A Giuliani Hit In California
Giuliani did not formally declare his candidacy for president, a prevalent rumor beforehand, but made it obvious that he has every intention of running. In fact, he is on a campaign swing though the Golden State that began last night with a fundraiser and private meetings and continues through Tuesday. As a speaker, Giuliani is in transition from the high-dollar motivational speaker he became after his heroics on and after 9/11 and a full-throttle candidate for the presidency. His speech isn’t a stump speech yet, and is far too long for one — though the crowd of California convention delegates certainly didn’t mind — but it is clear that he has the makings of powerful themes. And that he is a very good performer behind the microphone. While he dealt with a number of issues, including education reform, welfare reform, tax reform, crime, and the need to extend health care coverage, and did not not dwell on his moderate to liberal views on social issues, he made it clear that he sees the war on terror as the overarching issue of the election and of America’s future … More on PJ Media, with more to follow, including video. Comments (22)Jonas Blane :Bill Bradley :Still thematic. He's in transition. Capitol Boy :I heard Republican delegates saying they were so hungry to win and so pro-America they would go for him. Ann :We have to watch an hour of Rudy Giuliani? lol Bill Bradley :Nothing so horrible. Ann :Do we at least get Giuliani in drag? Bill Bradley :I didn't shoot that today. :) Wilbur :I'm guessing that his 9/11 performance polls as the #1 driving force behind his positives, so I'd be very surprised if he DIDN'T portray "the war on terror as the overarching issue of the election and of America’s future." It's not like he could run as the Family Values candidate... ;-} Bill Bradley :And since the war stuff is the number one issue in the country, it also makes a certain degree of sense. Don't recall family values coming up. Ann :He should run on his fashion sense. Barbara :Mr. Bradley! Jonas Blane :That is quite a report! Sacramento Solon :Barbara, I was sound asleep early and will now go face the path. Must tell you that the Tom you're pulling for is quite probably the same Tom who sued to keep Jerry Brown from becoming Attorney General. So, might want to rethink hopes based upon cute! :-) Once again, thanks for the info on the Old Soul party. Perhaps next time it will fit my schedule. Bill Bradley :That's right, Solon. The "cute guy" running for Republican vice chair is Tom Del Beccaro, who fronted the lawsuit I revealed last year to disqualify Jerry Brown from being California attorney general. Which, as predicted, was thrown out by the courts, most recently by an Armenian Republican judge appointed by Republican Governor George Deukmejian. Barbara :Oh how funny! I wonder if those women were even aware of that! Oh Well I am not a REEP...I don't mind if they have someone cute and dumb leading them...better than another Grover clone! Mr. Bradley, they spoke about the "reception" given Rudy in Sacto yesterday on Meet the Press and Broder said that is the same kind of response he is getting everywhere even in the Southern states...I just watched dueling Douglas Feinth interviews...Chris Wallace really nailed him and Blitzer clearly rattled him, however he did not do as good of job in the interview! Ann :That guy? The Dems could only be so lucky to have Grover Norquist and Tom Del Beccaro as Republican chairman and vice chairman. lol Jonathan Hemlock :Mr. Giuliani is going to have to edit that speech down if he wants people to listen. Sacramento Solon :Ann, Good call. The man in question is a clown. Hope he gets the post! :-) Pleased to report that I completed my 10 miles through mountain lion country. All I saw was a couple coyote. Just a couple. Bill Bradley :He did in fact win it. Barbara :Gosh, those women I talked to last night must be really happy!!!...It was such a beautiful day to be outside!...I can't imagine spending it inside convention center on politics! Sacramento Solon :Life is good in the city of Sacramento. Glad to see that the folks on the right did the right thing. Very glad. AthlonGuy :Since when are cougars called mountain lions? What a stupid trend. Comments have been archived for this page. |
