Hillary Clinton Watch: Voters Reject Clinton Baby Bond Proposal By 2-to-1 Margin
Sixty percent (60%) of America’s Likely Voters oppose giving every child born in the United States a $5,000 savings bond, or “baby bond.” A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 27% support the concept suggested on Friday by Senator Hillary Clinton .
“The baby bonds proposal is one of the few mistakes Hillary Clinton has made in her campaign,” according to University of Virginia Professor Larry Sabato. “Should Clinton become the Democratic nominee, she may have handed a powerful issue to the Republican candidate .”
At a Congressional Black Caucus forum, Clinton said, “I like the idea of giving every baby born in America a $5,000 account that will grow over time. So, when that young person turns 18, if they have finished high school, they will be able to access it to go to college or maybe they will be able to put that down payment on their first home, or go into business.”

The Poll:
Survey of 1,200 Likely Voters September 28-30, 2007
Do You Favor or Oppose Giving a $5,000 Savings Bond To Every Child Born in the U.S.?
- FAVOR – 27%
- OPPOSE – 60%
- NOT SURE – 13%
Rudy also slammed Hillary Clinton on her George McGovern-like Baby Bond:
He also slammed Clinton’s recent suggestion that every baby be given a $5,000 savings bond, saying the idea “comes from George McGovern,†the liberal 1972 Democratic presidential nominee who lost 49 states to Richard Nixon.
Giuliani said the “baby bond†idea would cost more than $20 billion a year for the bonds alone. Then, he said, “you’ve got to hire people to print the bonds — which I believe are going to include Hillary’s picture.â€
A MAJOR GAFFE by Hillary Clinton. She was caught being a PANDER bear.
Flap can see the GOP television commercials now.
Stay tuned…….

Giuliani Poll Watch: 11 Point Lead for Rudy in the Latest Rasmussen Daily Presidential Poll
Republican presidential hopeful former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani speaks during the GOP Presidential candidates debate at Ford Community and Performing Arts Center Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2007, in Dearborn, Mich.
Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll:
- Rudy – 29%
- Thompson – 18%
- Romney – 15%
- McCain – 10%
- Huckabee – 6%
These results are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a four day rolling average basis. Roughly half the interviews were conducted following Tuesday’s early evening televised debate. Roughly a quarter of the interviews were conducted after the debate was reported in the Wednesday newspapers.
Looks like the Thompson BOUNCE is over and there is some mention of a FRED FIZZLE as his numbers have fallen precipitously over the past weeks.
Let’s look at the Real Clear Politics poll averages:
Rudy is over 30% in the national GOP poll averages for the first time since May of this year.
A good day for Team Rudy.
Stay tuned………

Michael Ramirez on the Rudy Giuliani – James Dobson Flap
Flap agrees with you Michael. It is HYPOCRITICAL of James Dobson and other members of the Christian Right to be willing to help Hillary Clinton win the Presidency when Rudy Giuliani has pledged to appoint “strict constuctionist” (certainly MORE pro-life than Hillary’s appointees) judges to the federal bench.

Mitt Romney Watch: LAWYERS TEST For National Security Part Three

From the Wall Street Journal (Subscription required):
Egad. Call in the attorneys? Perhaps it is Mr. Romney’s experience in business that taught him to want lawyers at his elbow, given that no CEO can survive without them these days. Or perhaps it is our hyper-legalized politics, with Mr. Bush accused daily of “breaking the law” over mere policy disagreements. But deferring to lawyers to tell a President when he can and cannot use force to defend the country is not the proper understanding of executive power under the Constitution, and it is dangerous if it is the first instinct of a Commander in Chief.
Mr. Romney should have said that a President’s first duty is to do whatever it takes to protect the United States, and that he’d have the Constitutional authority to use military force to do so — as Presidents from Washington to Teddy Roosevelt to Reagan have done — but that of course he would want to consult with Congress and win its support as time and circumstances allowed. Mr. Romney doesn’t need a lawyer; he needs to reread the Federalist Papers.
In other words, America needs a LEADER like Rudy Giuliani as President and not an indecisive -BRING IN THE LAWYERS TYPE CEO type like Mitt Romney.
America’s choice but Flap will take the LEADER any day.
