Guilliani for President??? …… I could've had a V8!!

Somebody PLEASE tell this man to quit……..The only people not being honest this election are the runs running his campaign!!

Rudy has absolutely NOTHING to offer America other than use of the "911″ metaphor. That always gets some kind of result. 911 happened, it is no longer an issue; we've paid off the family survivors, based on some kind of formula that calculated the life o fa stock broker as worth more than a waiter. Go home and retire Rudy, then move to Florida.

I hear you and agree with you on Bush. But you can't hold all republicans responsible for Bush. Bush isn't a Republican, he is a Federalist - Communist. This doesn't mean that Rudy, Romney, Tancredo, McCain, and Paul are Republican. Paul is the only one I see that shows any slight hint of being a true Republican. Anyhow, there are many things going on in the system of politics that we don't understand. There are many circles that state democrats are pushed forward by the elite to raise the taxes from the republicans that were previously pushed forward by the elite to destroy other countries that didn't agree with them. It's all a game in the end.

What exactly are Rudy's qualifications to be President? His only claim to fame is he was Mayor on 9/11 and even then what he did was questionnable afterwards. He had 7 years to provide firefighters with radios that worked and he didn't. 343 firefighters died needlessly that terrible day because they couldn't hear the orders to evacuate. He goes against suggestions and places the command centre in the same place that was previously attacked because it was supposedly easy for him to walk to?? He said at the convention that he stood at ground zero and said supposedly "I thank God George Bush is President". There are new stories he was against expanding health care in New York until he himself was diagnosed with his cancer and then his ideas changed. He was a sitting member on a task force but never attended any of the meetings and then quit. He claims he was at ground zero more than the rescue workers. Emergency people are suffering with related illnesses from air quality that they were told was okay but wasn't. He made some awful quick decisions to boost Kerik up the ladder to success from seemingly obscurity and then push his name forward for head of Homeland Security. His beliefs are almost opposite to what republicans say they believe, until they started changing so he could appeal for votes from republicans. Sorry, but in my estimation he is the least qualified of all to be President and a bigger flip flopper than anyone.

He's seems electable, but has not been vetted by the press or his opponents yet. When the warts come out then lets talk.

Rotten rudy is perfect for the gop!
He's fake, phony, and greedy all
the neat qualifications for their
nomination! Wait I left out humble,
arrogant, and stubborn aka stupid!

Try marrying your cousin as well
to relate to the backwards Akron
enablers! Being a Buckeye I know
how troubling that is! Oh well theres
one or two in every crowd!

Laughed when one guy wrote if rudy
gets elected he's moving to another
Country! Yeah good luck if asked
just say Good Day I'm Canadian!
Thanks to the gop and some dems
we are incognito in once friendly
lands! Greedy Rat Bastards!

When I look in his eyes, I see a snake.

It is ironically that Rudy and Judy will possible run our country. New Yorkers hated their unification and their morals. After they move to White House all Americans will understand us. I don't need to say a lot about Rudy's performance as a Mayor: comparable to Mike Bloomberg's he is in negative zone.

I guess I proved my point BDoyle, the libs don't want to hear it.
Sodam and Gomorrah felt the same I would say.

Noone I know is even considering Guiliani.

Vicki from Akron:

You got a great sense of humor. Even think of doing stand-up comedy?

The world, and now the USA, is in a downhill spiral thats out of control. Face it, a higher power than mankind is needed now.
Yes I know, the libs don't want to hear that.

to mike panama city fl,, As I said before I am a conservative and I will not be voting for Rudy,, I feel that I do my best to be informed and learn about the people I wish to vote for as you claim to do also. If I wish to vote another republican into office after " THE LAST ONE " we had that is my one vote choice to do as an american. I live in an area of PA that is pretty much the same as you described with the exception that the democrats run everything and are in controll. Propery taxes are accessed on what seems like a yearly basis and are squeezing us all dry to fund progressive ideas that never pan out for the tax payer. I guess I'm trying to say its a matter of location and perspective on what makes a person think or vote a certain way. I'm sure thats what you meant to say in between all the lines of junk you just wrote

I just read the article on Rudy saying to conservatives that I will chose conservative judges .

