our lives, and I mean that literally.
Sarah or bust, or it's on to phase two which has been spoken of, but can be avoided if we ALL stand our ground.
Sarah or phase two. YOU decide.
I am waiting for them to dig up Harold Stassen.
Yeah, first Perry this week and now Rudy. The GOP “Anybody but Sarah” crowd is in a full-blown panic.
How could this be or is this not a reliable poll? Giuliani was outed in 2008 as a liberal who was a pretty good cop. What’s this all about?
Rudy polled well then lost to Mccain
A poll eight months out, with a sampling error of +/-4% and no candidate getting more than 15% is utterly meaningless. You may as well be sampling the preponderance of colors in a bag of M&Ms
Rudy’s position on national security/foreign policy issues isn’t conservative either. He would use our military to intervene in every single conflict around the world while leaving our own borders wide open here at home.
This is a CNN poll, so they probably polled a bunch of Dems about who they'd like for the GOP. Giuliani is a fervent pro abortion, anti gun liberal Republican. You or I stand a better chance of being nominated.
Which by the way, is absolutely disgusting. They are so afraid of Sarah, even more now since her bus tour has become known.
Oh boy... either we have a lot of stupid people in one party or too smart ones on the other side trying to divert our attention as if distracting a pack of wild dogs chasing a rabbit (the ideal candidate).
Remember people, whatever we get, MUST be new blood! (no more old farts the likes of McCaca, Romney, Bushes of ANY kind and the others... they all had their shot, it's time for them to disappear and let the new ones come in.)
Its Sarah or Bust. I don’t care anymore. If they throw Sarah under the bus, then I’ll throw them under the bus as well
Guliani’s campaign crashed and burning in 2008.
I expect a repeat.
If the Republican nominee is a strong conservative, perhaps making Rudy the running mate would help. But Giuliani has no business being at the top of the ticket.
If the GOP wins the Presidency, he can be Attorney General.
LMAO!!! Yeah, suuuuure he is! : D
It's all about them pushing a RINO as our nom. As I have stated, Rudy was a terrific leader during 9/11, survived it and took leadership without hesitation and hated these bastards as much as we did....and still do.
I cannot support his POTUS run; however, regarding National Defense, he is a bulldog. He, like us, still have 9/11 in our minds on a daily basis. They know this and will attempt to use it against us.
They have ALL barrels pointed towards Sarah, our only hope for this nation. It is now "ANYONE BUT SARAH.
Game on....bring it.
Rudy led in 07 too, by the time 08 rolled around he already bottomed out. When Sarah enters the race, it will be her, Cain, and those others.
Amen to that. They all know we hate mittens so now they are digging through their garbage to see “who may float”.
I would not be surprised if they start bringing up 9/11 and how Rudy was Americas mayor during that awful terrorist attack.
We need to be on guard, at all times.
For me, it’s Sarah or nothing. I keep praying for God to tell Sarah she MUST run, pray He forces her to, lol.
I don’t see any other way out.
