Quote:
In the audience, Richard and Linda Couser of Concord were won over. The couple, shopping for a candidate, had attended a McCain rally earlier Monday but said they were persuaded by Giuliani’s answers — particularly on abortion.
“Listening to Rudy was like being in a class again — a lecture. You’re learning,” Linda Couser said.

That’s how he won in NYC with 85% Democrats. That’s how he will win in November. He can RE-EDUCATE non-Republicans, when other Republicans discuss the same points and it just sounds like Republican-speak to non-Republicans.

Quote:
Giuliani capped his day with a town hall meeting in Derry, where an enthusiastic audience laughed and booed at his quips as if on cue.
“I probably haven’t heard ‘change’ as much in the last couple of weeks since I worked in a bank and people wanted change, change, change,” he said, earning light chuckles.
“Let’s see how many people think this is a good change. … The tax rates are increased by 25 percent — that’s a change,” he said, pausing to let the audience boo its disapproval. “That’s what Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards want to do for you. When you see their slogan change … They want to take the change out of my pocket” he said, earning bigger laughs.

Hey, Rudy HQ, are you reading this?
Run a very simple 15 second ad.
Picture of the old decrepit NYC.
Picture of the new gleaming NYC.
One word only, no sound:
CHANGE.

Then, when his voice comes on, have Rudy say “I can do the same thing for America.”
January 8th, 2008 at 2:55 am
He’d be better off ending it, “I can do the same thing for Florida.â€?

I realize that “essential reads” is just a title, and not a guarantee, but an article about how Romney didn’t buy a pair of boots?
Pretty weak.

So far this morning…
- Suffolk/WHDH Tracking poll shows Romney +4 (yesterday it was Romney +3)
- Zogby tracking poll shows McCain + 9 (yesterday it was McCain +5)
- ARG shows McCain +7 (yesterday it was McCain +8)
- InTrade shows McCain over Romney 83-16.
- New RCP average (taking out polls from before the weekend) show McCain +3.6

Candice Miller is Rudy’s MI state chair.
According to wikipedia:
“Miller was the Michigan Secretary of State from 1995 to 2003. In her re-election campaign to that office in 1998 she carried every county in Michigan (including Wayne County, home to Detroit) and won by 1 million votes — the largest margin of victory for a candidate running statewide in Michigan.”

Watched the first video under Rudy. I don’t like this line he’s been using of late:
“Staying on offense in the terrorist war against us.”
Sure, I agree with the various premises of the statement, it’s just such a mouthful and sounds like a tongue twister every time he says it.
