Giuliani's Poll Numbers
By Thomas Beaumont
Des Moines Register
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani said Thursday he would compete in the Iowa caucuses, even if the leadoff nominating contest were held in December.
"Absolutely," the former New York mayor said in a Des Moines Register interview. "I was teasing yesterday. I said I thought they were going to be held next week."
Giuliani also said he was making a concerted push to catch up organizationally with some of his opponents in Iowa, having sidestepped last Saturday's Republican straw poll.
"Yes, but there's plenty of time to do it," said Giuliani, who campaigned in Iowa Wednesday. "In our case, there is still a very, very long time before the Iowa caucuses."
Giuliani has spent five days in Iowa over the last two weeks and begun visiting smaller towns after concentrating on a few larger cities during his relatively few Iowa trips last spring.
His campaign launched his second radio advertisement this week aimed at his immigration reform proposal, and has been adding to his campaign staff in Iowa.
Giuliani has been campaigning aggressively in a number of the populous states planning to hold their primaries on or before Feb. 5, such as Florida. This week he said he was making a push to assert his campaign in the traditional leadoff states of Iowa and New Hampshire.
The Iowa caucuses are scheduled for Jan. 14. But South Carolina Republicans' plan to move that state's primary from Jan. 29 to Jan. 19 prompted speculation that traditional leadoff primary state New Hampshire could leapfrog to mid-January, forcing Iowa to move earlier.
Giuliani, the leader in national polls of Republican preference, has slipped from the early leader in Iowa surveys to second place behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Romney won the straw poll with roughly 32 percent of the more than 14,000 votes cast after busing thousands of supporters to Ames. Giuliani received 183 votes to finish in a distant eighth place, an outcome he said he expected.
"What it says to me is the people who paid the money and paid for the people coming there or did the emphasis on getting people there or were there did a lot better," said Giuliani, who was campaigning in New Hampshire. "I didn't expect to do any better than that."
Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, who has risen to second place in recent national GOP polls, came in seventh in Ames with 203 votes. Thompson, who has risen in recent polls of Republican caucusgoers in Iowa, has not announced his candidacy, but plans to visit Iowa Friday.
