It was obvious to me why Giuliani used this tactic of skipping the first primary states. He was getting all kinds of bad press about wrongly appropriating funds for security for his mistress. He took a couple months off and now no one is talking about it.

Of course, this just postponed the inevitable. Giuliani failing miserably.

It boggles my mind that anyone can support a candidate whose own children won't speak to him, and who broke up with his wife at a press conference! I don't even need to mention his utterly delusional foreign policy positions, or his shameless exploitation of Sept. 11th for personal gain. He is the least conservative candidate of the bunch! His government in New York was big and oppressive. Ask any New Yorker!

Mitt is leading in delegates, popular vote, overall wins, and is the man with the experience, leadership, and morals we need. He will get the job done. He has campaigned everywhere and will united the party.

Romney will win Florida- watch for it- and he will be the nominee.

Anyone who says obama has not played the race card is voting with the race card.

You are terribly incorrect on both statements.

Mayor Guiliani stands alone, the one Republican candidate offering reproductive age Americans a chance to shape one's destiny. If we as young Americans are going to become mothers and fathers, it should be by our own choosing, not because of which party happens to occupy the White House.

Darth Vadik, CA,

Let me guess. You're either an Independent rooting for McCain or a Democrat desperate for McCain's nomination so that Democrats can easily win in November.

I feel like this is one big sporting event for everyone. This isn't the Super Bowl, this is the demise of our constitution, and the vision for a republic that our forefathers scripted for us 200+ years ago.

Our representatives are charged with defending our constitution. We are are a government of the people, not of the party. Look at the platforms, VOTING RECORDS, and listen carefully to the speeches. Get past the rhetoric (looking at the voting record should help you do this) and you should be able to make an informed decision. Please don't think for a moment that the media is interested in providing you with facts. I have literally seen them promote some candidates, while ignoring others. You have to do your own research, and for Gods sake stay away from liberal or conservative rags... very biased.

I have never voted along a party line, but rather for the issues at hand, and how the voting record of the candidate aligns with my constitution. I ignore the hate mongering, and BS that goes along with a campaign.

This election is huge, and I can see an erosion of our constituion, and our freedoms happening before my eyes. Please know what you are voting for, and stop cheering for the candidates as if you are at the Super Bowl. There are some scary folks running for office. Don't abandon our constituion people.

My choice for a candidate is clear, based on FACTS. Is yours?

When Economy Romney says JOBS JOBS JOBS, I got excited about his vision and I am warming up to Mitt.

I am Rudy and I spent all my time and money in Florida and now I am not even going to win. hahahahaha you should have spent that money on some mouth surgery to fix you messed up face. YOUR DONE. Go home and stop playing off 1 thing: 9/11. Leave it to the hero's, which you are NOT.

so basically the rediculously low sample size and huge margin of error make the poll a joke.

A vote for McCain or the Huckster is a vote for the Democrats and economic & international failure.

McCain is just another Sr Senator war veteran like Bob Dole was a sr senator war vet in 1996. Obama/Oprah or the Clintons would have a very big victory against McCain just like Slick did against Dole back in 96.

If anyone undecided will listen with an open mind to Mitt speak, it will only take a few minutes to see that he is brilliant.

The Democratic field is a joke. Obama has been in the senate for 2 or3 years and has no accomplishments. Hillary is trying to use her husband to get elected as the leader of this great country. Thirty five years of experience is such BS. She has zero accomplishments and more scandal than anybody else running for President like campaign finance laws broken in NY & Hsu in the Lincoln bedroom to name a few.

McCain old age is not the biggest problem. He has voted against tax cuts repeatedly because, economically, he is basically a big-government liberal. He is till for de facto amnesty for illegals, he just wants to build a fence first. He blocked the Republican Senate's attempt to appoint strict constructionist judges. No matter how much the media tries to ram McCain down everyone's throats, mainstream conservatives will not support a candidate who has essentially adopted the economic and social principles of the Democratic Party.

Giuliani was a decent mayor, but he hasn't really done much besides be there for 9-11 and be involved in many personal scandals.

