[Grovenet] Creeeeeeek! The Elephant Moves...

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani,
acclaimed for his leadership after the September 11 attacks, confirmed he is
running for U.S. president in 2008, eliminating any lingering doubt about
his candidacy...

National polls have shown Giuliani leads eight other Republicans, in part
because of his steely and comforting leadership amid the chaos of the 2001
hijacked plane attacks that brought down New York's most visible
landmark....

However, he faces an uphill battle winning over conservatives who wield
considerable influence in party primaries because of his stance on some
social issues, including his support for gay rights and abortion rights.

Here's a chance to get the Republican Elephant back to center stage again,
if only he can pry himself loose of the extremists who have dominated the
party for years.

I think 2008 is going to be one of the most exciting and opportunity-filled
Presidential elections in many years. There's nothing like having our
international reputation trampled in the mud, our economic future clouded
under a huge trade imbalance, our national security hanging on a razor's
edge in the hands of the oil-exporting countries, our education system no
longer able to produce grads who can compete with other nations, and one of
the least-popular Presidents in history in office to make our future
prospects ...er... "interesting".
