| Who in your opinion will be the final 2 candidates running for President? Will Hillary make it or will Obama, or Dennis Kucinich or someone we havent seen? Will Mitt Romney get the Repulican ticket or will it be Guiliani, McCain or Ron Paul. This is going to be a good but muddy campaign. |

Giuliani's leading in many of the polls, but it looks like his campaign just got a swift kick in the nuts today:
| quote: | As New York mayor, Rudy Giuliani billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptons, according to previously undisclosed government records.
The documents, obtained by Politico under New York’s Freedom of Information Law, show that the mayoral costs had nothing to do with the functions of the little-known city offices that defrayed his tabs, including agencies responsible for regulating loft apartments, aiding the disabled and providing lawyers for indigent defendants.
At the time, the mayor’s office refused to explain the accounting to city auditors, citing “security.”
The Hamptons visits resulted in hotel, gas and other costs for Giuliani’s New York Police Department security detail.
Giuliani’s relationship with Nathan is old news now, and Giuliani regularly asks voters on the campaign trail to forgive his "mistakes."
It’s also impossible to know whether the purpose of all the Hamptons trips was to see Nathan. A Giuliani spokeswoman declined to discuss any aspect of this story, which was explained in detail to her earlier this week.

Bummer.
We're coming down to the last few weeks before the first primary, so I'm willing to bet this illegal activity will be used by Giuliani's opponents pretty quickly. If this ends up sticking, he'll be gone fast. From then on I'd say Romney with the dark horse Huckabee coming up from behind (to which I think Huck is the strongest of the Republican candidates).
For the Dems., unfortunately Hillary's still leading most everywhere, but she has dropped considerably in Iowa to Obama. I'd love to see Obama or even Edwards kick her in her nuts (yes, I think she has a pair hidden somewhere), but she's got a load of pull, a load of money, still a load of momentum elsewhere, and of course - Bubba.
Which BTW, what was that comment by Bubba today about tax cuts and illegal immigrants all about? Huh? |

I'm sticking with my original prediction:
Clinton / Giuliani |
