President

• Hampton Roads has a current Presidential Scorecard.
• Dennis Prager of The Conservative Voice interviewed former Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Some blogs and writers are saying that Giuliani “dissed” McCain in the interview but if you look at the transcript:

  “I don’t know how I differ from John. I mean, John and I have pretty much the same view on the war, as best I can tell. I mean, I think he is…it may be that I’m more firmly committed to tax cutting than he is, although he has vote for some tax cuts. He hasn’t voted for others. I’m not sure. But John and I are good friends, and if we do end up running against each other, it’ll be interesting to see where and how we differ.”

  I don’t entirely see how that is a “diss”, especially considering the trash talk that is likely to come down the line.
