The apparently ever tumultuous personal and political life
of Rudy Giuliani rocks on, with the recent news of his endorsement by
influential conservative leader Pat Robertson followed not long after by news of the federal indictment of his former crony
Bernard Kerik, the unsavory former NYC police commissioner.
Not clear if the two items cancel each other out.
Meanwhile, both Democratic and Republican party leaders are
making some token efforts to reverse the trend of states toward holding earlier
and earlier primaries. The RNC, for example, voted to take away half of Florida's delegates at
the national convention next year .
But there's apparently no stopping those states – now Massachusetts Gov. Deval
Patrick says he supports moving his state's primary up a month earlier, to
February 5 .
Elsewhere on the trail:
Kucinich's bid to impeach Cheney backfires in an embarrassing
way for the Dems.
Time's Mark Halperin says campaigns are “lashing out” at
reporters they say are providing unfair coverage.
Thompson campaign asks supporters to post videos on why they
support Fred in '08.
