Sorry, no raving here. And of course I don’t know what Giuliani will talk about in his keynote; I’m only taking a wild guess. But why do you suppose the GOP selected him, and what do you suppose he’d want to talk about? Sure he’ll talk about McCain, but the keynote always has larger themes, for the party more so than the candidate. And what theme is Giuliani most equipped to talk about?

But any way you look at it, it’s a bizarre and bone-headed choice for the GOP. This is a man without a constituency in the party. His presidential campaign didn’t just fail, it went down in flames. He’s either reviled or ignored, both within and outside the GOP. What can Giuliani possibly add to their prospects? OK, maybe have him speak at some point, not prime time. But the keynote?
