      Rudy: 'Barack Obama Has Never Led Anything'

      (Newser) - Rudy Giuliani tonight delivered the most blistering attack yet on Barack Obama's qualifications to be president, belittling him as a "celebrity senator" with no legislative record to speak of, MSNBC reports. "He’s never run a city, he’s never run a state, he’s never run a business, he’s never run a military unit,” Giuliani said. “He’s never had to lead people in crisis." It's not a personal attack, he said, but merely a "statement of fact." More »

      Tonight's RNC Viewing Guide

      (Newser) - Tonight, Sarah Palin takes center stage at the Republican National Convention, and Politico's Martin Kady II has your viewer's guide: What pregnancy? The maverick will focus on proving she can "do the heavy lifting on policy." Geography round: Palin will drop some knowledge on "despots and dictators" to prove she can handle the terrorist threat.

      Sunday Pundits Dissect Biden Pick

      (Newser) - The newly announced Obama/Biden ticket predictably dominated the talk shows today. Politico gives the run-down: Obama VP adviser Caroline Kennedy told Meet the Press she hoped Joe Biden would prove to be as sage a pick as her father's choice of LBJ. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi turned Biden's rep for gaffes into a snipe at Bush on NBC, saying Obama "is not just choosing a yes man, but a person that will speak what he believes.” More »

      Rudy Nabs Primetime RNC Speech

      (Newser) - Rudy Giuliani has tentatively been tapped for a primetime role on the second night of the Republican Convention in St. Paul, Minn., the New York Post reports. The former New York mayor and presidential candidate has thrown his support behind John McCain since dropping out of the race. Giuliani was a primetime speaker on the first night of the 2004 RNC in his native Big Apple. More »

      McCain Misfires by Targeting Prosecutions

      (Newser) - Terrorism may be the one issue on which John McCain out-polls his presidential rival, Jonathan Chait writes in the New Republic , yet he has faltered by slamming Obama's call to prosecute terrorists. None other than 9/11 hawk Rudy Giuliani wanted prosecutions too—and other options, like guns and bombs, don't always work. Would anyone want an anti-terror air strike in downtown New York? More »

      Look Well Beyond Nov. in Picking Your Running Mate

      (Newser) - It’s a myth that running mates put a ticket over the top, former Bush speechwriter David Frum writes in the New Republic —so John McCain might as well just look to the future of the Republican Party. "Keep in mind that, when you choose, you may well be choosing a future leader of the party," Frum pleads, "a leader whose impact could well equal or exceed your own." More »

      Poll: New Yorkers Back Recognizing Gay Marriages

      (Newser) - New Yorkers favor their governor’s order to recognize out of-state same-sex marriages by a 13-point margin, a new poll reveals. By 53%-40%, state residents agree with David Paterson's order—though only 43% said gays should be allowed to marry, the Times reports, with 31% favoring civil unions and 21% rejecting recognition of homosexual couples altogether.

    • What's Next for Spitzer?

      What's Next for Spitzer?

      (Newser) - Amid reports that Eliot Spitzer has been caught on a wiretap in a prostitution investigation, stunned political bloggers are speculating on whether the New York governor will resign, parsing how we got here—and where we go: Politicians have outlived sex scandals in the past, writes Mark Silva, but “so much of Spitzer’s persona is invested in his own enforcement of the law,” and politics is “unforgiving of hypocrisy.” There’s no resignation yet, but New Yorkers should start reading up on their lieutenant governor.

      Clinton Stumps on SNL

      (Newser) - She was supposed to be campaigning in Ohio last night—but instead Hillary Clinton was live from New York. Like last week, Saturday Night Live opened with a debate sketch parodying a recent Clinton-Obama debate, with the Dems played by SNL regulars. The real Hillary appeared immediately after with an “Editorial Response.” More »

      Pet Ferrets: Cute, Cuddly, Illegal

      (Newser) - Americans own about 2 million ferrets, and some are asking why they remain illegal in several states and cities. “Martin Luther King said an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” one ferret advocate said. “And this is an injustice.” Opponents say that owners are imprisoning wild animals, but defenders maintain that a common breed has been domesticated for centuries.

      Hillary Finds Herself in Rudy's Spot

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton’s nomination bid suddenly resembles the plan that failed Rudy Giuliani: Like Hizzoner’s Florida firewall, Clinton must hope voters in Texas and Ohio are unaffected by a month of good news for Barack Obama. Clinton still leads polls in the big states that vote March 4, and her move is to downplay a string of Democratic victorie
