Guiliani's gamble:
by Madai

Social conservatives may not be able to get excited about Rudy, but they will get excited about keeping anyone with the last name "Clinton" out of the white house.

Right now, Guiliani has to just lock up the republican primary. This is probably going to be easy. Republicans are inclined to vote the president who will be attacked by the democrats the least. They are sick of being the party of "Bush, the Idiot Cowboy". The creepy mormon, the manchurian candidate, and the lazy actor just don't measure up to the mayor who cut crime and kept new york together after 9/11. Cheap shots about his divorces will backfire, especially if he's running against Madame Cuckhold.

Of course, if Obama is nominated, Guiliani is going to have to bust his ass and work hard to mobilize the base. Not enough people hate Obama, and anyone who looks like he hates Obama will be called racist.

Manchurian Candidate, who is that, McCain? Was he brainwashed in Viet Nam or by his mother?

Anyway, Hillary got a lot of sympathy from how she dealt with her husband's sleaziness. Somehow you are now claiming that is a liability? Who sympathized with Giuliani when his wife learned about their breakup from TV, or when he tried to kick his wife out of the mayor's mansion and move his mistress in? Hillary was trouncing Rudy in New York when he quit, midstream.

A lot of people hate the Clintons but a lot of people loved them. He was elected twice. Are you counting on leftover Ross Perot voters to put Giuliani in office?

First off, a woman can't be a cuckold. She can only "cuckold" (verb) her husband. But we all know it wasn't Hillary who was cheating... Secondly, according to most of the polls I've seen, both Hillary AND Obama beat Guiliani if the '08 vote were held today. So yeah, I do hope the GOP nominates ol' Rudy.
