Chairman Brinkman led the call and was pleased with the outcome, as she serves as California Youth Co-Chairman for Rudy Giuliani . “There are over 1.6 million California Republicans aged 18-34. Our job is to help those voters see why Rudy is the right man to lead our nation,” stated Brinkman.

    What Young Republicans Are Saying About Rudy Giuliani

    • Chairman Catherine Brinkman declared, “I have been a supporter of Rudy well before he decided to run for President. He is one of the reasons I got involved in politics. I was elated when he announced his bid for President in our great state last February. We must remember we are a nation at war. Mayor Giuliani has been battling terrorists since the early 1980s, well before I knew what a terrorist was. There is no one more qualified with better leadership and experience to lead our nation during this fragile time in our history. He has the guts and where with all to pull America through this war and get our economy back on track.”
    • Zack Scrivner who serves as National Committeeman believes, “Rudy Giuliani is a proven leader, and he is the Republican candidate for President most capable of defeating Hillary Clinton in November.”
    • National Committeewoman Courtney Mayo remarked, “As someone who was one of the reasons I became involved in politics, I am thrilled to support Rudy Giuliani for President. A proven leader, he exemplifies the qualities I expect in a President – smart, straight-forward and dedicated to his beliefs. His leadership on September 11, 2001 made him a hero and with his unwavering committment to fighting the global war on terrorism, is why Rudy Giuliani has my vote for President in 2008.”

    Hizzoner’s New Social Network: Team Rudy

    Like the majority of other presidential campaigns this year, Rudy Giuliani‘s campaign team has been experimenting with a presence on many of the most popular social networking sites.

    Now the campaign has launched its own.

    “What we want to do is to give people the opportunity to volunteer, even if they don’t have time to go to headquarters, or if they live far from their local headquarters,” says a Giuliani staffer who worked on the project.

    Giuliani supporters can score points with the mayor by writing letters to the editors of local newspapers from the Web site, hosting parties, telling the campaign why they support New York City’s former mayor, by making calls to talk radio stations, volunteering their time, or, of course, by making financial donations.

    Flap says JOIN Team Rudy today.

    Rudy Giuliani Watch: What Are You Going to Do About Putin?

    Republican presidential candidate, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, speaks during a town hall meeting in Boca Raton, Florida November 30, 2007.

    At a town hall meeting in Florida this afternoon, a questioner asked Rudy what he was going to do about Russian President Vladimir Putin?

    Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Friday advocated a strong military build-up by the United States as a bulwark against the oil-rich Russian President Vladimir Putin and his increasing consolidation of power in the country.

    “The good part with Russia is we’re not in a Cold War, there is no longer a Soviet empire, their desires are still of a matter of concern but they’re not nearly what they used to be and we don’t want to get ourselves back into that,” said Giuliani, who described Putin as both “good and bad.”

    “Long term the way we prevent getting ourselves back into that, both with regard to Russia, and even China, is to become militarily even stronger.”

    Of course! And a good answer by the Mayor. The military was weakened by Hillary Clinton’s husband, Bill, and while he used the “peace dividend” to pay down budget deficits over the long term America’s military might still suffers.

    The Mayor has not lost a step with the “political hits” over the last few days and is playing to his leadership role as America’s next President.

    When the chips are down, who does America REALLY want as President to lead them against Russia, China, Iran and the rest of the Islamofascists?

    Rudy

    Man Takes Hostages At Clinton Campaign Office
    Witnesses Say Man Has Bomb-Like Device Strapped To Chest

    An armed man has taken two campaign workers hostage at the Hillary Clinton campaign office in Rochester, police said.

    Officials with the campaign confirmed that there were two workers taken hostage in the office on 28 North Main St.. A woman and her baby told workers at a neighboring business that she was released by the hostage-taker.

    “A young woman with a 6-month or 8-month-old infant came rushing into the store just in tears, and she said, ‘You need to call 911. A man has just walked into the Clinton office, opened his coat and showed us a bomb strapped to his chest with duct tape,'” witness Lettie Tzizik said.

    Mitt Romney’s Hypocritical Iowa Illegal Immigration Mail

    romneynovember30bweb

    Mitt Romney drops this contrast mail piece in Iowa this next week.

    For the first time, Mitt Romney is using paid media to go after his nearest Iowa rival, Mike Huckabee.

