If the Florida Republican primary were held today, the former New York City mayor would finish on top with the support of 38 percent of likely primary voters, according to the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll. http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/11/27/florida.gop.poll/?iref=hpmostpop Surprise in Store in Giuliani Files? (Boston Globe 11/27/07) To many unfamiliar with Rudy Giuliani's record as New York's mayor, "The Giuliani Files" might be something akin to "The X-Files. The truth is out there," Giuliani's critics are saying. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2007/11/27/surprise_in_store_in_giuliani.html Romney: Giuliani Praised Clinton Plan (AP 11/27/07) ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Tuesday said rival Rudy Giuliani "had nothing but praise" when then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton proposed a universal health care plan. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jbtDCZlxmTie6JVMp4cG-s8ZzKVQD8T69HI01 Romney: Romney Denies Vowing No Muslims In Cabinet (CBS 11/27/07) Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is facing questions about religion today. And for once, it's not his own. Speaking to reporters after a health care forum in St. Petersburg, Florida, Romney emphatically disputed a Muslim businessman’s account of what transpired at a mid-November fundraising event in Las Vegas. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/27/politics/main3544666.shtml?source=mostpop_story Romney, for first time, backs nationwide abortion ban (The State 11/27/07) Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has a new mail piece touting his support of a federal Constitutional amendment, but that has not always been the case. http://thestatecom.typepad.com/ygatoday/2007/11/romney-flyer-sh.html Hatch: Romney should say he's his own man (AP 11/27/07) SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney probably should give a speech to declare he's not a captive of the Mormon church, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch said Tuesday. http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2007-11-27-hatch-romney_N.htm Romney mailing goes after rivals on gay marriage (Boston Globe 11/27/07) The colorful brochure from Mitt Romney's presidential campaign looks like many of the political fliers flooding Iowa mail boxes this time of the year. But there is a difference. The piece is Romney's first to single out his rivals by name, a shift that shows him becoming more aggressive in the final weeks before the Jan. 3 caucuses. http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2007/11/romney_mailing.html Thompson: Flat Tax Fred (Wall Street Journal 11/28/07) Fred Thompson's Presidential campaign has been struggling, in part because of a sense that he lacks passion and an agenda. But late last week he unveiled a tax reform that is more ambitious than anything we've seen so far from the rest of the GOP field. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119620981461605916.html Fred Thompson Too Lazy, Listless, and Lame? (OutSideTheBeltway.com 11/28/07) In yet another sign of trouble for his much-hyped candidacy, longtime Fred Thompson backer Steve Bainbridge is stopping just short of withdrawing his endorsement — but only because he still thinks the other alternatives are even worse. http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/2007/11/fred_thompson_too_lazy_listless_and_lame/ Two new 'bio' ads from Thompson (USA Today 11/27/07) Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson reminds voters that he helped "expose the truth during Watergate" and touts his credentials as a "true conservative" in a new TV ad going on the air in Iowa. In a second spot, also aimed Iowa caucus-goers and also largely a "biographical" ad aimed at telling his life story, a whistle-blower who Thompson helped 30 years ago in Tennessee says "he had the courage to take on my fight."

And it's the perfect place for a preacher- turned-politician like Mike Huckabee to take a walk, and take a break from the rigors of the presidential campaign. http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/11/27/king.huckabee/ Huckabee gets key Florida endorsement (PalmBeachPost.com 11/27/07) ORLANDO — GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee picked up an endorsement from one of Florida's most influential conservative politicians this evening in advance of Wednesday night's Republican debate in St. Petersburg. http://www.palmbeachpost.com/state/content/nation/epaper/2007/11/27/1127huckabee.html Huckabee And The Money-Cons (CBS 11/27/07) Matt Yglesias notes that Christian conservative darling Mike Huckabee is gaining on Mitt Romney in Iowa: “In retrospect, it all sort of makes you wonder why social conservatives didn't just get behind Huckabee in the first place, rather than blessing Romney's preposterous conversion to religious right values and trying to drag Fred Thompson into the race. Sure, Huckabee's not well-liked by the economic hard-right, but cultural conservatives' objections to Giuliani didn't stop his backers from pushing him on the party.” http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/27/politics/animal/main3546403.shtml McCain: McCain Doubts Progress in Peace Talks (11/27/07) ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful John McCain said Tuesday that progress in peace talks between Israeli and Arab officials is doubtful because Middle East terrorists don't want Israel to exist. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5j0_uqxtr2MTx8f5FVQYxyS4iIHmgD8T6B1A88 McCain leads Clinton in new poll, trails Obama (Phoenix Business Journal 11/27/07) A new national poll shows Arizona Sen.

John McCain, R-Ariz., began running an unusual radio spot in New Hampshire. In it, McCain says: "I think the time is past when we argue about whether climate change is real or not. We have an obligation to future generations to take action and fix it." http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=3922730&page=1 No buildup in support for McCain (LA Times 11/28/07) ANDERSON, S.C. -- Finally, nearly five years into the Iraq war, John McCain sees vindication at hand. More than any other candidate for president, McCain has tied his fortunes to support for sending more U.S. troops into the unpopular war. Now that violence in Iraq has waned after a troop buildup, McCain wants some credit. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-mccain28nov28,0,3686487.story?coll=la-home-center
