Hotline: Spartanburg Straw Poll Tonight: A Preview

In the Spartanburg, South Carolina Straw Poll, Fox News is reporting:

Rudy Giuliani 108

Duncan Hunter 80

John McCain 64

Mitt Romney 53

This shows the popularity of Mayor Giuliani.

Rudy Giuliani is NOW the front runner for the GOP nomination for President.

A WIN for the Mayor……

Update #1 - From fox News @ 10 PM EST With 71 of 75 precincts reporting

Rudy Giuliani 123

Duncan Hunter 110

John McCain 86

Sam Brownback 68

Mitt Romney 59

Update #2 11:15 PM EST

Spin from South Carolina:

A spokesman for Giuliani said the numbers, while small overall, were encouraging.

“I think this is one small event of a very, very, long campaign, but it’s a clear indication that the mayor’s message of leadership and his proven track record is resonating,” Elliot Bundy said.

McCain’s third place finish is not a reflection of his strength in South Carolina, campaign spokesman Adam Temple said.

“There’s going to be many polls between now and election day,” Temple said.

Romney’s campaign said it was pleased with the former governor’s finish.

“I think we outperformed where we’ve been, where all the public polls that had us at 5 and 6 percent,” spokesman Terry Sullivan said.

Flap’s assessment:

A definite WIN for Giuliani in a southern conservative state where he was NOT supposed to do well according to the pundits.

A definite thumping to Mitt Romney and John McCain

An uplift for Duncan Hunter of California - is Hunter emerging as another top tier candidate?

Is Giuliani really the president we want? I think not.

Giuliani's latest was to state that anyone that is not a liberal by the age of 20 has no heart; anyone that is not a conservative by the age of 40 has no brain. As a liberal, I find this statement quite insulting.

I would also like to point out that Giuliani ran for mayor of New York City on the Liberal ticket at age 50. Does this suggest that Giuliani has no brain? Or, is it merely firmly wedged in his colon? Is he insulting the entire American population by assuming that no one will remember that HE WAS A LIBERAL DURING HIS ENTIRE TENURE AS MAYOR?

Is Giuliani really the president we want to lead our country? Consider a recent statement of his.

Giuliani's latest was to state that anyone that is not a liberal by the age of 20 has no heart; anyone that is not a conservative by the age of 40 has no brain. As a liberal, I find this statement quite insulting.

I would also like to point out that Giuliani ran for mayor of New York City on the Liberal ticket at age 50. Does this suggest that Giuliani has no brain? Or, is it merely firmly wedged in his colon? Is he insulting the entire American population by assuming that no one will remember that HE WAS A LIBERAL DURING HIS ENTIRE TENURE AS MAYOR?

So, for those who want a liberal candidate, Giuliani is no longer the one; for those who want a conservative candidate, he has never been one before, why the sudden change? And, for those who want an experienced candidate, is mayor of New York City really enough experience to run this country?

Scott,

Giuliani was quoting one of Winston Churchill's more famous political witticisms. It's not intended as a serious analysis, but an amusing generalization - from a conservative perspective - that is that 'liberals' are more idealistic (i.e. guided by emotion, or the heart) while 'conservatives' are more realistic (guided by reason, or the brain). The joke takes these definitions to the extreme.

We should all hope that our children are 'liberal,' in that they have wild imaginations, and a natural caring for others. As one grows older they generally become more 'conservative' in all areas of life - this comes with experience.

For Rudy, he has become more conservative in many ways - both in politics and in temperment - because of his life experiences.

I think we will start to see Rudy drop in the polls as more people find out that he is a traitor. Rudy was knighted by the British Empire. The Constitution says anyone who accepts an honour of nobility shall not be allowed in Public office and loose their citizenship to the U.S. Rudy you need to apologize to the American people for your deception.