Romney is a brilliant man, a man whose record on ethics is totally untarnished, and a strong economic conservative who can steer this country out of recession with short-term and long-term growth measures. No matter what the liberal sources in the media are telling you, Romney is catching on and will be the Republican nominee in '08!

Here's my take.

Romney will get the educated, business savvy voters and those who have been privileged to hear him in person. This guy if phenomenal. He truly has what America needs right now.

Guiliani will come out strong, but his personal life will mess it up for him. If you are undecided, vote for Romney, the vote will go farther.

McCain is a prop. It's the Dem's who want him to win so badly. They can't stand what conservatives stand for and have found the one they can stomach the most. The media is really good with this propaganda stuff.

Huckabee needs to go back and get the college degree and then maybe we can take him seriously....no matter how nice he is.

Fred .... He has the right ideas, just didn't manage his campaign correctly.

of the transplanted New Yorkers I know here in Las Vegas, NONE of them support Rudy and are sick of his use of 9-11 as a campaign issue esp when he could have put the NYC emergency response center in a lot safer location than the World Trade Center which had been previously attacled by al-Qaeda.

and the "Driving Ms. Judy" scandal shows that, although he's is a multimillionair, he want's to use his office like a 17th century prince.

his judgement in most matters seems to be about how much money he can make personally, just like Bush, Cheney and the rest of the current Republican criminal gang in power.

as an independent new yorker, i hope mccain does win the repub nomination. rudy is just power-hungry and corrupt. and since when does being mayor when 9/11 happened make someone a terrrorism expert? all they can talk about is how he "handled 911." handled how? you mean simply becasue he didn't skip town and run away? don't let this lip service get to you – it's all lies and building up something that isn't there. he left office two months after the attacks, went to work for a private security firm, and has been milking 9/11 ever since just like a true snake.

To the people randomly interested in giving polling for Clinton in New York even though this is obviously a poll about Republicans I wanted to say OF COURSE SHE IS WINNING IN NEW YORK?!?!?! How is that a surprising accomplishment. Look at polls of Illinois where Obama wins in every catagory. It is just one of the advantages to be the senator from that state.

Now about the actual article. What is wrong with Giuliani? Did he fall on his head? What moron gave him this plan of his?

I really don't understand how anyone would think that it was a good plan to "wait" for Florida.

I really dislike the guy so I'll be glad when he gets this pie in his face.

McCain is the only not psychopathic Republican running (although I admit I'm a far left leaning populist Democrat). I guess that sort of proves why he is hard to take for some on the far right.

I just hope Romney wins the Republican nomination because then I can be at least pretty sure that we will have a Democrat in the White House.

I couldn't agree with Lev more. If Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee, all of you Republicans that attend the convention should be sure and bring out the flip-flops that you used against John Kerry.

And here's some campaign slogans for you:

Mitt Romney, a candidate for change...just ask him to change his position for you.

Mitt Romney – just another flip-flopper from Massachusetts.

Mitt Romney/John Kerry 2008 – A perfect pair of flip-flops.

"I'm Mitt Romney and I approved and disapproved this message."

As a supporter of getting anything other a Republican in the White House in 2009, I truly hope Romney gets the nomination. McCain scares me a little as he's likeable, sincere, is not a true conservative and I think he truly believes what he says (though I don't agree with his views). He might just have enough of the "right stuff" to beat the first woman or the first black nominee. However, I do not believe that the majority of the country will put the insincere, slippery smooth, deceitful Romney and his religion in the White House. Even though Rudy does stand up for some things I believe in, he's unethical, perhaps a crook and possibly a bit immoral as well. He might be the most fun, but that's not why we elect a President. Huckabee is a Bible thumping conservative in the same vein as Bush and we are partially at war due to those beliefs. Religion has no place in politics, especially right now. Look at the problems in the world at the moment due to various religious beliefs. We need a President that will rule with his head and logic and not his religious "beliefs". The rest of the Republicans are toast.

***Important Message***

The federal reserve is not run by the federal government. It is owned by "national banks" that are owned by private investors. The Board of Directors of these banks are made up of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world. The federal reserve is unconstitutional and was created the same year as the unconstitutional federal income tax. The federal reserve prints money and loans it to our government at interest when in fact the government has the constitutional right to print money interest free. According to a review by the Regan administration, 100% of personal income taxes go to pay the interest on the debt created by the federal reserve, interest that should not even exist. So you have an unconstitutional, illegal, immoral tax to pay for interest on debt that should not bear interest.

