The most recent Rasmussen Poll gives Fred Thompson a solid lead over Rudy Giuliani. Fred is receiving support from 26% of the voters and Rudy's support has dropped to 21%. For Rudy, it was nice while it lasted. Even for the believers, it must have been hard to imagine that a conservative party could ever nominate somebody as liberal as Rudy.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the pack, John McCain still was able to achieve double digit success. He dropped to a new low of 10%. It's over John.
In New Jersey, Republican Chris Christie defeated Democratic Governor Jon Corzine. The Republican victory deals a blow to President Barack Obama as he readies for next year's midterm elections. Obama campaigned heavily for Corzine. (Nov. 3)
Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics says Republican victories in New Jersey and Virginia was a failure for President Barack Obama's campaign efforts, but not a direct referendum on his job performance.

1. Fred Thompson's campaign is off to a great start. It's still a little bit of a tease, waiting for an official announcement, but he's the only Republican beating 'undecided' in the poll.

2. The primary season this year has been such a rush to see who will fight to replace Bush. Let's not disregard everybody just yet. Kerry wasn't exactly frontrunner in 2003...

3. Yeah, Rudy's a liberal. As a matter of fact, I can't believe he's even running as a Republican. As for Mitt, well his campaign will just continue to unravel because I seriously doubt that America will ever elect a Mormon as President. Poor John McCain needs to throw in the towel and get behind his buddy, Fred Thompson. And the rest of the field just needs to cease and desist. They're wasting their time (and ours) if they're not in double digits by now. Now, that Fred Thompson has really got those liberal Democrats sweatin' and crappin' in their pants! Good sign, don't ya' think?

4. Please don't call Rudy a full out liberal, thats insulting to me and other liberals. He is a social liberal, thats it, nothing else about him is liberal. I would never vote for him in a million years, for matter of fact, I wouldn't vote for a Republican period!!!
Hillary 4 Pres!!!

"It is thus necessary that the individual should finally come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of the nation, that the position of the individual is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole." Adolf Hitler

9. Problem is Dems are now the party of La Raza, motto " Everything for our race, nothing for others". who want to take over the Western USA and create a new country called Aztlan and kick the Americans out.
Dems are supporting non stop illegal immigration.
Dems argicultural bill would allow our tax money to go to pay illegals and provide them with subsidied house.
Dems are sponsoring a bill, the Dream Act, that would take college financial aid for low income Americans away from them and give it to illegal students, then give the illegal students citizenship. The New York Times estimates 1 million illegal students would benefit. Once they bring in 4 more family members, we are talking 5 million people. Who is going to pay for all the social security, medicarie and other entitlements.
Dems just passed a law for medical care coverage for kids. But it was not just for kids. It was also for illegals up to 25 years of age. So...if a man, 24 has a wife and two kids,,... free medical care!!!
And Feinstein wants her farmworkers bill passed. She want " temporary" 500,000 illegas workers who in a couple of years will be given citizenship. She doesn't want legal immigrants, she wants the illegal ones! Once they bring in 4 family members each, 2.5 million more to support.
Are Dems following these debates? Do Dems care? I thought a segment of Dems joined with Repubs to defeat Bush's amnesty bill? I have voted Dem for Presdent for 10 years, but not this time around. Unless a Dem candidate comes to his/or her senses.

10. Poor Patrick, to vote for Hillary, he must have a poor memory and be mentally unstable.

11. Patrick is a non thinker, has a poor memory, and absolutly no idea of reality when promoting Hillary for President. She beleives as did Adolf Hitler that the individual is of no importance. Hillary is trying to conceal her past crimes until after election.
