I didn’t see a poll Gopher, but I heard it on CNN. They said that Giuliani is behind Andrew Cuomo, the most likely Democratic candidate for Governor, by double digit, but that he is ahead of Gillibrand by double digit in the senate race.

But I didn’t see any poll. And seeing that Rasmussen is a Republican leaning site if there had been such a poll, I am sure Rasmussen would have trumpeted it on the front page, they would not have reported the Pataki poll at all.

But I remember seeing it on CNN.

A Marist College poll this month found that Cuomo would beat Giuliani for governor, 53 percent to 43 percent. But Giuliani leads Gillibrand 54 percent to 40 percent in a possible Senate run.

(AP) Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who many Republicans have been pushing to run for governor in 2010, is instead leaning more toward a run for U.S. Senate, according to two party advisers.

"From staff, we have been hearing that he has been indicating quietly and privately recently that governor might not be the best fit for him now," one adviser said Thursday. "But the U.S. Senate could be a perfect fit for him."

Maybe that was the poll they reported on CNN, ironsides.

But as I said before, Giuliani is a RINO if there ever was one (pro choice, pro gay rights, etc.). If the infighting in the Republican Party between moderates and conservative continues, it is quite likely that Giuliani may face a third party conservative caniddate in the general election. If that happens, all bets are off.

What ever he may be is a minor to what he really is. Giuliani is something this country needs and needs now, He is a true manager, Director and more importantly, he is a real proven hero and their lies his power base. The country needs someone to believe in.​

I thought the country had Joan of Arc to believe in.

Another Failed
Presidency

By Geoffrey P. Hunt


Barrack Obama is on track to have the most spectacularly failed presidency since Woodrow Wilson. In the modern era, we've seen several failed
presidencies--led by Jimmy Carter and LBJ. Failed presidents have one strong common trait-- they are repudiated, in the vernacular, spat out.

Of course, LBJ wisely took the exit ramp early, avoiding a shove into oncoming traffic by his own party. Richard Nixon indeed resigned in
disgrace, yet his reputation as a statesman has been partially restored by his triumphant overture to China .


Another Failed Presidency

I read the link you gave, ironsides. It is a typical, extreme right wing rant, there are probably thousands of blogs like this on the internet, I don’t know why you decided to post this particular one.

He quotes the Standard approvingly, which is of course another far right publication. This guy is a typical Obama hater, probably a tea party attendee, perhaps even a birther.

Most reasonable people realize that Obama has been in office less than one year, it is too early to pass judgment on his presidency (unless of course one hates him with visceral hatred, visceral passion).

Woodrow Wilson was always considered to be one of the better presidents, it was his successor Warren G. Harding (Teadome Scandal) who was considered to be one of the most corrupt. What went on under the table with Bill and Monica would look like a Sunday school picnic compared to what Warren and the girls were doing in his office..................

Is he calling Obahma names?
Or is that others on the far right with a visceral hatred?

Quite so, JLM. Sexual peccadilloes by a president, while nobody approves of them are not by themselves terrible crimes.

Republicans tried to make them so, they tried to exploit the sexual misconduct of Clinton to the fullest, even resorting to purely partisan, political impeachment of Clinton (incidentally, precisely what they will do again if they gain control of the Hose in 2010). But American people didn’t buy it.

In spite of the non stop hatred, non stop venom, vitriol poured out for eight years, in spite of trying to exploit sexual misdemeanors to the fullest, Clinton still left office with approval rating in high 60s.

Sometimes American people are more astute than one gives them credit for.

He has already declared Obama presidency as a failure, pgs. That tells me that he is an Obama hater. Now, I realize that conservatives declared Obama presidency a failure even before he assumed office. But that doesn’t make it right; it is still blind hatred, blind rage towards Obama.

An interesting footnote is that Harding was a Republican........quite contrary to your characterization of Republicans......:lol::lol::lol:

Yeah and Dems downplay any breach in ethics/morality they perform and exaggerate any that Reps perform. Big deal. One side's just as good/bad as the other they are just different than each other.

That was in old days, JLM. Republicans were not prudes in those days, they were not taken over by the religious right. In fact, in the old days, the religious right, the Bible Belt used to vote solidly Democratic. All that changed in the 70s, after the civil rights movement.

So in those days, there really was not much difference between Republican and Democrats when it came to issues of morality, religion etc. Republicans did not advertise themselves as the Party of God, like they do today.

There is the world of difference between republican party of pre civil rights days and post civil rights days.

"There is the world of difference between republican party of pre civil rights days and post civil rights days."- So "Civil Rights" had a detrimental impact.
