So, Rudy Giuiliani is up on the air. The AP links these to Ames, but I wonder… Could these be linked to his falling poll numbers? Stay with me for a second. I have long thought that MItt Romney’s numbers in the early states are somewhat inflated because he is on the air. Whenever you [...]
Details from Mike DuHaime on Rudy Giuliani: 60k donors. Thinks that this can grow.

Rudy Giuliani just announced his Rhode Island leadership team. One name struck me: Republican National Committeeman Robert Manning Why? Because Mitt Romney’s campaign claimed him as an early RNC endorser: Current And Former RNC Committee Members Supporting Governor Romney (Already Announced): … – Robert Manning, RI That the Romney campaign was faking their RNC lists [...]