What bothers me about this is that Rudy is obviously not a right winger but he wants to act like one , Rudy is obviously more of a liberal republican

He is not trutful how can you vote for somebody like this , Havent we had enough of BUSH

and didnt bush do the same thing for the conservative christian vote , go out on promise and campaign like a conservative when he obviously was not

I now believe that most people who are republican are simply misinformed and dont really follow the news or nothing ,but vote repblican jsut because their neighbours do or the 1200 year grandpa has always voted republican .

That is not the right way to cast a vote ,its not just a punchcard where you just nominate somebody , YOU need to CLEARLY know what the candidate stands for , look at the situation in the country and be honest about it ,which alot folks simply wont do .

Bush promised alot for Florida but now we got the shaft , the economy is down , the housing market is on of the worst in the country .

I live in the panhandle where it is very conservative around here and people are just misinformed .

The economy around here is way down , their are no jobs period .
Are you telling me you are going to put a repubican in office right after bush's mess ,all you are going to get is the same mess from the bush years if you vote for Guilliani , Romney etc or Republican period .

I think Reagan said if a candidate has 80 percent thinking in line with what you believe , then vote for him. Hillary supporters have to decide whether or not to accept she's a bit more into war than the others, just as Guiliani supporters have to decide whether or not to accept his stance on abortion. We voters decide which issues are dealbreakers and which we can live with.

This guys has no credibility, its a shame the best person the republicians have is Giuliani???? what a joke…

Lets find out how he helped the men & women who are suffering from 9/11 related illnesses! Giuliani is an extension of Bush! dont vote for Giuliani!!!!

Your headline is false.

Your study shows 60% believe Giuliani has the best chance to defeat a Democrat (electability) but only 29% currently choose Giuliani. So more people are voting for the best candidate than electability.

CNN, why do you want people to believe Republicans aren't voting for the best candidate?

Twenty-nine per cent approval? That means SEVENTY-ONE per cent of Nevada Republicans would NOT vote for him! I realize that there are many of each party who will vote for that candidate no matter his qualifications (isn't that how we got into this mess in the first place?) but this man has more nefarious things in his past than Capone.
I'm really tired of these daily polls any way…why can't they tell us that of 1000 Republicans polled by phone, or was it 500, or 2000? In any case, it is always a SMALL minority and they get a big news story from it. I'd love to see the polls STOPPED for about two weeks, and then see what is really going on. I just cannot believe any sane person would vote for this creep, but I said the same thing in '04 about Bush/Cheney, and I was right!

Many peole consider this election to be critical to our nations future. I agree with this but, our choices for a president bring us the same old BS people that have destroyed our country. The only contender that could really help our country is Ron Paul yet, he is not even being considered by the GOP because corporate America is not going to allow him to be elected. Same goes for Dennis Kucinich. These two are the kind of people we need leadig our country. I received a survey in the mail from the Republican Senatorial Committee and one of the questions was which republican would I consider voting for in 2008 for president. Ron Paul was not even listed as a choice!
Either Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul will be getting my vote. I will not vote a party line ever again just to see our country destroyed.

This man is joke. It shows the stupidity in this country. Who would vote for this man? he been a mayor once. Ofcourse the morons that live here did vote W in twice. Well, at least the second time anyway. If Rudy gets elected I will move from this country.

Giuliani's campaign is headed to nowhereville and his last stop will be worse than Howard Deans scream. Mostly because the image of Guiliani in a dress screaming is much worse than Dean screaming yah just as the microphone finally cuts back on.

This guy can't keep his family together unless you consider keepin it in the family as 'together'. Oh yah, that didn't work either. Oh well, three wives and no kids that will support your claim of being a family values guy. Please do tell how this guy is even in the Republican thoughts. His numbers are about tank faster than capital in any business George W Bush has run into the ground.

