I’m starting to think that Rudy Giuliani is not going to take the path most observers thought he would take with regards to abortion.

This is news to me:
ANOTHER Kennedy is about to run for public office. At his Newport fund-raiser the other night, Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) told a Page Six spy his brother, Ted Kennedy Jr., who lives in New Haven, is eyeing a Connecticut congressional seat. “Patrick says support for his brother is building, and Ted […]

Giuliani’s firm has a long history of lobbying against environmental regulations for energy companies working in the coal, oil, gas, and nuclear fields. Many of […]

Marc Santora and Sam Roberts of the New York Times have an article out today documenting Rudy Giuliani’s ways of talking about immigration and how, to borrow their words, his tone has shifted now that he’s in the presidential race. As mayor of New York Giuliani held what would be considered fairly liberal positions on […]