When you realize this is true, you will see why Ron Paul is your only choice for freedom in this election.

Hey CNN – why no mention of the Rasmussen poll (out just today) or the other recent polls showing Romney in the lead?

"22% of McCain’s supporters still say there’s a good chance they could change their mind" (the highest among the "big four").

"Among those who are “certain” how they will vote, Romney is the pick for 25%, Giuliani 24%, and McCain 17%."

The report also shows the struggle McCain is having getting the conservative vote. "In Florida, Romney leads among conservative voters, attracting 28% of them. Giuliani is second with 18%"

Report on this.

Rudy Giuliani? Wasn't he the guy that put the command center in the world trade center, knowing that it had been bomb before by terrorists, and was considered at the top of the list of potential targets for future attacks. Wasn't he the guy that insisted that the air, that all of those workers were breathing, that were cleaning it up was safe? He says he was tested, because he was the mayor of the city that was attacked, but doesn't mention how that "test" turned out for all of those families and victims, and firefighters, and policemen.

Mark Hastings,

But it's a very good indication that he can. Wouldn't you agree?

What qualities are most important in a future president? Foremost, he must absolutely defend and protect our constitution. He must be committed to the preservation of our freedom. Next is economic know-how. Without a strong economy, nothing else works. So we need a leader who has experience with today’s global market place. Third, we need a leader who will insist that our laws be enforced, our borders protected, and amnesty will not be given illegals. We need an intelligent leader who is committed to education, research and development, and problem-solving for our energy crisis. We need a man of integrity, one who has personally lived socially conservative values all his life. We need a leader who will restore respect and dignity to the office of president and bring about genuine positive change in Washington. The candidate who best meets these requirements is Mitt Romney. He has my vote!

Rudy should drop out, apologize and endorse Ron Paul. Ron Paul is such an honest person, he will really forgive him and give him the direction he needs.

This is a very small poll with a very high margin of error. There is not meat on this bone.

He should bow out now and save all of us the trouble of seeing him on television; he could do a lot by donating the rest of what he would have spent on his campaign to charity.

Romney has as much chance of winning the presidency as does Mike Malloy (check it out).

...SO PEOPLE JUST DROP IT...

...SPECIALLY IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE REPUBLICANS WAVING THEIR FLIP-FLOPS DURING THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION OF 2004.

GOD, I JUST CANT STAND HYPOCRITES, AND SOME YOU REPUBLICANS ARE JUST SHAMELESS.

The Florida Rasmussen poll posted today is not good new for the dems. Mitti is looking very strong as the undecided get to know him and the field is down to three. The Huckster will be out after Florida so why waste a vote.

Romney is a moderate conservative across the board. He is smart on the economy, opposes amnesty, is pro-family, and is intelligent enough to handle the war and not quickly leave after we have won.

Romney has a very good chance on winning the presidency. Maybe Rudy or Fred will agree to be his VP and the dems will be crying.

mitt.....rmoney...
The only real people that the FLIP-FLOPPER has ever being in contact with
are the ones that he has terminated from the companies that he worked at
as the "mercenary agent" of big business.
You know that he's a fake when you know a real person (like Huckabee).
WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!

42 comments on Rudy's slipping in the polls and 1,000+ on something Obama said!

Will you people stop Blabbing about Ron Paul. He is a radical in sheeps clothing. He is rascist/preduice... no not just because of the newsletters that came out in HIS name "whoops who wrote that"... my behind. But for statements that came out of his own mouth.

Do your research you nuts and dont be stupid

Val Davydov, MA,

The main republican concerns:

1. Opposition to gay marriage (does NOT AFFECT ANYBODY except the two people that chose to get married to each other, AND ITS NOT UP TO YOU TO TELL PEOPLE WHO THEY CAN LOVE AND MARRY, VAL).

