Giuliani Back In N.J. To Raise Money For Others

Rudy Giuliani, the Republican front-runner for the 2008 presidential nomination, was scheduled to be in New Jersey for the second time in less than a week Monday, paying tribute to first-responders and raising money for state legislative candidates.
  
Giuliani's first stop was to be at a diner in Ocean View, where he was expected to chat and nosh with Shore residents.
  
He was then scheduled to appear at a fundraiser for first district Republican candidates, including incumbent Sen. Nick Asselta. Tickets for that event started at $1,000 per person. None of the money raised will go to Giuliani's own campaign, Republican organizers said.
  
The main event of the afternoon was "Tribute to Heroes" in Cape May, where Giuliani was to laud the region's police officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians.
  
Giuliani's afternoon in the Garden State marks the former New York City mayor's second trip here in five days. Giuliani was in Bridgewater on Wednesday stumping for dollars and votes.
  
Giuliani pressed hard for support at that event, saying he is the only GOP candidate who can be competitive in all 50 states, including Democratic-leaning New Jersey.
  
"We're going to have to have a candidate who competes in 50 states, not just in 30 states," Giuliani told more than 100 supporters attending a fundraiser for local Republicans. "There's got to be a campaign in New Jersey next November."
  
Giuliani and fellow New Yorker Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, have enjoyed a kind of homefield advantage in neighboring New Jersey.
  
Both continue to maintain sizable leads. In a recent Quinnipiac University presidential polls here, Giuliani leads his closest competitor, former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, 45 percent to 12 percent. Clinton leads her closest rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, 46 percent to 15 percent.
  
New Jersey's primary is Feb. 5.
