I'm a man and I've walked into Curves before to successfully sell a product. I did it knowing it was Curves. I even admire the founder of Curves for moral reasons since she is staunchly pro-life as am I.

Guiliani is campaigning. If he DID walk into a gym and say, "Hey ladies, I'll let you finish your workout, but I'm Rudy Guiliani and I'm running for president. If I can count on your vote, I'd surely appreciate it," I would say THAT is news. Positive news and entirely appropriate.

This is much ado about nothing.

Women exercising at Curves are fully clothed. The exercise is low impact.

However, should a woman feel the need to change in and out sweats, as when coming from going to a job outside the home, she would do so in a closed-off back area far, from the establishment's entrance.

Besides a club for only women? That is not very politically correct. So is Rudy suppose to know everything of every place? get real

Wow, this is news! He walked into an establishment where women exercise. I exercise in an establishment where both men AND women exercise. It's not like he tried to go into the locker room. And it's not like men are forbidden to walk in there. I'd be more surprised if Hillary R. Clinton walked in there; it would mean she was mingling with humans. That would be a shock.

This is typicl trash journalism and I dont like seeing any political persuasion trashed in this way. The idiots in the press have less and less credibility as the days go by.

This would have been a great photo-op for Rudy to trot around to "the base": Rudy on a treadmill swappin' anti-choice chitchat with the ladies.

Andrew: When pols go "door to door" they DO NOT check the name of the business. Anyone who thinks they do, has zero background in politics. They are just looking for hands to shake, and don't give a hoot about the nature of the business.

In the USA, businesses are OPEN TO ALL WHO WISH TO ENTER. Do you honestly believe that MALE salespersons are "not allowed" into Curves? Do you honestly believe that MALE repairmen are "not allowed" to enter Curves? Do you honestly believe that MALE CITY INSPECTORS are "not allowed" to enter Curves? What about HUSBANDS WHO ARE CAREGIVERS FOR THEIR HANDICAPPED WIVES? ARE THEY ALSO NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER CURVES? (I suggest that YOU sign up for a sensitivity course, since your world is so narrow.)

Many businesses cannot be identified unless you back up and stretch your neck; not a good pose for anyone. WHEN YOUR PRECIOUS HILLARY GOES DOOR TO DOOR, SHE DOES DOES NOT MOVE TOWARD THE GUTTER AND THEN CROOK HER NECK TO EXAMINE THE NAME OF A BUSINESS BEFORE GOING IN! This is not a story. In fact, the flags falling on Hillary was a bigger story, and just as stupid.

Woman-only gyms. In Germany, they got woman-only banks, too. In Japan, woman-only subway cars. In Britain, woman-only hotel floors. We got "ladies' nights" in bars where free drinks or heavy discounts are offered only to "the ladies", woman-only job fairs, and God knows what else. The only place we as a society do not allow women to go is into the middle of combat zones. Note there are no National Mall protests by NOW trying to change that.

So if a blacks-only space, or "whites' night" at a bar would be wrong, why are all these "woman-only" places OK? Answer: they're not.

Think of this: if Rudy were not running for president but instead the current president, technically speakin g he could not go into a Curves gym without prior permission from the manager or owner. Sort of reminds me of how in S. Africa a black person could have been a local elected representative but was not allowed to use the same bathrooms as the most despicable of any white person who happened to be passing through his district during the apartheid. years.

Segregation is wrong-- sex segregation, race segregation, etc. It is just wrong.

Dillon, Concord, NH — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 05:22:43 GMT

Dick Morris, former adviser to President Clinton and now mortal enemy of Hillary Clinton, loves to make predictions about election outcomes. Over the course of the year I have been following his columns concerning the Republican primary because his opinions are usually so conclusive and certain you would think he had successfully discovered time travel. To prove he hasn’t made such a discovery, I pieced together a few of his predictions over the year to demonstrate how wrong this guy who thinks he’s always right is.

“Romney, who is panting after their (conservatives) support, is a political duck decoy, distracting onlookers from focusing their gaze on the real conservatives who might run. He can't win. He can't get nominated or even become the consensus candidate of the right wing. He's too Mormon (it shouldn't be an issue, but it is) and flip-flop-flipped from pro-life to pro-choice and back again. These problems, combined with his flip-flops on gay rights and stem cell research, make him incapable of becoming the right-wing candidate to oppose Giuliani.” – March 15, 2007

And today…

“Even as he continues to hold a convincing lead in the national race, Rudy Giuliani may be riding for a big fall in Iowa and the other early state primaries. Mitt Romney, despite his anemic national showing, could sweep Iowa, New Hampshire and Michigan, a trifecta that could give him such momentum as to sweep him to the nomination.

The numbers are scary for Giuliani (and since Mitt doesn't have a prayer in hell of beating Hillary in a general election, scary for us all). While he holds a lead in the national polls (Giuliani 30, Thompson 17, McCain 15, Romney 12, Huckabee 9 -- all data is from the average of the past five polls posted on www.realclearpolitics.com), he is trailing badly in all the early states.

…But if Romney wins in Iowa, he will certainly win in New Hampshire -- where he already leads -- and in Michigan, where his father was governor and he has been working hard. Coming into Florida with that kind of momentum will make it very hard for Giuliani to come back.” -November 14, 2007 – The Hill

What is so humorous about this transition from Dick saying Romney doesn’t have a chance against Giuliani to him being in position to win, is that now Dick is certain ( I’m assuming that is what he meant by saying “Mitt doesn't have a prayer in hell”) Romney can’t win the general election against Hillary. Maybe Dick would be better served betting on the impossible.

Dick assumes Giuliani should win against Romney as long as he runs a traditional aggressive advertising campaign much the same way Romney is. This just isn’t he case. Giuliani himself is his campaign’s liability, not his campaign strategy. Dick said:

“Rudy has brought this crisis on himself by foolishly running no television ads in any of the early primary or caucus states while Romney has advertised for six to eight months. In a classic hare-versus-tortoise scenario, Giuliani waited so long to show his colors on television that Romney may have built up an insurmountable lead in the interim.”

Dick mistakenly assumes that it is in Giuliani’s best interest for the public to learn more about him. This just isn’t the case. Everybody already knows who Giuliani is. People know him as the New York mayor who made some good stump speeches following 9/11. What they generally don't know is that he's been divorced multiple times, lived with two gay friends, and fought for political funding for abortions.

Now everyone is starting to find out about his corrupt bedfellows such as the recently indicted Bernard Kerik, who Giuliani recommended to the Bush administration to lead the Department of Homeland Security. If Giuliani runs too many adds, or attracts too much attention to himself through other means, the negative issues will spread in the news like chickenpox in a preschool. Unfortunately for him, it looks like it is already happening.

Conversely, the Romney campaign has demonstrated a powerful correlation between advertising and an increase in support. His ads have been extremely successful in the early primary states, and there’s no evidence to suggest this won’t work throughout the rest of the country. While some believe the “Mormon” issue is the 5-ton elephant in the room, it hasn’t been impossible to overcome thus far, especially as evidenced by Romney’s drastically improved numbers in South Carolina. It will be interesting to see how this issue plays out as the campaign spreads west.

One thing is clear – Romney benefits by putting himself in the public spotlight whereas Rudy does not. There has been some dispute among Romney’s campaign advisers concerning whether they should start showing negative ads about Giuliani because the mud might come back their way. For now, with the Kerik and Regan/News Corp. headlines, Romney has no need to get his own hands muddy.