    In a mail piece that hit Hawkeye State households this week, Romney compares his stance on immigration to all four of his top GOP rivals, including the one who has moved into a statistical dead heat with him in Iowa. In a previous mailer in the state on gay marriage, Romney ignored Huckabee (who also supports a constitutional amendment on the issue)

    Of course, Romney’s opponents will take issue with how their immigration views are presented and will hasten to point out that in the fall of 2006 the then-Massachusetts governor was much more sympathetic to offering illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship.

    Hypocritical, you ask?

    Yes, especially since Mitt Romney’s record is as moderate as many of his competitors:

    • While Romney was governor, the commonwealth of Massachusetts became one of the six states with the largest growth in unauthorized migrant population, from 2002 to 2004, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, with somewhere between 200,000-250,000 new illegal immigrants.
    • In the past, Governor Romney supported more LIBERAL positions on illegal immigration than the 2007 recently failed Kennedy-McCain legislation. In fact, he supported President Bush and Senator McCain’s efforts to change current law in favor of “AMNESTY.”
    • During Romney’s Term, Proposed State Aid To These Sanctuary Cities Increased 4.07%, From $103,218,421 In FY2004 To $107,419,246 In FY2007.
    • Romney’s Last Minute Agreement With Federal Government To Allow State Troopers To Enforce Immigration Laws Was Rescinded Before It Was Ever Implemented.

    Might this be a televised response by Huckabee?

    Update:

    Soren thinks Romney because of his money and political organization will “pull this off.”

    Mike Huckabee Poll Watch: Moving on UP in Iowa, NH, SC

    Republican Presidential hopeful, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, left, looks on as actor Chuck Norris, right, answers a reporter’s question during a lunch with journalists in Washington, Thursday, Nov. 29, 2007.

    Three ARG polls for this Friday morning in “early states” demonstrate the momentum. Huck-Mentum, moving Mike Huckabee forward in the GOP Presidential race.

    Iowa:

    • Mitt Romney – 28% (26%, 11-10 thru 11-14)
    • Mike Huckabee – 27% (24%)
    • Fred Thompson – 14% (10%)
    • Rudy Giuliani – 9% (11%)
    • John McCain – 9% (10%)
    • Ron Paul – 3% (3%)
    • Undecided – 9% (13%)

    Sample Size: 600 completed telephone interviews among a random sample of likely Republican caucus goers living in Iowa (512 Republicans and 88 no party (independent) voters).

    Sample Dates: November 26-29, 2007

    Margin of Error: ± 4 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split.

    Incidence of Likely Republican Caucus Participation: 8.9% of Republican and no party voters.

    New Hampshire:

    • Mitt Romney – 36% (30%, 10-26 thru 10-29)
    • Rudy Giuliani – 22% (23%)
    • Mike Huckabee – 13% (7%)
    • John McCain – 11% (17%)
    • Fred Thompson – 3% (5%)
    • Ron Paul – 2% (1%)
    • Undecided – 12% (?)

    Sample Size: 600 completed telephone interviews among a random sample of likely Republican primary voters living in New Hampshire (466 Republicans and 134 undeclared (independent) voters).

    Sample Dates: November 26-29, 2007

    Margin of Error: ± 4 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split.

    South Carolina:

    • Rudy Giuliani – 23% (23, 10-26 thru 10-29)
    • Mitt Romney – 21% (29%)
    • Mike Huckabee – 18% (5%)
    • Fred Thompson – 13% (10%)
    • John McCain – 10% (13%)
    • Ron Paul – 3% (4%)

    Sample Size: 600 completed telephone interviews among a random sample of likely Republican primary voters living in South Carolina (500 Republicans and 100 independent voters).

    Sample Dates: November 26-29, 2007

    Margin of Error: ± 4 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split.

    A good polling day for Mike Huckabee. Huckabee is moving up at the expense of Mitt Romney in Iowa, New Hamspshire and South Carolina where Evangelical Christian voters are prominent in the GOP.

    Huckabee appears to be moving up at John McCain’s expense in New Hampshire. Remember McCain won the New Hampshire primary in 2000 against President Bush.

    Watch for more attacks, particularly from the Romney camp (especially watch Romney hagiographer Hugh Hewitt) on Huckabee’s SoCon credentials – a constituency that Romney needs to win in early states.

    Yes, Chris, New Media has created a different political climate than when Bill Clinton first ran for the Presidency. Flap wonders if Slick Willy would have been able to get away with his “Bimbo Eruptions” in today’s blogosphere.

    Hillary and Bill will be under more scrutiny.