Tom from albuquerque NM,,,, my conservative values would not allow me to vote for Rudy,, Explain how your liberal values allow your love -in for hillary . your endless comments on her greatness are wasted by that fact that she might be the least or close to the least qualified candidate running on your side of the fence. All the big words in the dictionary cant help you avoid that fact. Hillary is the closest thing the dems have that resembles George Bush. Are you a closet republican ??

The only person I think can give Hilliary a close race is Mike Huckabee. For goodness sakes, you don't get the Religion Right votes when the videos come out with you asking for a divorce on TV with your girlfriend at your side. If Guilani gets the Republican nomination, I think it will divide the Religious Right to an Independent candidate.

humm, seems like most comments in here are from scared people!!

If Rudy Guiliani is electable, I'm Santa Claus.

Electability? What a crock. If Rudy is the Republican choice, I will be voting for a Democrat. Hillary is better than Rudy, and that's not saying much. Honestly, after watching the debates, I think Bush may be smarter than Rudy, and that's not saying much either.

Wow, I thought only the democrats could field such a slate of tragic candidate front-runners from the last few elections for president! I guess it is now the republicans time, although I still can't understand how the village idiot won two elections…

Run, Rudy, Run! That would be a great present for the democrats and the media and late night comedians. With the number of skeletons he has, stick a fork in him, he is done! If you thought Kerik was his only flaw, you don't know Rudy! This is truly just the tip of the iceberg…

God save us from opportunists like this alleged 9/11 guy. He would be nothing without the events of 9/11 which made him very, very rich and famous. And now he wants the White House.
Give us all a break.

Why would anyone elect someone who dresses in drag as a hobbie?

I don't give a crap how electable a candidate is; I just want to know where he stands on the issues, and the poll shows that Nevada is a mirror for the trend in the Republican race. It's a wide open field and ANYONE could secure the nomination. The second-tier candidates are GAINING on the frontrunners and that means that the public is starting to realize that the top candidates in the polls are all smoke and mirrors, the same old schtick with no real solutions. The so-called second-tier candidates like Ron Paul, Kucinich, and Joe Biden are all picking up steam and are much better candidates! Come on, CNN, at least acknowledge the truth and stop focusing on the Guliani and Romney!

Who is Ron Paul? He has nothing in experience! McCain and Thompson can kiss it Good-Bye.

Someone with integrity needs to highly recommend Bernie Kerick to Rudy as his VP, and keep insisting to the point of personally vouching for him based on his impeccable credentials.

Bloggers for Bernie as VP!!!!

Rudy was only a Mayor running the biggest city in America! Taking down the mob, fixing Times Square & he wasn't in office during the First WTC bombing. WHAT IS HILLARY"S experience? She was First Lady that used that to become a Senator of a State where she didn't live.
This blog is a bunch of self-righteous, judgmental people who can't get their facts straight. Rudy is a great person who has a family life like most people, dysfunctional. Bill & Hillary aren't exactly Ozzie & Harriet.

With all respect to commentors , especially TOM IN ALBUQUERQUE , who avoid naming specific accomplishments that their candidates have , your posts are bordering on hyperbole if you don't state what kind of leadership your candidate has on his or her resume. (And Im talking about executive experience, not Senatorial committee work, sitting in on "hearings" or programs begun out of tax hikes)

Either way a liberal is in the White House. The Repubs clearly do not mind liberalism as long as it's "THEIR LIBERAL". You'll never catch the Dems picking Zell Miller for the nomination to combat a true conservative.

The Repubs have shown their true colors, they will compromise their own values and principles to win.

Any conservative who supports Rudy is a COWARDLY SELL OUT. I never knew that the threat of losing could turn a conservative to a liberal lover BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE SEEING.

GET THE RUDY IN DRAG PHOTO'S OUT, this isn't going to be that competitive.

Being Mayor of the city of New York is probably the best experience of all the candidates running next year, since NY is largest economy in the US !

