The survey, released Monday, indicates that 27 percent of Republicans nationwide support Perry for their party’s nomination, with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who’s making his second bid for the White House, at 14 percent. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin follows at ten percent, with Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani at nine percent, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who’s making his third bid for the presidency, at six percent. Every one else listed on the questionnaire registered in the low single digits. Another national poll, like Gallup, last week that shows Texas Governor Rick Perry as the front-runner. The momentum has been clear and it is all P...

His old campaign staff is mostly scattered to the winds. He still owes nearly $3 million from his 2008 presidential bid. Despite those obstacles, Rudy Giuliani says he’s seriously considering another White House run — a bid that would look dramatically different than his campaign four years ago. “My thinking is that I still have time to decide. So I’m going to take it … the race is developing very slowly compared to, maybe not necessarily historical races, but compared to 2007, which is what I’m used to,” he told POLITICO. “My focus when I sit down to decide will be, do I think any of the p...

"That's a good strategy for both sides," Giuliani told reporters Thursday at an event hosted by the Seacoast Republican Women in Hampton, N.H. "That's what a good poker player does." The White House and Congress are battling over a deficit-reduction plan to keep the government from defaulting on its loans by Aug. 2.

It may be worth highlighting how ripe an opportunity this is: The politics on the Hill are changing. It probably comes as no surprise that Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC) and Jim McGovern (D-MA) would like to end the Afghanistan war, but their “Afghanistan Exit and Accountability Act” has brought on co-sponsors like Tea Party stalwarts Reps. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and Justin Amash (R-MI). This means that in the days and weeks to come, there will be Republicans on television and radio making the case for withdrawal. That could have a profound effect on where the debate goes from here. On t...

But, maybe he is lying low, unlike the last time. On Monday’s hour-long “Piers Morgan Tonight” interview, Rudy Giuliani tells Piers Morgan he’s more likely to run if Sarah Palin runs in 2012. “The more Republicans in which I can show a contrast…the better chance that I have,” he said, describing himself as a moderate. But if he does run, Giuliani says he would concentrate on winning Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, sites of the first presidential nominating contests. In 2008 Giuliani ...

He did not acquit himself well. Giuliani argued, for example, that criminal defendants aren’t tried “at the scene of the crime.” Criminal defendants are almost always tried in the jurisdictions where their crimes took place (not at the actual crime scene, of course). Giuliani’s insistence on misstating basic criminal procedure showed that he was twisting to score points against the administration. This is inappropriate political use of terrorism issues. But Chris Wallace roasted Giuliani—with quotes from Rudy Giuliani. Of prosecuting the 1993 World Trade Center bombers, ...

His biggest challenge was persuading the City Council to overrule the voters, but he managed that trick thanks to his absolute mastery of money and politics in the Big Apple. And on election day, even his $100 million campaign barely overcame popular anger over the repeal of term limits. Personally, I wish the Council had just given Bloomberg another term. Don’t get rid of term limits. Just do like the Romans used to do in an emergency. Name Bloomberg “dictator,” an extraconstitutional position with extraordinary authority but limited duration. Then you keep the rules, you just make an exception. And I’m sure Bloomberg would be willing to be addressed as...

Rudy is behind if he runs against Democrat Attorney General Andrew Cuomo but by only 7 points. It’s a knockout for Rudy Giuliani if he’s the Republican candidate for governor in New York next year running against incumbent Democrat David Paterson. But if Andrew Cuomo is Giuliani’s opponent, chalk up a win for the Democrat. At least that’s the way it looks in the summer of 2009. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state shows Giuliani beating Paterson by 22 points, 55% to 33%. Eight percent (8%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent are undecided.

The move appears to end a stalemate that last July prompted the US Attorney in Maryland to force Ranbaxy to release the audits, which were conducted by Parexel and that Ranbaxy claimed were privileged information. In the interim, the FDA banned nearly 30 Ranbaxy meds from entering the US after the FDA cited two Indian plants for inadequate controls and procedures.

