Apparently Rudy G is outpacing McCain in polls as a viable candidate. Although I still consider Giuliani to be an unreconstructed neofascist, he does have charisma, and it's nice to see McCain's entirely undeserved maverick status beginning to cost him. His presidential moment was in 2000, and he blew it, or it was stolen from him. He's a relic of the pre-Bush age, and I think after he's smoked in the primary race, that'll be it for him. It'll be interesting to see how the GOP primary race plays out. Will the fundamentalists like Giuliani's stuff? Will he flame out by bullying somebody on the campaign trail? Could he stand toe-to-toe with Hillary Clinton?
I think his smirking self could probably handle Obama in a debate -- it would be interesting, because they're both smart and charismatic. Against Clinton, Giuliani would definitely come across as more charismatic, although with Iraq hanging around the GOP's neck, maybe no GOP candidate will have a good chance.
Interesting thing in the above article is how little support stupid Gingrich and Romney have -- they're deluding themselves.
