Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani "won big" in the first RINO (Republican in Name Only) awards.
Anyone had the chance to cast their vote on who they thought was the best RINO on Republican presidential candidate Dan Gilbert's website.
According to Gilbert Giuliani took all catagories but one.
Giuliani took:
Most Likely to Drive a Bridge to Nowhere to Work (22 percent),
Most Likely to Don a Tinfoil Hat (21 percent),
Most Likely to Carry an ACLU Card in his Wallet (24 percent),
Most Likely to Attend a Barbara Streisand Concert (28 percent),
Most Likely to have a Barak Obama Poster in their Bedroom (21 percent),
and the Most Likely to Drive Ted Kennedy Home from an Evening Out (22 percent).
Gilbert has mailed these recipients their first RINO award statue:
Presidential Candidate Rudy Giuliani
Senator Jon Kyl (AZ)
Senator and Presidential Candidate John McCain (AZ)
Senator Mel Martinez (FL)
Senator Richard Lugar (IN)
Senator Olympia Snowe (ME)
Senator Trent Lott (MS)
Senator Chuck Hagel (NE)
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (CA)
Senator Arlen Spector (PA) and
Senator Lindsey Graham (SC)
"In all seriousness, there are many voters out there who are passionate about whether or not their elected officials are true to their campaign promises and the letter that stands beside their name. The RINO statue awards are on the way and will arrive in a few days, to let incumbents and other elected officials know they are on notice," commented Gilbert.

Paul Should Be In Debate
Ron Paul has not been invited to Fox News' Republican debate that will be on Sunday, just two days before the New Hampshire primary.
It is my belief that Paul should be in this debate, seeing that he is one of the top money raisers in either party. Also, Paul's exclusion from this debate will hurt Fox News' "fair and balance" slogan as it is already evident that Fox News host Sean Hannity does not like Paul.

Romney Gets Anti-Endorsement from NH Newspaper
The New Hampshire Concord Monitor made an anti-endorsement instead of an endorsement for the Republican presidential nomination for 2008. The paper's editors told readers why Mitt Romney "surely must be stopped."
The paper said: "When New Hampshire partisans are asked to defend the state's first-in-the-nation primary, we talk about our ability to see the candidates up close, ask tough questions and see through the baloney. If a candidate is a phony, we assure ourselves and the rest of the world, we'll know it. Mitt Romney is such a candidate. New Hampshire Republicans and independents must vote no."

Fmr. Sen. Bob Smith Endorses Hunter
Former New Hampshire Senator Bob Smith endorsed Duncan Hunter for President today. "Congressman Hunter is a moral man, an inspirational leader and a no nonsense conservative who will always put 'principle above politics' in the image of the late great New Hampshire patriot Meldrim Thomson," said Smith.
Smith served in the U.S. Senate from 1990-2003 and made a brief run for President in 2000 as a Republican, Constitution candidate and Independent before dropping out and endorsing Bush. In 2004 Smith, after losing re-nomination in 2002 and moving to Florida to be a real estate agent, endorsed Democrat John Kerry for President because of Kerry's plan to reduce the national debt.
It has also been rumored that Smith is considering making a run for the Constitution Party presidential nomination in 2008.

Tancredo Quits Race, Endorses Romney
Tom Tancredo ended his campaign for the Republican nomination today and endorsed Mitt Romney.
The Colorado congressman ended his campaign because he did not want to be a spoiler that could lead to a candidate that is weak on immigration getting the nomination. Tancredo said that Romney has a "solid record" on immigration and he could "go the distance."

Paul: Huckabee May Be A Fascist
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul says that Mike Huckabee's Christmas ad in which Huckabee mentions Christ reminds him "of what Sinclair Lewis once said. He says, 'When fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross.'"
Paul did go onto say that: "Now I don't know whether that's a fair assessment or not, but you wonder about using a cross, like he is the only Christian or implying that subtly."
Columnist James P. Pinkerton pointed out this quoteabout the Bible from President Franklin Roosevelt, who fought fascism: "It is a fountain of strength ... a comprehensive study of the Bible is a liberal education for anyone."

Romney: Huckabee Too Liberal
Mitt Romney has attacked Mike Huckabee as being too liberal to get to get the GOP nomination. Romney said that the former Arkansas governor has been: "too liberal on immigration," "too liberal on crime" and "too liberal of a spending record and too liberal of a tax record."
"I'm convinced that as people take a close look, that the good, conservative Republicans of South Carolina will be supporting a conservative candidate like myself and they won't be supporting governor Huckabee," says Romney despite a poll that shows Huckabee with a small lead in South Carolina.

