Bad Day For Giuliani: Part Two

You would think if you were the frontrunner for the Republican nomination in the state that hasn't voted for a Republican presidential candidate in 22 years, the state party would be 100% behind you, right?

Wrong

Rudy Giuliani doesn't seem to have the support of Joseph Mondello, Chairman of the New York State Republican Committee (and the guy who led the Nassau County Republicans off a cliff), at least not yet. Mondello has put the brakes on Empire State GOP politicians from supporting Giuliani. As such, no Republican in the state legislature has endorsed the former New York City mayor.

Meanwhile Hillary Rodham Clinton has gotten support from nearly EVERY elected Democrat in New York State. The Arizona Republican Party has thrown it's support 100% behind Giuliani's chief rival John McCain.

Caveat: Joseph Mondello is a close confidant of former Senator Al D'Amato (R-New York) stemming from their days on top of the Nassau County Republican machine.

D'Amato and Giuliani, not really friends.
