Guiliani has issues with his politics BEFORE he ever gets near his character issues. Also, since he's essentially a Democrat in an elephant suit, character doesn't matter.

Newt, without his character issues, would be a winner. But a guy who has divorce papers delivered to wife in the hospital is a louse, no matter how smart he is or how good his politics.

I agree. That was pathetic. Even more pathetic than Rudy's announcing his intention to divorce in a 'press conference' before telling his wife (pretty pathetic there too).

"Newt, without his character issues, would be a winner. But a guy who has divorce papers delivered to wife in the hospital is a louse, no matter how smart he is or how good his politics."

Which is irrelevant to whether he would or would not make a good president. I just don't think that after Clinton, that kind of "louse" behavior has much in the way of "legs" with the average voter.

Agreed. And also politically tone-deaf.

Which Reagan wasn't. Remember when Reagan Mocked the Rocking Chair?
