Salon just released the most hilarious cartoon. And, if I may say, its totally on the mark.

DailyKos writer Jake McIntyre released a piece earlier today predicting that Rudy Giuliani’s presidential bid is effectively over because in 2001 he illegally billed several obscure city agencies for expenses related to his affair with Judith Nathan. While Giuliani’s philandering is old news, playing at the expense of the taxpayers is alarming to say the least. Giuliani, of course, has denied allegations, but they’ve been independently confirmed by Fox News. The American people aren’t going to let this go. And they shouldn’t.

Rolling Stone recognized that Paul is the only Republican speaking out against the war in Iraq, and just published an interview with him. In typical Paul fashion, his answers are blunt and honest without being rude. Whether or not you like Paul, you have to admit that he brings a fresh perspective to the presidential race. Its a short interview, just six questions. Here’s a quote…
If someone is unhappy with the Bush policy, they would find Giuliani’s would be even more extreme.
If you like Paul its worth a read.

A recent poll shows Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton is falling behind several Republican candidates in the polls. This is an about face from poll indications over the summer, which had Hillary out in front of all other candidates by a comfortable margin. According to one pollster, questions about Clinton’s electability have always been present, and are becoming more prevalent as the election approaches. This is a very interesting turn of events.

Ron Paul’s fanatic supporters have made him popular on the web, and he is slowly inching up in the polls, but he’s still an underdog candidate behind Giuliani, Thompson, Romney and others. The mainstream press hasn’t given him much attention, presumably because his politics are unorthodox. The Washington Post just released an article with some thoughts on libertarianism, and why America might be ready for a libertarian candidate.

I’ve read articles about Rudy Giuliani’s shadiness, we now have confirmed evidence. In a radio ad Giuliani makes the point that socialized medicine is less effective than our current free market system with the following statement
I had prostate cancer five, six years ago. My chance of surviving prostate cancer — and, thank God, I was cured of it — in the United States? Eighty-two percent. My chance of surviving prostate cancer in England? Only forty-four percent under socialized medicine.
Several people have questioned Rudy’s statistics and come up with entirely different numbers. When confronted, Giuliani stated that this ad will not be pulled. Is this the behavior that we want from our President?

Colorado Congressman and Republican hopeful Tom Tancredo has announced that he won’t seek reelection for his congressional seat. When questioned he said that he’s accomplished all that he’s going to in that office, that he’s tired of the commute, and that he wants to spend more time with his grandchildren. “You have to have a fire in your belly to do this, to get on that plane every week.” That’s all fine and good, but why then is he still in the presidential race? Wouldn’t that require a similar fire in the belly?

In the latest bout between Mike Gravel and NBC, Gravel vowed to answer the same questions as the other candidates in live web cast. He also garnered some serious support. After crying corporate censorship Gregory Chase offered NBC $1M in either advertising or cash outright to allow Gravel to appear with in the televised debate. Not only that, he’s also offered $25k to the individual that posts the most popular Gravel video on YouTube. NBC apparently wasn’t interested because there was no response, but Chase did manage to get some major press coverage for both himself and his candidate, including an interview on NPR’s All Things Considered. Such fanatical support will definitely help Gravel, but will it be enough? I’ll stand by my earlier prediction. One thing that did catch my eye though, Chase has also said that he likes Ron Paul, though he hasn’t offered the same amount of public support for Paul.

Former Clinton supporter and one-time donor Peter Paul recently released a video to get the word out about what he believes is proof that Hillary is corrupt. Back in 2000 Paul (not to be confused with GOP candidate Ron Paul) threw a support party for Clinton to support her in her campaign for New York Senator. The proof he offers is a clip of Hillary thanking him for staging a fund raiser.

While discussing his thoughts on torture, GOP hopeful Rudy Giuliani made the following comment…
They talk about sleep deprivation. I mean, on that theory, I’m getting tortured running for president of the United States. That’s plain silly. That’s silly.
I’ve been leaning away from Giuliani for some time. All of his fanciful 9/11 claims, his cross dressing, his disregard for the 2nd amendment. Now he’s crying about the being under the public microscope? His comment indicates not only that he doesn’t understand sleep deprivation, but also that the pressure and scrutiny are wearing him down.
Rudy, this is what it means to run for president. We’re not giving this office away, you have to earn it.
