That doesn't make him any less of a RINO than he has shown to be in the past.
There is NO way Rudy is doing that well in the south.
Giuliani proves himself Mr. September

Rudy is leading in “most”. But not all.
OK, who is motivated and moste LIKELY to go to the polls in the primary? Sure, Rudy may command some support in various segments of “Republicans”, but where is he in the heartland? Is Chicago suddenly going to convert to a Republican stronghold? How about Manhattan? Or Long Beach?
The way I see it, Mitt finishes Rudy's "the one who can beat Hillary" with a clear win in Iowa, and a squeaker in New Hampshire. Fred will top Rudy in both places, then will finish him off in the rest of the states, especially the Southern ones. Rudy's been counting on winning NY and CA, but the liberals will be too focused on the Clinton-Obama race to make trouble for us. He could win those two states, but not by much.
I’m not excited about any of the candidates.
Rudy needs to be tougher about border policy
“In the most recent nationwide poll of Republicans, 30% name Giuliani as their first choice for the party’s nomination, giving him an eight-point lead over second place Fred Thompson who registers 22% support. John McCain is in third place at 18% and Mitt Romney is in fourth at 7%, with the five other announced candidates all polling at 4% or less.”
The article is based on an old poll that ended two weeks ago.
The Rasmassen poll that was just entered on thursday has Thompson leading with 26% against Giuliani’s fall to 20%.
Right now the national leader is Fred Thompson.

Notice,
They are now PARSING INTO SUB GROUPS!
The MSM is struggling to keep Guiliani ahead.
outherners, weekly churchgoers, Protestants, and men — in particular men.
That fits me (all but the married part).
As a likely primary voter...it’s not going to be Rudy whom gets my vote, and I doubt he’ll be getting many of us.
Thanks for the post. I have said all along that Rudy will do better in Dixie than most believe. He was a trooper in 02 and 04 campaigning for GOP congressional candidates there. He’s got to have some chits he can call in from some of those folks. He does not have to even come close to winning the majority of delegates in Dixie to win the nomination. He should win Florida. The perception of Rudy as having the toughness to take on the terrorists in not hurting him either. Plenty of folks also admire him for mixing it up with the jackasses. He’s going to have to downplay his liberal stance on too many issues if he’s going to win. If he does win, he’s going to have to focus on those issues where he resonates with conservatives. I will sleep well at night knowing that the enemies of the USA will have to deal with him. I will not sleep well if Mrs Bill Clinton is Commander-in- Chief. I will definitely not sleep well if she’s backed up by a congress with more jackasses in it.
Dems desperate to suppress FRed’s rise to power.
Go Rudy, Go
I don’t like crossdressing anti-gun, anti-choice, pro-gay candidates. But maybe thats just me!
The fact that a squish municipal mayor is even polling among the top 5 GOP Presidential candidates now is like watching a lead kite fly when it shouldn't be. Given his stands on illegal immigration, the fact that he's even on the radar is a disgrace to the Party.
And, in further obvious news,...the corporate media sucks.
So with all this detailed analysis, what is the predicted outcome by electoral ballot if Rudy is the candidate? The rest of this doesn’t mean a whole lot, but it sure can fill up a page..
He’s a lock in the following subgroups :
Cross dressing
Pro queer
Cousin Marrying
Gun Grabbing
Tax Raisin
Baby Killin
City Dwellin
Just goes to show how inaccurate some polls (and polsters) can be. Rasmussen, for example, shows Mitt Romney at double the Gallup results. In fact, most polls do. I failed to see much explanation in the way this poll was conducted or it’s margin of error as well. Be careful what you read. Just because someone put’s something in print, doesn’t mean it’s true!
