ALBANY, NY (01/21/2008)(readMedia)-- In the words of New York Yankee legend, Yogi Berra, "It ain't over 'til it's over."

The 2008 Republican presidential primary process has already taken more twists and turns than an Agatha Christie novel with different candidates vaulting to a lead in the polls after a strong primary showing one week only to see their support evaporate as they move on down the primary trail.

Hold on to your seats for another roller coaster ride as the Republican primaries enter what will be another exciting, and perhaps, climactic chapter.

With its strong mix of transplanted New Yorkers, economic conservatives impressed by Rudy Giuliani’s bona fide tax cutting credentials, and national security conscious Republicans who were inspired by the Mayor’s heroic leadership in the wake of the World Trade Center attacks, Florida, when all the votes are counted, is going to prove it is Rudy Giuliani country.

Fueled by the momentum of a victory in Florida, I am confident that Mayor Giuliani will be firmly atop the only New York primary poll that really counts, the one that tens of thousands of New York Republicans will participate in with their votes on Primary Day, February 5th.

Rudy Giuliani is the tested leader our nation needs. Just as he united New York City in the aftermath of the darkest day in its history, he will unite our party and lead it to victory in the fall.