Leading New York City, especially having been a success in the job, makes Rudy Guiliani the most qualified. When he was elected to lead NY it was considered ungovernable. Specifically, Guiliani cut overall crime by 56%, and murder by 66%. NY was once the crime capital of the country; under him it became the safest large city in the US.

He reduced the # of people on welfare by over 600,000.He cut over 20 city taxes and turned the city's $2.3 million deficit into a billion $ surplus. Those are just the highlights.

No candidate is going to give you 100 percent of what our ideal President would be, but he comes very very close for a lot of Americans.

Does Giuliani look like Gollum (from Lord of the Rings) or is it just me?

Wake up, Nevada - they're all a bunch of losers! Rudy Make Bugsy look like a choirboy.

I still don't understand how people think Rudi is actually quailfied!! He was a MAYOR! ONLY A MAYOR!! What foreign policy experience does he have?? Please someone tell me so I can understand where these Republicans are coming from …

Don't worry, he is not electable. It's just what the corporate media is telling us. Nowadays I'm even beginning to wonder about the posters being "posers" from the media. Don't worry Pam, a revolt will happen if Rudy wins. But I seriously doubt he has ANY support other than paid advertisements and hobos. Just look at the majority of the comments on ALL his pages, pretty negative. I'd say he has like 4% of the national vote.

Good news for Rudy, at least for now. Soon the pandora box of Rudy's intrigues and misfeasances will fully open and his real self will be laid bare. I don't think republicans will like what they see. Yet in desperation they might still go with him for lack of another winnable candidate.

Its funny. Guiliani is the least electable of anyone running. Married four time, his own kids not talking to him, pro war, pro choice, pro gay, corrupt and sleazy, no real experience. . . who exactly does he appeal to? The big pro-war gay vote? Republican abortion clinics? Anti-family Catholics? The only reason he's a supposed front-runner is because CNN has decided to only talk about him and Hillary.

The fact that this absolute fraud is even being considered seriously for our nation's highest office is an outrage. This self-proclaimed crusader against terrorism dud absolutely nothing to prevent a second attack after the first World Trade Center bombing attempt in 1993. 8 years later, this self-described great administrator didn't even ensure that police and fire radios were in sync! So again, after 9/11 he did absolutely nothing except be visible in the streets and grab onto the issue of terrorism for his own political gain. Giuliani is no more qualified to be President than was George W. Bush. In fact, electing Giuliani would be exactly like giving Bush a third term: Same old cronyism; same old sucking up to the rich; same old lies, distorttions, and spin; same old stubbornness; same old failed economic, trade, and foreign policy; same old war. Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, John McCain, Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, Mike Huckabee, John Edwards, or yes, even Hillary Clinton are FAR better suited for the presidency than Giuliani. Get smart, people, and DUMP this phony self-centered egotist and pretender! As President, he would be an unmitigated disaster, and we cannot afford two George W. Bushes back to back!

Yeap, as gullible as the American electorat is Giuliani just needs to keep mouthing 9-11 and people will flock to him like scared sheep.

If Rudy is what we are considering "electable" then this nation is in a world of hurt. The very fact that some would consider this unscrupulous liar, lacking in character and integrity, a viable candidate to be our president is evidence that we are indeed a nation in decline. May God have mercy on US.

Rudy Giuliani is not remotely electable. He is a Bush clone only worse. Out of the current Republican pool the only one who would defeat Hillary Clinton is Ron Paul. Not only would he win, he would destroy her. He would sweep the anti-war rug out from under her, and secure many fiscal conservative independents. Giuliani offers the worst of every platform. He wants amnesty. He is a big government tax and spender. He is terrible on civil liberties and human rights. He is pro war and interventionism. He would in sum result in the complete moral, financial, and diplomatic bankruptcy of our country.

I still don't understand how people think Rudi is actually quailfied!! He was a MAYOR! ONLY A MAYOR!! What foreign policy experience does he have?? Please someone tell me so I can understand where these Republicans are coming from …