Lieberman Endorses McCain
Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, who was the 2000 Democratic Vice presidential nominee, endorsed Republican John McCain for President today.
"I know that it is unusual for someone who is not a Republican to endorse a Republican candidate for President. And if this were an ordinary time and an ordinary election, I probably would not be here today. But this is no ordinary time -- and this is no ordinary election -- and John McCain is no ordinary candidate," said Lieberman, who lost the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate last year but won re-election as an Indpendent.
He went onto say: "You may not agree with John McCain on every issue, but you can always count on him to be honest with you about where he stands, you can always count on him to stand for what he believes is right for our country -- regardless of pressure from politicians or vested interests. And you can count on him to be restless in pursuit of progress. In that sense, John McCain is the real change candidate in this race for the Presidency."

Three Papers Endorse McCain Today
The Des Moines Register, Boston Globe and the New Hampshire Portsmouth Harald endorsed Sen. John McCain for the Republican presidential nomination today.
"McCain is most ready to lead America in a complex and dangerous world and to rebuild trust at home and abroad by inspiring confidence in his leadership," the Register says.
The Boston Globe says that: "As a lawmaker and as a candidate, McCain has done more than his share to transcend partisanship and promote an honest discussion of the problems facing the United States. He deserves the opportunity to represent his party in November's election."
Finally, the Portsmouth Harald is supporting McCain because: he "has been leading the country from his seat in the U.S. Senate for 20 years. He is a man of integrity and honor who would help the Republicans rid themselves of the stench of Jack Abramoff and other lobbyists and allow the GOP to reclaim its status as the party of fiscal restraint. He is a strong military man prepared from day one to defend our nation against its enemies. Of all the Republicans running, he is by far the best qualified to lead our country."

National Review Endorses Romney
The conservative National Review magazine has endorsed Mitt Romney for President. "Our guiding principle has always been to select the most conservative viable candidate. In our judgment, that candidate is Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts," say the magazine editors.
They go onto say: "Some conservatives question his sincerity. It is true that he has reversed some of his positions. But we should be careful not to overstate how much he has changed. In 1994, when he tried to unseat Ted Kennedy, he ran against higher taxes and government-run health care, and for school choice, a balanced budget amendment, welfare reform, and 'tougher measures to stop illegal immigration.' He was no Rockefeller Republican even then."

CBS News Covers Fendig Campaign
Republican presidential candidate Cap Fendig, who appeared on This Is Politics last Saturday, was featured in an article on the CBS News website in late November.
"I am here to represent the 'little guy' of America," Fendig says. His daughter, Mary Ellyse Fendig, goes onto say that: "He does just hold a local office, but he does a lot of state policy and he's very involved in things that affect our county. But I feel like that's like saying, 'If the Gamecocks thought they couldn't win, they wouldn't still try.' It's a personal ambition of his."
Cap Fendig currently serves as the St. Simons, Georgia, county commissioner and you can visit him on the web at: http://www.capfendig.com/.

Keyes Won't Support Giuliani
In the last Republican presidential candidate debate before the Iowa caucus on January 3 Alan Keyes said that if Rudy Giuliani becomes the nominee he will not support him.
During today's debate, only the second nationally televised debate to include Keyes and the first one in which Keyes and Giulaini shared the platform, the L.A. Times blog reports that: "Keyes pointedly remarked toward the end of today's GOP debate in Iowa that, given his commitment to human life from "the womb to the tomb," he could not back Giuliani (in case anyone was wondering)."
There has been quite a lot of speculation the Keyes will run for the Constitution Party nomination after the Republican primaries.

Gilchrist Backs Huckabee
Minuteman Project founder and 2005 American Independent (California Constitution Party) congressional candidate turned Republican Jim Gilchrist has endorsed Republican Mike Huckabee for president.
"The governor has a [illegal immigration] plan and I appreciate his plan. That's why I'm supporting him. He's one of the few who's actually brought forth a plan and gone public with it. It shows to me that he's willing to engage in the tough love necessary to fix this problem," said Gilchrist.
Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo campaigned for Gilchrist in his 2005 race and Gilchrist has previously expressed interest in seeking the 2008 presidential nomination of the Constitution Party.
