New York Post: IT’S NOW A RUDY ROMP

UNTIL now, the status of front-runner in the Republican primaries for president was jointly held by Arizona Sen. John McCain and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. McCain is clearly no longer the front-runner. In the last week or so, Giuliani has moved out to a clear lead.

But, it is Dick Morris……

None of the Above

Giuliani has been clear on abortion.

He is personally opposed but does not wish to go down the road of criminalizing it and placing women in jail.

Any discussion of a changing of Hizzoner’s views on this issue is BULL.

Washington Post: Iraq Vote Could Resonate In 2008

The drama is to begin late this afternoon with a procedural vote on whether to move ahead with the debate. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) vowed Friday to try to block that, promising to rally his fractious party behind him.

The bipartisan resolution to be offered on the floor states that the Senate disagrees with the president’s plan and urges Bush to consider all other options for achieving his strategic goals.

Should resolution supporters clear their first obstacle, the Senate will move to an anticipated long series of votes on amendments. The big ones to watch include a Republican call for the immediate withdrawal of all troops, intended to put Democrats on the spot, and attempts by antiwar Democrats to strike certain provisions, including one opposing the termination of funding for troops in the field.

The NEW CALL LIST:

Senator Lamar Alexander (TN): (202) 224-4944

Senator Norm Coleman (MN): (202) 224-5641

Senator Susan Collins (ME): (202) 224-2523

Senator Lisa Murkowski (AK): (202) 224-6665

Senator Gordon Smith (OR): (202) 224-3753

Senator John Sununu (NH): (202) 224-2841

Senator John Warner (VA): (202) 224-2023

If you have NOT called these Senators, call them today.

******

Tell them to GET IT RIGHT OR GET OUT.

And be sure to watch C-span later in the day to see if any of these politicos grow a backbone.

Update:

Michelle Malkin has a special call out to Senate staffers to show their bosses before the showdown at 1 PM PST.  C-span’s special page is here.
Stay tuned….