2. McCain-Feingold campaign reform bill (this bill did not go far enough, now the wealthy people can buy our elections, WE NEED CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM TO THROW THESE PEOPLE BUYING OUR ELECTIONS OUT ON THE STREET, VAL)

3.McCain-Kennedy amnesty immigration bill (I agree with this one, BUT ITS FAR LOWER ON MY PRIORITIES, you know like the war, economy, education...VAL)

4.Opposition to Bush tax cuts (I checked my paycheck from 8 years ago to the one today, I still pay the same precentage amount as before, SO I DIDN'T GET A TAX CUT, BUT CHEVRON SURE DID, PLUS IT WORKED SO WELL I JUST LOVE THE GAS PRICES, VAL).

GET SOME REAL ISSUES AND STOP VOTING WITH THE MEDULlA OBLONGATA SIDE OF THE BRAIN VAL

Rudy has ethical problems and once he get's close and gloves come off his true character will show and he will go down . I think his new girl toy wanted him to run so she could go to the parties!!

Ron Paul has beaten him and has the class and the character to be a true leader. This word change the Democrats and the Republicans are using McCain and Romney

The only one that has record of change is Ron Paul he actually has a voting record in Congress and a platform that does not change with the wind.

Huckabee needs to get back to the planet Earth.Stop preaching and changing the Constitution to be like the Bible. Our Constitution is just fine if people would read it and understand it. I don't if Mike every read it?

Art wrote: "Rudy has the smartest strategy! and when he does come back next week and trust that he will… He will dominate all his strongholds once again that is the northeast along with illinois and california"

The only reason he is even up in the top 3 in Florida is because of retired transplanted New Yorkers. And yes, it does matter if you skip the 'unimportant states'. I am sure the folks of New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, South Carolina and Michegan may just remember how they were deemed 'unimportant' when it comes to their vote. Darn sure they remember John McCain. ....Rudy who?
Ghouliani is toast.

A phoenix risen from the Ashes with healing tears for America???

LOL!! Rudy? Give me a break!!

He was annointed a year ago as the front runner and he is "putting all his eggs in one basket" – Florida!! And now they are saying he is losing favor in NY!!

Rudy is just a fear-monger – all he has is 9/11!!!

Bye bye Rudy!!

Imagine – soon there may be no political commercials with his sleazy grin!!

McCain was a POW. OK....so somehow that makes him an executive ready to lead? McCain has never governed anything. He's never managed so much as a corner store and now you want to let him manage the biggest employer in the country and the biggest economy in the world. Yeah, that makes sense. In 24 years he's passed like three significant pieces of legislation and each one of those flew in stark contrast to our party's ideals and values....and yet somehow you now want to annoint him as the flag bearer of the GOP. Yeah, that makes sense.

McAmnesty hasn't once (and can't) won a majority of conservative or Republican voters in a single state yet....and yet somehow you think he can rally the party, unite the base, and get enough people out to vote to win the White House in Nov? That's ridiculous.

He barely won in SC, with far less support than he had last time, over a guy who shot himself in the foot repeatedly last week with bone-headed comments about the Confederate flag and changing the Constitution to match God's words. He barely beat the village idiot in another open primary and yet somehow that makes him the clear GOP front-runner? Come on. Romney spanked him by nine points in MI, a state McAmnesty desperately tried to win. He beat him four to one in a neighboring state to AZ. Goodness sakes, every Mormon in NV could have stayed home and Romney still would have won two to one (Do the math. LDS voters only made up 25% of the vote).

Mitt Romney and Giuliani have accomplished far more than McAmnesty can even dream of. They're far more qualified. Both have far more executive leadership experience AND RESULTS!!!

McCain is no leader and he's no Conservative.

It does seem that the race on the republican side is now between Romney and McCain. Of course, this assumes that Rudy does not win Fl. I would be surprised to see Rudy win Fl.

It's also true that McCain is winning nationally against the Democrats and he is even beginning to talk like a conservative. However, I think that either Romney or McCain will beat Hillary in the general election. In most polls, 50% of the country utterly dislikes Hillary and has said that they would not vote for her under any circumstances. If Hillary is the Democratic nominee, Republicans and Independents will vote Republican simply to vote against Hillary.

Come on Dems, do the Republicans a favor and nominate Hillary!

