- Rudy Giuliani makes his case for the presidency
I believe one of the reasons Republicans lost control of Congress in 2006 was because of excessive spending in the years leading up to that election. Over the last decade, non-defense spending has increased 72 percent, and this year Washington spent nearly $24,000 for every household in America. Controlling spending must be a chief executive’s priority. Over the course of the next two terms, 42 percent of the federal civilian workforce is due to retire.We’ll only replace half of them, taking the opportunity to right-size government by taking advantage of technology like the private sector has done in recent years, and ultimately save taxpayers $21 billion annually.To get Congress on board with fiscally conservative spending policies, I will eliminate the anonymous pork projects that define Washington’s spending culture.Bridge-to-Nowhere spending habits aren’t simply a problem; they are the product of a culture that believes there is nothing wrong with sneaking pet projects into spending bills. We must reform that culture.But more can be done. We can eliminate wasteful spending by convening a Government Waste Commission, similar to the commission that was convened to handle the politically volatile issue of closing military bases.This Government Waste Commission will identify programs to be eliminated, such as some of the 3 percent of programs already rated “ineffective” by the federal government. Congress will then be required to vote - up or down - on the whole package of suggested spending cuts.

- Dividing Up Delegates
Why did Obama get as many as Clinton in New Hampshire, when he finished in second place?
Since a number of states have winner-take-all policies, GOP candidates can rack up delegates faster than their Democratic rivals. This means a presidential nominee will likely emerge earlier in the GOP, all else being equal. Presidential hopefuls in the Democratic Party might want to duke it out in every state, since there’s always a possibility of picking up delegates. But Republican candidates, who might get no reward for coming in second or third, may prefer to concentrate on big winner-take-all states. That partly explains why Rudy Giuliani skimped on New Hampshire to campaign heavily in states like Florida and California.

- What McCain’s Win Means
The so-called hard right, which has dominated the party for the past decade, isn’t going to be happy with the nominee.
Mike Huckabee’s long fade began last night. Mitt Romney, so desperate that his staffers started stealing McCain campaign signs, will formally complete his implosion in Michigan. Fred Thompson can go back to sleep now. That leaves John McCain and Rudy Giuliani, both of whom sport policy positions that frustrate evangelicals and neo-cons.