This is the second time the former New York City mayor has acted as a paid consultant to a troubled drugmaker. He also worked for Purdue Pharma, which was fined for its Oxycontin marketing, and he helped negotiate a deal with federal prosecutors that kept company execs out of jail.

When asked by interviewer John Roberts whether he thought he was better qualified than McCain to run the country, Giuliani said, “I thought I was best-qualified to be president.” (The video is here, and this exchange comes around the 3:12 mark).

It’s no surprise that it takes a man with zero national security and foreign policy experience to defend the policies of John McCain and President Bush. The facts are that the policies President Bush has pursued and Senator McCain would continue, have not made us safer. We’re bogged down in Iraq with no end in sight and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan – the people who actually attacked us on 9/11 – have regrouped and are plotting new attacks.

The “one” he believes would go on offense against terrorism, is GOP presidential contender John McCain. On “defense,” in Giuliani’s opinion: Democrat Barack Obama.

Rudy may wish to run for Governor of New York and decline. During his campaign for the Presidency, Rudy made the case for “originalist” judges and was the most outspoken on the need for conservative appointments to the federal bench.

What does McCain say? Nothing glowing but promotes a $5,000 family tax credit to purchase health insurance.

Absentee and early voters have broken 2/3′rds for Giuliani making tracking polls hard to decipher. The Giuliani campaign is working hard and is confident of a win tomorrow despite the reports of Rudy’s demise by the MSM.

Giuliani internal polling shows a close race with the Mayor leading by a few points. Romney is in second place and McCain has lapsed into third place - hence the Crist endorsement tonight. The Giuliani campaign is counting on early banked votes to propel him to victory and this partly explains his fall in the polls - Florida voters have already voted for him. This is a very fluid race and undoubtedly there may be more surprises or attacks between Romney and McCain.

Rudy Giuliani is in South Florida today and spoke this morning in front of a Hispanic Evangelical Mega-Church, God at El Rey Jesus, where former Florida (remember the CHADS) Secretary of State, US Representative Katharine Harris attended. Harris was not the best United States Senate candidate in 2006 (in fact, her campaign was a disaster) but she continues a high GOP profile in Florida. Key Quotes from the Mayor: “I have deep respect for the power of faith,’’ Mr. Giuliani said at the church. “I received a religious education for most of my life, until the time I attended l...

Best Quote: Rudy Giuliani’s quip on Ronald Reagan showing up in a Romney attack ad about illegal immigration. If the Gipper were still around, “he’d  be in one of Mitt’s negative commercials.” The Winners: Rudy Giuliani - best on clear policy initiatives. There is definite substance behind his rhetoric.

At left is inventor Dean Kamen. After Michael Dukakis donned the tank hat and was ridiculed, political types have shunned the prop supported photo opportunity. Fred Thompson hesitated/refused to put on a Fireman’s hat and was criticized - unfairly so. But, Rudy, the other day in New Hampshire decided against climbing aboard a Segway. He almost did. Today he is racing them. The GOP Presidential campaign IS wide open.

Earth to Rudy Giuliani: Why didn’t you blow off Iowa? You knew it was going to be hard to compete because, Rudy, you are a moderate urban Catholic who does not play well to the rural Evangelical Christian crowd. Your candidacy is a tough sell there no matter what you would have done. Why bother spending any money or time? You could have blown it off like McCain. And, McCain still polled better and you would not have received the indignity of losing to Ron Paul. Now, you are off to New Hampshire where the players are Mitt Romney and John McCain.

Rudy blows New Hampshire? Giuliani has done more in New Hampshire than he should have. The state has always been leaning to Mitt Romney and John McCain. They have home field advantage. John McCain beat President Bush in the 2000 GOP primary and has been campaigning there ever since. Mitt Romney has a New Hampshire vacation home and was the Governor of neighboring Massachusetts.

Now, having said that, everything ultimately gets viewed in a political light, but I don’t think that would be the most appropriate thing right now to talk about.
