Merely an aggregation of a dispersed life online
The Rhode Island Secretary of State just released the list of filed delegates. Delegates then need to get signatures to get on the ballots. But… John McCain and Mike Huckabee filed 40 delegates. Fred Thompson 8. Mitt Romney 7. And Rudy Giuliani 0.
There are two stories here. The first one is that Romney’s delegate operation [...]

Two days ago (technical problems delayed this) in Manchester, New Hampshire, I sat down with Steve Forbes, and we talked about his endorsement of Rudy Giuliani, and his thoughts on the economic records of the other candidates. As a supporter of Rudy Giuliani’s he has the most to say about what he likes [...]
The day of the CNN/YouTube debate, Matt Drudge, handmaiden of Mitt Romney’s campaign, raised the issue that became known as "Shag Fund." The claim was that Rudy Giuliani had improperly hid expenses for visiting his then girlfriend. Well, it turns out that it just wasn’t true. Powerline and Captain’s Quarters have the details. Total exoneration [...]
The Nashua Telegraph is suggesting that Rudy Giuliani is pulling television ads from New Hampshire media markets. If the theory is right that Rudy splits votes with John McCain, then this should help McCain in NH. Presumably Rudy is going to spend the money in South Carolina or Florida, where he is struggling. Anyways, all [...]
A bomb just dropped in the Presidential race. Rudy Giuliani was going to win the nomination by placing or showing in , but not winning, a bunch of early primary states. And then he was going to win in Florida. But a new Rasmussen poll, if verified with more polling, would explode that theory:
Rasmussen GOP [...]
Well, this race is certainly in flux isn’t it? Two sets of polls
The first is Rasmussen’s daily trackers for a little over a week. The second is RCP’s averages for the national race from Wednesday, December 5th. RCP messed up the dates a little. Rasmussen should have been at the top, rather than the bottom. [...]
So much happened yesterday, and I was away from a computer for most of the day, that I was left nearly speechless.
Perhaps the most interesting was Grover Norquist’s comments on Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee. Grover’s whole schtick for over a decade has been his tax pledge. You sign the pledge to not raise taxes. [...]
Last night the Virginia GOP passed a resolution:
The Republican Party of Virginia State Central Committee yesterday evening passed a motion requesting the Virginia State Board of Elections withdraw the “statement of intent” requirement before participating in the 2008 Republican presidential primary contest.
While the committee did request the Virginia State Board of Elections to withdraw the [...]
So this morning was the Mitt Romney’s hypocritical bigotry towards Muslims scandal.
Then the Boston Herald broke that Romney’s affirmative-action judge had screwed up and let out a child-rapist before Romney gave her a promotion.
And now Rudy Giuliani was making New York City pay for his affair?
Proud day to be a Republican.
It has been a pretty remarkable two days in terms of endorsements:
Yesterday, Mitt Romney got Paul Weyrich. Weyrich had been rumored to be going with Fred Thompson, but not so much… And he said Mike Huckabee couldn’t win. This is certainly a DC-insider endorsement.
Today, Rudy Giuliani got Pat Robertson. The [...]
