Rudy had three things going against him in the last election 1) He's the former mayor of NY, and all the problems with social issues that goes along with it. 2) He didn't have any message beyond 9/11 and 3) Too many wives and girlfriends and way too many girlfriends while he had a wife.

Beyond that, he was probably the best campaigner the GOP has fielded in a generation. And, he handles a hostile media better than anyone I've ever seen. It's too bad.

You forget that Rudy is a liberal when it comes to social issues. Plus he is an amnesty pusher.

Yea, it really is too bad he was wrong on 2/3rds of the conservative GOP message, but besides that, he was great!

I guess you have to ask yourselves, would you rather have Guiliani in the White House or Obama?

At the end, it sounds like Rudy is lobbying for himself for a spot at Treasury.

The fact that he a hard-core social liberal might have had something to do with it.

In NY, that was probably the best they could get, instead we got mcCain...uummm nevermind.

Death by poisoning or death by decapitation isn’t really a choice.

Rudy would have been way better than McCain in my opinion

Absolutely. Plus, if it would have been Rudy getting interviewed by Gibson or Couric, he would have torn their hearts out and fed it to them, slowly.

I don't agree with the Rudster on almost any domestic social issue. But, I believe him when he says that he would have picked judges like Scalia or Roberts. And, his domestic policies would have been light-years better than Barry's.

I don't know if Rudy could have won, but I believe it would have been much, much closer. He wouldn't have taken public funds, so he wouldn't have been outspent 4 to 1, and who knows what kind of difference that would have made. I think he could have made PA, NY, OH and NJ competitive enough that Barry wouldn't have been able to abandon them and focus solely on the battleground states.

And, running a city with a budget bigger than most countries, he could have talked more about the economy, but for some reason he didn't - although it wasn't a big problem when he dropped out of the race.

The honest answer is neither.

At least the primaries worked in weeding out the loser Rudy.

Too bad we let Democrats and Independents help choose the loser McCain.
