Rudy Giuliani Watch: Rudy Leading Huckabee By 11 Points in Latest Gallup National GOP Poll
Republican Presidential hopeful, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, holds an angel statue he purchased, Monday, Dec. 17, 2007, at the Christmas Dove shop in Barrington, N.H. where he was campaigning.
Rudy Giuliani’s National poll demise apparently was greatly exaggerated.
The latest USA Today Gallup Poll:Â
- Rudy – 27% (25, 11-30 thru 12/2)
- Mike Huckabee – 16% (16)
- Mitt Romney – 14% (12)
- John McCain – 14% (15)
- Fred Thompson – 14% (15)
- Ron Paul – 3% (4)
Survey of 399 adults was conducted Dec 14-16 and has a 5% MoE.
The Mayor was up two points and increased to a double digit lead. Pundits have Hizzoner collapsing. As Flap said before, do not count the Mayor out.
Stay tuned……

The Fire in Fred Thompson’s Belly?
No, not Scalia.
United States Congressman Steve King, R-Iowa might just be the FIRE Fred Thompson needs.
And, did Flap say what bad news this is for Mitt Romney who has been looking for some good news coming out of Iowa.
Fred Thompson may well finish third in Iowa and then onto South Carolina while McCain attempts to steal New Hampshire from Mitt.
A rare good day for Thompson.

Dan Fogelberg R.I.P.

Dan Fogelberg: Leader of the Band
Dan Fogelberg, singer and songwriter died yesterday of Prostate Cancer at 56. R.I.P.
From his website – the Sermon:
Now for the sermon.
To each and every man….
I cannot encourage you strongly enough to get a DRE (Digital Rectal Exam) and a PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) test EVERY YEAR.
The medical community suggests this for men over 50, but men with a family history of prostate cancer should start getting tested at age 40.
The PSA test is a simple blood test…it only takes a minute or two. The DRE, okay, every man squirms at the thought of this exam, but hey, it too takes only a minute or two, and IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE.
Prostate cancer can be very slow growing or very aggressive, but detected early while it is still confined to the prostate gland, it can usually be treated and cured successfully.
Once it spreads beyond the prostate it is called Advanced Prostate Cancer (PCa). At this point it becomes imminently more life threatening and harder to treat. Do yourself and your loved ones a huge favor and GET CHECKED REGULARLY. I promise you, you DON’T want to go through what I’m going through if you can avoid it.
Education and awareness are key, I urge you to follow the link below to the Prostate Cancer Foundation web site and read up on how best to protect yourself and reduce your likelihood of contracting this terrible disease.
And, now another:

Romney’s Race to Lose?

Mitt Romney on Meet the Press, December 17, 2007 falsifying his relationship with the NRA
Patrick Ruffini thinks it is Romney’s race to lose. After reading Soren’s piece, Flap asks are you kidding me?
Do you REALLY think Romney’s negative GOP baggage is NOT going to be exploited by all of the campaigns?
The negative ads are yet to come.
Update:
And, the race becomes more muddled in Iowa with the Iowa Congressman King endorsement of Fred Thompson.

Rudy Giuliani Watch: Rasmussen and Rudy
Republican presidential hopeful former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani delivers a speech during a campaign stop Saturday, Dec. 15, 2007 in Tampa, Florida.
Rudy on the Brink was the title of the post from Patrick Ruffini. What Ruffini was referring was the latest Florida Rasmussen poll which showed Rudy in third place behind leader Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney.
The Florida Rasmussen poll can be discounted and is in this piece over at the American Spectator.
The Huckaboom sweeping most of the lower 48 may have reached Florida. A Rasmussen daily poll on Friday showed the personable former Arkansas governor to be the choice of 27 percent of a sample of 685 likely Florida primary voters. Mitt Romney was second at 23 percent, Rudy Giuliani third at 19.
These are stunning numbers considering Giuliani has held a steady 2-1 lead over his nearest rivals in most Florida polls for months. And Giuliani counts on a win in big, red-state Florida January 29 to offset what are sure to be less than astounding performances by him in the smaller early primary and caucus states. He also needs Florida to give him momentum going into the 21 Super-Tuesday primaries Feb. 5. If Huckabee steals a round in Florida it would be Giuliani who is offset, and facing one hell of a hill to climb to be nominated.
If their protestations are to be believed, Giuliani’s Florida brain trust isn’t too concerned about the latest Rasmussen Florida numbers. Nor were the 400 or so enthusiastic supporters who showed up at the Tampa Convention Center Saturday morning to whoop up “The Nation’s Mayor” at a campaign stop.
Bob Martinez of Tampa, a former Florida governor and federal drug czar under George the First, introduced Rudy at the rally and told me before the services that the Rasmussen poll may not be reliable because of its method of collecting data.
And, one poll does not a campaign make – especially a Rasmussen one. Patrick knows this having been on the inside and outside of the Giuliani campaign.
The campaign remains fluid and Flap would not be counting the Mayor out.
Stay tuned…….