Romney, Romney, Romney. Just because he took the the Olympics and turned them from a turd to a diamond does not mean that he can do the same things with an entire nation. Just because he cleaned up the corruption in the olympics does not mean he can do the same for an entire nation. Just because he turned business after business from lossers to successes does not mean that he can do the same things for an entire nation.

For "TJ":

You stated: ""...The dems and media know that Mitt would crush any liberal socialist on the dem side in a one on one debate...."".

You are absolutely RIGHT:

No Democrat can FLIP-FLOP ON SO MANY SUBJECTS AS your MITT ROMNEY CAN DO IN FEW SECONDS and WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.

Keep on dreaming...

McCain is obviously going to win the nomination and the sooner you blockheads realize it the better our chances in November. Look at the polls nationally. For the last month he is consistantly beating both Clinton and Obama and is the ONLY one to do so.

I find it surprising to even find any favorable comments on this phool.
I know it takes all kinds, however this phool is phony, greedy, and a
coward. We all ready have group (cabal) of COWARDS in the White House.
America aka Land of the Free & Home of the Brave not with the current
gop rats in Power!

Well I guess rudy is perfect for the gop!

Chris January 21, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Wayne….NO..Both sides were polled by same group.

Wrong-o, Chris. From the original article – underlining emphasis is mine:

The sample size of likely Republican voters in the Marist poll was 175, and it carries a margin of error of plus or minus 7.5 percentage points. The sample size for all New York Republicans was 401, and it carries a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points. The Siena poll's margin of error was plus or minus 5 points.

The article is only about Republican preferrence polls – THAT is why the Dermocratic candidates are not discussed.

Romney doesn't need endorsements from corrupt political dealmakers and purchased newspaper editors...he just needs votes from people who support improving our nation, our living standards, our schools, our national security, our government, our image abroad!
Romney 2008-2016 !!

Rudy is going down. He will not win with the people who know him best, the people of NY. As for the people who REALLY know him, the people of NYC, he'll do even worse there at this point. The fact that he happened to be mayor when the city was attacked never really was much of a reason to vote for him anyway, and the way he has shamefully used 9-11 in his campaign is a good reason to vote against him.

Looks like a good year to be a Democrat.

Everyone writes Ron Paul off. But if anyone would wake up to the fact that Dr. Paul never gets mentioned in any papers by any publishers....it is as if he has never been there or existed. Getting 5 percent of the vote or so would surely go up if anyone heard of him......but it won't happen with the press (broadcasting or print) in the country today......and that is a shame and maybe a crime.....If he got half the attention that Romney, McCain Guli and the Huck gets he would really be the talk of the country. He is the only one with a different answer for the country......knowing that he can't full fill all he would like in trimming the government and bring the troops home. But certainly a different idea much of which really needs done. Just my opinion....like most......

Please, please, PLEASE, Republicans out there.

Vote for any of your candidates but Guliani. He is an embarrassment!

I am voting for MITT ROMNEY!!!!!

Mitt has not been in Washington for years like John McLaim, Clinton and Obama.

Mitt has held executive positions as a Govenor and in private business, Obama, Clinton and John McLaim have only worked in Washington they do not have a clue about private business or the American economy.

Mitt is a conservative that’s why the media hates him; John McLaim is a liberal just look who he associates with Kennedy, Feingold, the gang of 14, ect. and that’s why the media loves John McLaim.

Mitt is against amnesty for illegal aliens; Obama, Clinton and John McLaim are for amnesty for illegal aliens.

Mitt is for tax cuts, Obama, Clinton and John McLaim are against tax cuts and want to raise our taxes.

Mitt is for conservative judges, Obama, Clinton and John McLaim are for liberal judges.

Mitt wants to free Americans and American business from the federal government Obama, Clinton and John McLaim want big government and are responsible for big government we have.

Mitt will fight to protect this country and build a strong military; Obama, Clinton and John McLaim stood by when al-Qaeda attacked our interests in the 1990 and the 1980s.

Mitt Romney is the right change for America

Vote for Mitt!!!

MITT IS NOW LEADING IN THE POLLS IN FLORIDA!!!!!

