1. Before Rudy Giuliani attends a town hall meeting into the delegate-rich state of Delaware Thursday, he'll partake in a bit of fundraising. He's hosting a two-tiered event at the University of Delaware's Goodstay Center in Wilmington. For $1,000, you can watch Rudy dine on eggs and bacon and get a VIP pic and attend a private meet and greet. For $250, you get breakfast. If you're under 35, you need to pay only $150. The event is hosted by Newcastle Co. GOP chair Tom Ross. Ohboyohboyohboy look at this list of Giuliani bundlers. Some Pioneers and Rangers, but lots of new money. That's a good thing for Rudy.

2. Sen. Hillary Clinton will receive what her campaign is billing a "major" national endorsement tomorrow. It's Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), per the AP. Clinton also gets a big Nevada endorsement tomorrow.

3. Straw poll update:

Next week, The Campaign for America's Future's Take Back America conference features Clinton, Edwards, Obama, Richardson and other presidentials ... and a straw poll conducted by The Politico.

4. Straw poll update:

NFRA Grassroots Presidential Endorsement Convention Committee is excited to announce that we will be welcoming former House Majority Leader Tom Delay to St. Louis this August. Tom Delay will be the keynote speaker of the Ronald Reagan Awards Banquet, which will take place on Saturday, August 4.


They're doing a straw poll, too. The Nat'l Federation of Republican Assemblies calls itself the Republican Wing of The Republican party. Copyright.

5. Gov. Mike Huckabee gives fashion advice:


Q: I read that you're against miniskirts.

A: If a person dresses provocatively, they're calling attention -- maybe not the most desirable kind -- to private parts of their body.

Q: What about a burka?

A: No, that hides everything. I think a person's hair, arms, shoulders, legs are an appropriate display of who they are. I want people to be attracted to me because they find me interesting, not because I'm wearing something ... well, I doubt I own anything provocative.

Q: How about a minskirt?

A: A thong.
