For those who don't really know too much about Giuliani, this link has a video which explains all of his platform.

I must say I wasn't looking towards republicans at first, either. But I was shocked to see that Edwards spent $400 of campaign funds for a hair cut, so I don't want him. I mean, if he is wasting funds now, what will he do with my tax dollars? I don't trust Clinton, and Obama, though he seems so sweet, just doesn't seem to have enough experience. Plus, the fact he wants to invade Pakistan makes me question his judgment. So, looked towards the republican party. Turns out in the polls, it's really between Rudy and Clinton, with Obama coming in really close and Edwards struggling to keep up. I think the fact that Rudy is not really the traditional Republican is what is getting him some great support. He is pro choice, which is something that is really odd for the republican party.

I also like the fact that Rudy wants to look to the future instead of going back to what the govrnment used to be in the past. OMG, and his insurance idea! You will die when you hear it! It's untaxed money you get to buy your own insurance. If you buy a policy and don't spend all the money, you get to keep the excess....nice, huh? So, say you get 15,000 and buy one for only 9,000....you get 6,000 in pocket to use for what you need. His idea is that these companies will become competive and lower prices to get your business. He explains it all in the link I posted above.

And if you believe that one I've got some swampland in Florida to sell ya.
Are you old enough to remember Ronald Reagan and his "trickle-down economics"? It didn't hold true then and it doesn't hold true today and it won't hold true tomorrow - and that's why I will NEVER vote Republican again.
As far as Edwards' haircut goes, you obviously didn't get the true/whole story. Edwards was on the road and had an interview the next day and didn't have time to get a haircut that day because he had so much going on. So that night local hairdressers/barbers were called and the one they got ahold of said they would come to his hotel, but they would charge him $200. Because the person had to come to the hotel so late and did a good job, they were given a $200 tip. So a local hairdresser that probably doesn't make that much money got a good price and a decent tip for coming out at night to a hotel, which I think was nice of Edwards to begin with, to pay extra because the hair salon was closed, and then gave the person a great tip, and for that he's villified!
Every candidate alive has probably had their share of $400 haircuts - I know Hillary has. And if you think Republicans spend less! You don't know Rudy Gulliani very well!
Edwards has my vote all the way.

I'm personally an Obama fan.
The Positive: He's a fresh face, was a community organizer on the South side of Chicago where he gained the ability to emphasize with average Americans. He's worked at the local, state and federal level. The very fact that he chose to do community organizing (which paid him $18k/yr out of Columbia) reflects on his genuine character, and I think we need that kind of honestly in Washington.
The Negative: I think he could have used a couple more years in the US Senate. But that said, I think a good VP with some foreign policy expertise could seal the deal.
But that's me.

Rudy Giuliani is favored by the anti-terrorists and liberal Republicans.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

Yeah, Giuliani, has the lead with me, I just doubt that he might have the nerve to react if there was some kind of threat in America, then it would be Obama in 2nd....

I want someone who is not a neocon. I want someone who will balance the budget, end the outsourcing of our jobs overseas, keep our country safe without taking away our freedom and liberty, and eliminate unfair tax break that favor the wealthy over the middle class

I'm going for Edwards for a new direction.
I doubt any of the Republicans have much of a chance.