VOTE FOR MITT FOR REAL CHANGE!!!!

who are these Morons that believe the polls?Can I sell you a bridge?You seem more like wishful thinkers.lol

Hmm... maybe you can't win an election by using 9/11 as your sole platform.

On the democratic voter dilemma that black women are facing ,i say
its not a a vote about race or gender its a vote for the most " UNIQUE"
the most "GENUINE "person who is my vote and hope and pray it
is yours !

OBAMA 100%

I feel sorry for you republicans. What a group to pick from.

As Bill Clinton would say "give me a break"........this guy is a copy of George Bush, using 9/11 and fear....hey Rudy !, haven't you realize???...it doesn't work anymore.
And as someone pointed out, even Ron Paul is doing better than him!!!!!!!!..ha.

I think its pretty sad to see that after Thompson did McCain's bidding to divide the social conservatives in SC. Now McCain's camp says that Nixon was right..."Thompson is not very smart." Talk about throwing someone under the bus. McCain needs Thompson as his VP. If I were Fred I would endorse Mitt.

It has been pointed out by news sources not vested in a McCain ticket and guaranteed defeat at the hands of a Democrat that McCains glorious run is in for trouble since his victories were in states that let Democrats and Independents vote for the Republican or Democrat candidate. McCain has drawn larger amounts of votes from independents and Democrats, however his support from the base is significantly lower then other Republican candidatesand that is something the Republican candidate cannot afford to have happen.

Nice run McCain but like all "good" things it will soon come to an end.

On the Democratic side in the New York poll, Clinton leads Obama 48%-23% followed by Edwards at 10%. Nineteen percent are undecided. In Connecticut, Clinton leads Obama, 41%-27%.

shame on you cnn

Based on the Democratic results of the same poll, Obama leads in only 2 categories – Afro-American and 18-44 year olds.

She won in every other category:

Upstate
New York City
Suburbs
Men
Women
White
Latino
White Catholic
Jewish
Liberal
Moderate
Conservative
Not college
College

45 or older
1st time voter in Dem. Primary

Not so....

The Democratic candidate that the fiscally conservative, social centric Democrat or independent favors is John Edwards.

If John Edwards doesn't get the top ticket for the Democratic Party (which is unlikely because the ultra-liberals are flocking to Obama and Clinton) then those folks will likely cast their vote for the next best alternative to a Hillary or Obama corination. In that event–McCain, Huckabee, or Paul would have the best shot at collecting the most swing voters.

I happen to be one of those possible crossovers–and many of my colleagues feel similarly. An Obama or a Clinton ticket for the Democrats–will push a lot of Edwards supporters over to the next best alternative–perhaps even the current mayor of New York.

Florida is the gateway state to Super tuesday, winning there will smooth the path to winning the most delegate sweet states come Feb 5th.
This year's primary calender is unprecedented in U.S history so it requires an unprecedented strategy. The mere fact that Rudy took this risk shows his courage to deliver on his promises and make hard decisions when it matters.

Sorry, but Rudy has too much personal baggage to be our President. Everyone makes mistakes, yes, and claiming responsibility for them is wonderful, but our standards have to be higher for POTUS. His numbers have been diving since the Judith security thing and the pending Bernie Kerik trial looms like a dark cloud above his head.

His apologies for his many lapses in judgment just aren't going to cut it with the majority of seniors in FL. nor with the rest of the country.

Does Rudy ever take that fake grin off his face?

I am a Republican and will NEVER VOTE for McCain – he has a full wagon of baggage that Republicans are concerned about (his opposition to marriage amendment, Gang of 14, McCain-Feingold campaign reform bill, McCain-Kennedy amnesty immigration bill, and his opposition to Bush tax cuts).

I do admire him for his service to our country – he is a true hero, but this doesn't mean he is that true leader America needs at the time of economic instability.

Keep in mind McCain appeals mostly to independents, which means that his win in general is very questionable since independents will more than likely vote for a democrat in general.

Romney 08! Romney all the way!

FL election is January 29th not Feb. 5th with the Super Tuesday states.

Chris, get over it. It's a discussion about the Republican race. It is not just about Clinton and Obama. I am an independent (ex-dem) and continue to look at all candidates.

