"Money in the off year has never been more important than in this presidential cycle," said Michael Toner, a former Federal Election Commission chairman.

Clinton vows to end war if elected

By Charlotte Eby
Of The Globe Gazette Des Moines Bureau

DES MOINES — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton pledged during a trip to Iowa today that if President Bush does not end the war in Iraq by the end of his term, she will if she is elected president.

She said if Bush still has the U.S. mired in the Iraq war by that time, it would be “one of the most irresponsible positions any American president” has ever taken

Liberals biggest hurdle for Romney?

Conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt thinks Mitt Romney's biggest opposition comes not from evangelical Christians who view Mormonism as a cult, but rather from secular liberals who remain skeptical of anyone who believes in revelation, divine intervention or miracles.

Writers in Slate and The New Republic, for example, called Romney's Mormon beliefs ludicrous and suggested that believing them disqualified him from office. That is bigotry, pure and simple, Hewitt says, and all people of faith should condemn it - or no one is safe.

Is it possible that the Mainstream Media that is always demaning toleration for the Islmofacists that are trying to Kill Americans are prejudice against Mormans?

Rudy Giuliani Makes Campaign Stop In Oakland

CBS 5 / AP) OAKLAND

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, in a Bay Area campaign appearance Friday, said he's not a perfect person and asked voters to judge his private life in the context of his performance as mayor of New York.

"I was able to handle the worst attack in the history of our country, while all these things the press is caring about were going on," Giuliani said, when asked how conservative voters might judge his personal conduct. "So I think when people look at it fairly, they will see it has nothing to do with job performance."

March 24, 2007 - Posted at 12:00 a.m.
BY DAVID HEIBEL - VICTORIA ADVOCATE

Republican Ron Paul's "no" vote against a spending measure that passed the House on Friday was based on economics not war, while Democrats Ruben Hinojosa of Mercedes and Lloyd Doggett of Austin said "yes" to force the president to bring the troops out of Iraq by next year.

"Ron Paul has consistently voted against supplemental appropriations legislation," said Tom Lizardo, chief of staff for the Surfside Beach congressman. "The only supplemental appropriations legislation Ron Paul has ever voted for was the original appropriation in response to the 9/11 attacks for the Afghanistan effort against the Taliban. ... Both the war-related and non-war-related spending proposed by the legislation was off budget and fiscally irresponsible.

Possible Fred Thompson Candidacy Animates Conservatives

Mar 22, 2007

(US News) The possibility that former Senator Fred Thompson of Tennessee might run for president has animated many conservative leaders who are unhappy with the GOP choices that exist now.

They consider Thompson a strong conservative with stellar communications skills and an interesting resume that includes success and fame as a movie and TV actor. All this reminds many of Ronald Reagan, an icon of the right.

"Fred says he might run and he would be a real threat for the Republican nomination," says a prominent conservative who is neutral in the presidential race so far. The problem: Is Thompson willing to devote the time and energy needed for a run?

Message to Giuliani and Romney: Just Say No to Drive-By Politics

By Marc H. Morial,
President and CEO, National Urban League
March 12, 2007

Back in November, the National Urban League extended invitations of anyone considering a presidential run to speak at our annual conference this July in St. Louis, Mo. We figured they'd have no legitimate excuse not to come if we started our outreach two years before Election Day. Well, we were wrong.

After two rounds of invitations, we've received two rejections - from former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Giuliani has got some bigger fish to fry, apparently, and is so busy that he's got not just one but two scheduling conflicts that render him unable to grace our stage. I understand the 2008 presidential campaign is already underway - well before elections of the past-but it's not as if we're holding our convention in midst of the primary season.

A look at how the state currently plays the game and efforts to change its status.

California's role in the 2008 presidential race has been highlighted in recent weeks. First, the state has seen a virtual parade of presidential hopefuls roam through, mostly seeking financial support.

Second, in an effort to see its role go beyond that of national "ATM," the legislature has pushed a plan for an early presidential primary. That effort is also linked to efforts to extend term limits and redraw state and national political districts.

"In the absence of those conditions we're just throwing money away," Obama said during a campaign stop in Dubuque.

John McCain Says Republicans Spent Their Way Into Losing Control of Congress

CONWAY, S.C. — Republicans spent their way into losing control of Congress, presidential candidate John McCain says.

"The reason why we lost that election, my dear friends, was because we let spending get out of control," McCain told a breakfast crowd Saturday. "We came to power in 1994 to change government and government changed us."

McCain told the 225 people gathered at a restaurant on a bend in the Waccamaw River, not far from Myrtle Beach, that Republicans began to value power over principle, which caused spending to lurch completely out of control.

"It's got to stop," he said of the excesses, which also led to corruption among members of Congress. "We're going to have to clean up our act."

Hunter slams Dem Iraq funding plan

WASHINGTON,
March 9 (UPI) --

A prominent Republican has slammed the Democrats' plan to condition Iraq war funding on troop readiness.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., the ranking Republican on the Armed Services Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, was critical of the new funding proposal for the conflict in Iraq that was unveiled Thursday by congressional Democrats.

"We should reject any Democratic proposal that puts U.S. forces in a straitjacket, which is a recipe for disaster. Our founding fathers wisely established a single commander-in-chief to oversee the military and its movements on the battlefield. They never intended members of Congress to micro-manage military operations," Hunter said.

The Coming Entitlement Meltdown
by Ron Paul

David Walker, Comptroller General at the Government Accountability Office, appeared on the show “60 Minutes” last evening to discuss the federal budget outlook. If you saw the show, you know that he painted a very sobering picture regarding the federal government’s ability to meet its future obligations.

If you didn’t see the show, Mr. Walker’s theme was simple: government entitlement spending is like a runaway freight train headed straight at American taxpayers. He singled out the Medicare prescription drug bill, passed by Congress at the end of 2003, as “probably the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation since the 1960s.”

Craig was a White House special counsel defending President Bill Clinton in the Senate impeachment trial. A partner in the Williams & Connolly law firm founded by the legendary Edward Bennett Williams, Craig served as an adviser to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

In confirming to this column his Presidential preference, Craig called Obama unique and added: “I’ve never seen anyone who has made the impact on people and on me.” He said he was impressed with Obama when he first met him at the home of investment banker Vernon Jordan, an intimate friend and supporter of the Clintons.

It seems that quite a few of the Democrat power brokers are figuring out what many of us "regular" people in flyover country have known for a long time. Hillary Rodam Clinton has neither the popularity nor the personality of her husband.

Giuliani up 25 points over McCain: poll

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful Rudolph Giuliani, virtually tied with John McCain in a January poll, held a 25-point lead over the Arizona senator in a Newsweek magazine survey released on Saturday.

Among registered Republicans, 59 percent said they backed the former New York City mayor and 34 percent said they favored McCain, who announced on Wednesday he would seek the presidency in 2008, Newsweek said.

"Most registered Republicans are not familiar with Giuliani's positions on key social issues," the magazine said, listing his support for abortion rights and gun control as examples.

Early Polls are almost as important and the wishes of French voters. Totally insignificant in other words ---- On the other hand we can take comfort in the fact that Senator McCain is so far behind at this point.
