DAYAHEAD: Elsewhere on the 2008 campaign trail ...
  • Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani holds a fundraiser for his PAC, Solutions America, tonight at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York City, after giving a policy speech on energy today at the Manhattan Institute. RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman will attend the event, which is geared towards "helping electeds and those who want to be elected for '06," according to a Giuliani spokesperson, who says that they expect "about 100" people to attend, and they expect to raise "half [a million dollars]." Other VIPS expected to attend are: Rep. Dave Reichert, Rep. Ralph Norman, Rep. John Sweeney, and Rep. Sue Kelley, and Illinois congressional candidate David McSweeney, Iowa congressional candidate Jeff Lamberti, and Minnesota congressional candidate Michele Bachman.

  • After the Giuliani PAC event tonight, RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman will appear on "The Daily Show."

  • Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator John Kerry, and Governor Tom Vilsack speak at the Campaign for America's Future "Take Back America" conference this morning, beginning at 8:15 am. According to a preview of the speech obtained by the Grind, Mr. Kerry will say, "The time has also come for a Congress that shares responsibility for getting us into Iraq to take responsibility for helping to get us out. Sure, we were misled. But we know it now -- and we know the truth. So we must demand a change in policy, a change in course. This week on the floor of the Senate I will fight for an up or down vote on my amendment to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq. Our soldiers have done their job. It is time for Iraqis to do their job -- it's time for Iraqis to stand up for Iraq. It's time for Iraqis to want democracy for themselves as much as we want it for them."

  • The National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association (NFPRHA) will present its Outstanding Public Service Award to U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for her efforts to promote reproductive health issues as First Lady and a U.S. Senator, at a Congressional Luncheon at 12 p.m. at the Sewall-Belmont House, 144 Constitution Avenue, NE, Washington, DC.

  • Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack delivered "Foreign Policy: A Governor's Perspective" at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, DC, at 8:30 a.m.
