No, not the fundraising RACE or another Straw Poll.
No, he is not leading the latest Gallup Presidential Poll.
He won this – Hands Down!

California Anti-Gay Marriage Leader Assails Pat Robertson for Endorsing Rudy Giuliani
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IrE6FMpai8[/youtube]
Randy Thomasson of the Campaign for Children and Families is upset with Christian Broadcasting Networks Pat Robertson for endorsing Rudy Giuliani today: “Pat Robertson is leading pro-family voters astray by abandoning moral standards for government.”
Chill out Randy. Rudy Giuliani does NOT support Gay Marriage.
And the videos you sent out today are a humorous SPOOF. Here is the other one:

Something tells Flap that Randy supports another candidate in the GOP field and it probably is NOT Ron Paul.

Rudy Giuliani – NO Illegal Alien Driver’s Licenses
[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=eLsNonk3-NA[/youtube]
Rudy on the Today Show
Rudy Giuliani today called on the Congress to pass laws prohibiting states from granting driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.
Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday called on Congress to prohibit states from giving driver’s licenses or similar forms of identification to illegal immigrants …
After accepting an endorsement in Washington, D.C., from Christian conservative Pat Robertson, Giuliani said he called Republican Reps. Pete Sessions of Texas and Peter King of New York that morning to propose the legislation. …
“There seems to be … a loophole that allows states not (to) give a license that would be a real ID but some other form of a license. That would make things hopelessly confusing for the immigration service,†Giuliani said.
The Republican frontrunner added that Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s proposal to allow states to decide whether to grant the licenses could obstruct the ability of the federal government to secure the borders. …
[G]iuliani said … that federalism is not the answer on this issue.
“The idea is the federal government is supposed to secure the borders, the federal government is supposed to regulate immigration. If we had 50 different regulations for immigration in the United States, it would become the picture that we have right now, which is a very, very confusing picture.”
How will Hillary finesse a vote on this legislation with a YES and NO answer?
Illegal immigration may well become the number one WEDGE issue in the Presidential campaign of 2008.

Giuliani Florida Poll Watch: Rudy Leads Thompson By 12 Points
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani shakes hands with Pat Robertson at a news conference on on Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2007 in Washington. Robertson, a prominent Christian leader and social conservative, endorsed Giuliani on Wednesday. ‘Rudy Giuliani took a city that was in decline and considered ungovernable and reduced its violent crime, revitalized its core, dramatically lowered its taxes, cut through a welter of bureaucratic regulations, and did so in the spirit of bipartisanship which is so urgently needed in Washington today,’ Robertson said
- Rudy – 34% (35 %, 9/2007)
- Thompson – 22% (24%)
- Romney – 17% (9%)
- McCain – 10% (6%)
- Huckabee – 8% (5%)
In pivotal Florida, Rudy is maintaining a double digit lead. Note: Mike Huckabee rising to almost John McCain. An eight point rise for Mitt Romney since last month. Is Mitt making a move or are voters disenchanted with Fred Thompson?

MORONIC You Tube of the Day

A very weak attempt at anti-Semitic and racial biogtry posing as humor. Nobody could possibly believe that Rudy Giuliani is ANY WAY associated with this.

Laura Ingraham on the Pat Robertson Endorsement of Rudy Giuliani
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKW__l3t7ac[/youtube]
It sounds like Laura is upset that Pat Robertson endorsed Rudy earlier today. It is obvious that Laura does not like Giuliani as she has treated the Mayor like shit every time he has been on her show this year.
Guess Laura won’t be on the train either.

Iran Nuclear Watch: Ahmadinejad Boasts of 3,000 Uranium Enrichment Centrifuges
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivers a speech during a visit the Natanz uranium enrichment facility some 300 kms, south of the capital Tehran, in April. Iran has built a landmark 3,000 centrifuges for uranium enrichment, Ahmadinejad announced 07 November 2007, despite international pressure to halt its atomic work.
If Ahmadinejad is to be believed, Iran NOW possesses the capability of producing a nuclear weapon within a year.
Will the United States continue to fiddle around with economic sanctions? Or will Israel ACT?

Presidential Electors Initiative Watch: Full Speed Ahead?
Graphic Courtesy of California Majority Report
The Game is AFOOT.With funding from the California Republican Party, donors from most of the GOP Presidential candidates, donors for California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Congressman Darrel Issa (who front-funded the successful Gray Davis recall) and signatures, California voters may YET decide on a proportional method of allocating California’s 55 Electoral College votes for President – the most in the country.
The Los Angeles Times and the Sacramento Bee have accounts and the details on donors.
Backers of a proposed initiative that would change the way California’s electoral votes are awarded disclosed Tuesday that they had received $538,000 from a list of donors who have contributed to a variety of presidential candidates.
The required disclosure to the California secretary of state helps to dispel the notion that Republican candidate Rudolph W. Giuliani is behind the measure. The initiative received its initial $175,000 from a top Giuliani backer, Wall Street mogul Paul E. Singer.Others involved in the effort also have ties to the former New York City mayor.
But, Flap which initiative will this group attempt to qualify for the June 2008 ballot? There are two:
and
Both initiatives are similar in changing the method of allocation of Electoral College votes from the current “WINNER TAKE ALL” system to a proportional one. But, the deadlines are definitely different for gathering signatures.
Is the new GOP group, headed by Ed Rollins going for the first initiative in a full court press to qualify for the June 2008 ballot? And, if they fail to gather significant signatures within a few weeks go for the second initiative which has a deadline of February 2008?
This seems a likely scenario but Flap will get some clarification later in the day and update this post or post another.
The California Secretary of State’s web site for California Initiatives is here.
Update #1:
Flap is continuing to pursue clarification but looking at the Election California Reform Initiative web site and the California Counts web site it is apparent the California GOP et al. are going for the first initiative.
Calitics, a Lefty site has some direct mail pieces from California Counts here.
Stay tuned…….

Pat Robertson to Endorse Rudy Giuliani; Update: Pat Robertson Has Endorsed Rudy Giuliani for President
Within the hour, social conservative leader and televangelist Pat Robertson will ENDORSE Rudy Giuliani for President.
So who is Pat Robertson?
Robertson is widely viewed as one of the pillars of the religious right. He founded the Christian Broadcasting Network, the Christian Coalition and Regent University in Virginia Beach. Robertson ran for president in 1988, finishing a surprising second in the Iowa caucuses before losing steam in later states.
This is a COUP for Giuliani and highlights the split in the social conservative movement.
Previously, Mitt Romney, a Mormon, has been actively courting social conservatives and has boasted the endorsements of Paul Weyrich and Bob Jones III.
This endorsement will help the Mayor in the South and the Midwest “Bible Belt.” With his Christian Broadcasting Network, Robertson will broadcast social conservative acceptability for Rudy.
Update:
Pat Robertson has said Rudy would make a “Good President” since 2005.
Update #2:
New York City – The Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee today announced that Pat Robertson has endorsed Rudy Giuliani for President of the United States.
“It is my pleasure to announce my support for America’s Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, a proven leader who is not afraid of what lies ahead and who will cast a hopeful vision for all Americans,†said Pat Robertson. “Rudy Giuliani took a city that was in decline and considered ungovernable and reduced its violent crime, revitalized its core, dramatically lowered its taxes, cut through a welter of bureaucratic regulations, and did so in the spirit of bipartisanship which is so urgently needed in Washington today.â€
“I am very encouraged by Pat’s support,†Rudy Giuliani said. “His confidence in me means a lot. His experience and advice will be a great asset to me and my campaign.â€
Stay tuned……..
