...three Democratic candidates - Clinton, Edwards and Obama - all support stem cell research. On the GOP side both Giuliani and McCain do too. The conservative candidates - Romney, Brownback, Huckabee and likely candidate Fred Thompson - firmly oppose such research, which is anathema to their pro-life supporters. As Brownback said during the Senate's April vote on the issue, "This would say we can treat humans at the youngest age of their life continuum as property and that we will use Federal taxpayer dollars to destroy them and to do research on them...
...Klein called Rudy Giuliani's dismissal of Paul a "historic slam dunk" and said he "reduced Paul to history." Neither Giuliani nor Klein seems capable of debating Paul's assertion on its merit. Could this be because Paul's argument is too strong, too logical? Paul's assertion that our actions abroad reap consequences at home is the real slam dunk (in the pre-George Tenet sense of the term). Paul has not become history, but rather his view is grounded in history. I hope that other candidates will respond to his point. That could lead to a meaningful exchange...

Following a successful stint as the boss in Boston, in 1994 he stepped into the chief's job in New York City, where he helped Mayor Rudy Giuliani tamp down spiraling crime wave by focusing on community policing and relying more on technology to track and map crime patterns...
...Bratton is usually up to those sorts of challenges because he is a shrewd politician, and, as police chiefs go, a charismatic figure. (Several years ago he was even touted as a New York mayoral candidate, and he ultimately left the NYPD in part because Giuliani thought he was stealing the limelight by taking too much credit for the drop in crime.) He has cultivated good working relationships with many disparate and powerful elements in the city. He tapped longtime LAPD critic and civil rights lawyer Constance Rice to write a report on the Rampart scandal and to oversee compliance...