Rudy's strategy of not competing in the early states is complete stupidity. Put a fork in Rudy's campaign. He is DONE!

Rudy has the smartest strategy! and when he does come back next week and trust that he will... He will dominate all his strongholds once again that is the northeast along with illinois and california.
the primary primaries are simply a popularity boost and news flash Rudy didnt need that ask the same abouth huckabee and romney and things will become clear. Even if 1 in a billion MCcain wins the republican nod, it will be plain pointless because we all know he would lose the fresh Obama and savvy Clinton
Rudy has the experience, the aptitude and the attitude to be a strong President.
Vote for him Florida; once he wins there he will be unstoppable. A phoenix risen from the Ashes with healing tears for America.
A Republican Strategist From Ca

Monday, January 21, 2008:

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds Mitt Romney with a slight lead in Florida’s Republican Presidential Primary. John McCain and Rudy Giuliani are close behind in what may develop into a three-man race. It’s Romney at 25%, McCain at 20%, and Giuliani at 19%. Romney has picked up seven points over the past week while McCain and Giuliani each inched up a point.

Additionally, Among those who are “certain” how they will vote, Romney is the pick for 25%, Giuliani 24%, and McCain 17%.

One more thing. McCain and Romney lead nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll. It’s McCain 25%, Mitt Romney 19%, Mike Huckabee 15%, Fred Thompson at 10% and Rudy Giuliani at 10%. This is very good news for Romney and very bad news for Giuliani.

Wayne....NO..Both sides were polled by same group.

Polls mean nothing anyway, so who cares what the polls say, the pollsters just put there 2 cents in for the polls anyway, so does the idiots at tne media.

This is surprising! I mean, after all, I was really looking forward to getting a microchip implant in my forehead. Oh and that one world nation with a world government and the end of the United States as we know it. That sounded great too! bummer...I want to be a slave!!

Anyone who disagrees with me should vote for Ron Paul since he is the only candidate who fights for your freedom.

If I hear another thing about Ron Paul being this great candidate, my head will explode.

He hasn't gotten more votes than what the polls have showed, he has no chance.

Having said that, Giuliani, a guy that was leading all polls 2 months ago, hasn't done much better than Ron Paul,

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Rudy what? Insane Mccain, no he has got to go, go with the right person.

Go Mitt!

Hey Rudy,
We reserved you a seat here in hell right between me and Franco.

Rudy isnt winning in New York?? But that is where 9/11 happened!!! OH NO!

(yes, this is sarcasm).

Rudy, you're finished. Pull out with Fred Thompson and do a traveling production of Law & Order: Broadway.

Chris January 21, 2008 1:42 pm ET

CNN left out Hillarys lead in this poll -

Of course they did, Chris – it was a poll of REPUBLICANS.

This is yet another Ticker rerun.

The more people learn about Rudy, The more they'll see he's a opportunist who made millions while standing over the dead bodies of those who died on 9/11, and ran a corrupt scandal-plagued administration in NYC.

No Republican deserves to be elected president this year – especially Giuliani.

Who is this Giuliani guy? oh, hes the guy that Ron Paul has beat in almost every state so far. Yet CNN seems to keep thinking he is relevant and keeps having articles on this fringe candidate.

McCain is just another Sr Senator war veteran who has no winning ideas like Bob Dole was a sr senator war vet in 1996. Obama/Oprah or the Clintons would have a very big victory against McCain just like Slick did against Dole back in 96.

Now that the news is out that Rudy is low on money, Mitt is the only candidate that can go the distance and win in November. If the people of Florida do not wake up and give Mitt a win that would make the dems and the media very happy indeed.

A vote for McCain or the Huckster is a vote for the Democrats and economic & international failure.Rasmussen's poll just released will not be in the news today!
Romney – 25
McCain – 20
Rudy – 19

Romney is winning the Republican base. If anyone undecided will to listen with an open mind to Mitt speak, it will only take a few minutes to see that he is brilliant. The dems and media know that Mitt would crush any liberal socialist on the dem side in a one on one debate. Thus the dems and media are still talking up the Huckster and other losers.
