GOP Nominee
Former Candidates
Think the dueling staff announcements from McCain and Romney are getting a bit ridiculous? (Even Hotline is getting a bit jaded.) Well, this press release just crossed our transom…
Eighteen [Count 'em, Eighteen!] New Hampshire Dog Catchers Join Straight Talk America
ALEXANDRIA, VA — Eighteen New Hampshire dog catchers will join Straight Talk America, forming a dog catchers’ advisory council that will advise Senator McCain on their expertise in canine capture and other issues.
The group is led by Susan Alfred, President of the New Hampshire Association of Dog Catchers in 1992-93 and Bush 2000 supporter, who noted, “Imagine my surprise when I picked up the phone and, oh my, it was John McCain. We’re just tickled pink that someone is finally noticing us!”
John Weaver, senior adviser to Straight Talk America, said this about this significant “get”: “Their experience rounding up puppies and other stray animals is especially appropriate to lassoing Republicans to the polls in 2006. They will also be valued members of the team should Senator McCain make the ultimate decision.”
Said Senator McCain, “In their capacity as dog catchers, these community leaders are influentials of the highest order. They are grizzled campaign veterans, eeking out election victories by the razor tight margins of 64 votes to 58, 33 to 31, and 19 to 18.”
The announcement caps off a busy week for Straight Talk America, including the announcement of a Mainstream Media Advisory Committee led by Charlie Cook, Chuck Todd, and Mark Halperin, the rollout of sixty-four new state and regional auxiliaries of Political Consultants for McCain, and the recruitment of three Voters for McCain.

Okay … the humour and the intelligence level of this post escapes me…
Has the purpose of this site changed…
The truth of these announcements is that john McCain and Mitt Romney are organizing the battlegrounds tates and Rudy G is still making the decision.
To constantly post .. just to post.. doesnt help Rudy G… I will say again.. it just makes the opposition work harder..
On that THANKS Rudy Blogger… you are doing more to elect John mcCain or Mitt Romney than you will ever be given credit for during 2008.

I would encourage Kavon, once again, to forbid articles that contain editorial bashing of other GOP candidates. If the article reports something objectively troublesome for a candidate then that is fair game, it seems to me. But contributors should not be stalking horses for specific candidates or this site will lose all credibility.

A little light-heartedness goes a long way. I’ll be the first to laugh at Romney if his campaign makes a press release about nineteen even more qualified dog-catchers in Iowa this weekend.

The very nature of building an organization requires the releasing of Vietnam Veterans for McCain and the counter group … then the Romney Group… and Rudy G if he runs group…..
America is truly a melting pot of cultures and emerging factions that will form these organizations.
That is the state of political organization building.. once again to belittle other candidates… does more harm to this site and those groups such as dog catchers to make a daily post.
I for one will continue to read the other posters and respond…. with Rudy Blogger I am done.. and now will onlky support McCain and Romney for president. they are now my two candidates for president and Rudy G is off the board

Oklahoma Pol,
…with Rudy Blogger I am done.. and now will onlky support McCain and Romney for president.
I hope your support of the candidates has more to do with the candidates than with their supporters. Don’t count Rudy out because you don’t like what Rudyblogger’s posting style (and I say that as someone not in support of Rudy).

No, its not a matter of posting style… its the accuarcy of the posts
Rudy G has several issues to deal with.. and with supporters as Rudy blogger.. his plate will be full
my concern is that Rudy blogger has his own agenda… and if his vemnon is this strong now… wait until its closer to a primary.
Yes I am suporting the candidates who I feel will do what is right for America.. I know I wont always agree with them.. but they will have the honour, integrity and character to restore American unity and pride.

I actually enjoy the contribution made by Rudy Blogger AND every single one of you. I don’t think what he was saying was intended to be seen in a malicious manner. Hell I could point out quite a few of you who have accused Giuliani of having little chance due to his so-called “liberal” positions…. I find this view to be null with logic; but I don’t bitch about it.
Let us all be objective, but fair, as this site is only going to grow as the primaries get near.
