He'd make a fine VP for Hillary Clinton. He doesn't scare me, but he repels me. He'd make a fine VP for Hillary Clinton.

Giuliani is thin-skinned, amoral, authoritarian and vindictive. Recent accounts, where he ruined the life of some New Yorker who had the temerity to complain about a red light sting that Giuliani instituted as mayor is a case in point. The mayor had the guy arrested on a 13 year old warrant, and his arrest record was revealed to the press. The guy had a nervous breakdown and his complaint ended up costing him $290,000. <br>Plus, those in his administration were dismissed for making bad jokes (showing disloyalty) about him.<br>Of all the candidates on either side, he scares me the most.

Of all the candidates on either side, he scares me the most.

To me, this is the first real race for the GOP because it's closed primary and spoiler conservative Fred Thompson is out. So there are really three options for the GOP going forward: Romney who insists he's a movement conservative, McCain who angers the GOP base but appeals to moderates, and Hucakbee, the favorite among evangelicals. Get Freddy and Rudy out of the way in a closed primary and let's see if McCain is still really the frontrunner.<br><br>Here's the poll:<br><a href="http://politicalwire.com/archives/2008/01/23/ppp_poll_romney_takes_florida_lead_after_thompson_exit.html">http://politicalwire.com/archives/2008/01/23/pp...</a> The first post-Thompson pullout poll now has Romney up over McCain, with immigration is the big driver.

I can't quite put my finger on it. There's just something shifty and untrustworthy about him. McCain, Romney and Huckabee on the other hand are all very engaging.

And, unfortunately for Rudy, the war in Iraq has quieted down and the economy has become the number one issue by far. Poor Rudy.
