Wow... if he wins the Presidency it'll be back to good ol' Nixon times with enemy lists and the like. For a man in a glass house he sure has thrown a lot of stones.

Giuliani has too many skeletons. It'll be McCain.

Has he even won any primaries? I don't see him even being nominated much less elected.

At least that's my hope.

He was banking everything on Florida.. now he's 'fuming' because everyone in FL has endorsed McCain. It's quite funny actually. They showed Guiliani at a speech stop on the news last night I think it was, and when they did a quick pan of the camera over the "crowd" the place was nearly empty. Supposedly when his plane was about to land there were like 4 people/supporters waiting for him or something.

He'd do much better if someone would take out the Empire State Building although that building is built old school so it would be hard to use controlled demolitions on it.

Didn't he just get stomped in Florida? Early figures had McCain winning with Romney close in second.

Why, as a New York-based paper, are we not backing Rudolph Giuliani? Why not choose the man we endorsed for re-election in 1997 after a first term in which he showed that a dirty, dangerous, supposedly ungovernable city could become clean, safe and orderly? What about the man who stood fast on Sept. 11, when others, including President Bush, went AWOL?

That man is not running for president.

The real Mr. Giuliani, whom many New Yorkers came to know and mistrust, is a narrow, obsessively secretive, vindictive man who saw no need to limit police power. Racial polarization was as much a legacy of his tenure as the rebirth of Times Square.

Mr. Giuliani's arrogance and bad judgment are breathtaking. When he claims fiscal prudence, we remember how he ran through surpluses without a thought to the inevitable downturn and bequeathed huge deficits to his successor. He fired Police Commissioner William Bratton, the architect of the drop in crime, because he couldn't share the limelight. He later gave the job to Bernard Kerik, who has now been indicted on fraud and corruption charges.

The Rudolph Giuliani of 2008 first shamelessly turned the horror of 9/11 into a lucrative business, with a secret client list, then exploited his city's and the country's nightmare to promote his presidential campaign.

Ouch.

Giuliani is a racist piece of shit. He will never get elected, and I couldn't be happier about it.
