The Tortoise and the Hare

After the most recent polling, www.cnn.com delivered these glorious results:
"Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is the clear front-runner in the crowded GOP presidential field and has a substantial lead on the closest competition, according to a CNN poll released Monday. Giuliani is the preferred candidate for 34 percent of likely Republican voters, according to the poll, conducted by Opinion Research Corp. Giuliani has a double-digit lead over his nearest rival, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who is the choice candidate for 18 percent of potential Republican voters, according to the poll, which had a sampling error of plus or minus 5 percent. Giuliani has made noticeable gains in the GOP race since late January, when he polled at 32 percent and McCain at 26 percent. McCain's support has slumped in the past few weeks and now sits at its lowest point in six months. His campaign, however, said the senator is happy with his role as underdog because it will allow him to surprise the front-runner, as he did during his campaign against President Bush in 2000, when he won the New Hampshire primary."
As Giuliani's lead takes off, I find it quite amusing that McCain must grasp wildly for any excuse or explanation he can. He assumes that, like in the tale of the tortoise and the hair, he will pull ahead and win at the very end. But wait a minute... wasn't it the hair who fell asleep and NOT the tortoise?



McCain is clearly on top of things.

He's no turkey

I’ve heard amazing, inspirational people, real change agents are born on May 28^th, to name a few are singer Kylie Minogue, playmate Leisa Sheridan, NBA superstar Jerry West, American Activist Jack Kevorkian, Ian Lancaster Fleming the author of James Bond, underground railway conductor Eliza Ann Gardner, George I the King of England, and of course, two of the more important names, Brianne Michelle Boyer, and Rudolph William Louis "Rudy" Giuliani III.

RUDY FUN FACT:

Upon searching the World Wide Web for this man, one must not confuse him with the female wild turkey Giuliani, who has lived in Riverside Park, NYC, and ruled the Upper West Side since 2003. To clarify, the turkey was named after Mayor Giuliani and not visa versa. There is no foul/fowl commonality, only the fact that they ruled the city. I imagine Giuliani must have been ecstatic to learn they were naming a female turkey after him. What a way to go down in history!

So who is this man who has the boldness to run for President of the United States after only being a mayor, while most of the competition has experience as a governor or senator? The answer: a man who transformed New York City into the nation’s safest major city. He greatly reduced crime, cleaned up the city, and improved the quality of the city for the residents. He demonstrated astounding leadership during the attack on the World Trade Center crisis, thus resulting in him being named TIME’s 2001 Person of the Year, and knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. These are but a few of his many admirable accomplishments.
