A bomb just dropped in the Presidential race. Rudy Giuliani was going to win the nomination by placing or showing in , but not winning, a bunch of early primary states. And then he was going to win in Florida. But a new Rasmussen poll, if verified with more polling, would explode that theory:

Another month. More lousy housing numbers:
A total of 223,538 foreclosure filings were reported in September, up from 112,210 in the same month a year ago, according to Irvine-based RealtyTrac Inc.
The number of filings in September was down 8 percent from August’s 243,947, the firm said.

From WESH Orlando:
Flagler County is the fastest-growing county in the United States. One of every five homes in Flagler County is for sale. Celebration is feeling the same pain because 50 percent of the homes there are for sale. Moss Park, east of Orlando International, where nearly 9 percent of the homes are in foreclosure, […]

American Home Mortgage Investment Corp. shares plunged 89 percent after the lender said it doesn’t have cash to fund new loans and may have to sell off assets. …
American Home caters to borrowers whose credit scores fall just short of standards for top-rated mortgages. The […]
More bad news on the housing front. Here are some maps and charts. Note Florida and Nevada. Not that Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or New Mexico are doing well. These charts are from the WSJ, via The Big Picture.
These might also make taking back a couple of House seats tough. Pombo’s, Clay Shaw’s and Foley’s […]
Update: Virginians for Fred Thompson has some pictures of geriatric Young Republicans, including a nice explanation of what actually happened at the straw poll.
The Mitt Romney campaign has usually been quick to announce straw poll results. I haven’t seen an announcement yet for the one at the Young Republican National Convention 2007. There have been […]
