New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg would get a significant percentage of New Jersey votes if he ran for President, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll of likely voters.

By a 10-3 vote, a state GOP advisory committee considering delegate selection plans for the 2008 Republican presidential primary has recommended a winner-take-all plan proposed by Cape May County GOP Chairman David Von Savage.  The full 42-member Republican State Committee must now vote on the proposal, which appears to benefit the candidacy of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the organizational front-runner in New Jersey.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain has picked up the endorsements of two Republican County Chairmen: Keith Davis of Atlantic and Richard DiMichele of Camden. The two South Jersey counties make up about 11% of the Republican primary voters statewide. Rita Shade, a former Salem County GOP Chair, also announced her support of McCain.

Rudy Giuliani, the front runner in the February 5, 2008 New Jersey Republican primary, has endorsements from twelve of the 21 County Chairmen, representing about 65% of the total GOP primary voters in the state. He also has the backing of Rep. Frank LoBiondo, who lives in Atlantic County.

I didn't need any new reasons to vote against Rudy Gulliani. There was already the dragging of the investment bankers out of their offices in handcuffs. None were ever convicted of anything.
