I think Guiliani is a good Veep choice against a Kerry/? ticket because Guiliani appeals to swing voters MUCH more than Cheney. Cheney is perceived by many as sneaky and inaccessable. And besides, even though Guiliani is not as conservative as we'd like, how much damage could he do as a Veep?

The logic would hold up about as well if you'd substitute the name "Hillary" for "Giuliani".

It's hard to believe that President Bush will get his base all fired up to campaign for him if he picks a New York gun-grabbing, pro-abortion guy as his apparent successor.

Well as I see it, the President has not done much lately to want to make his base turn out in record numbers with his stances on Immigration, Medicare and other costly programs. So why not look more appealing to the center "swing" voter? Throw them some meat in the form of Guiliani and I beleive it could work.

Don't get me wrong - I am not happy with Guiliani and his stance on guns and abortion, but I do know he appeals across party lines. I also have trouble conjuring up any idea of what Cheney has done to please the base that Guiliani wouldn't do himself.

Guiliani can be a draw to those to the right of center and in the center itself, and make up for the fact that President Bush has been spending like a drunken sailor. Also, he's perceived as tough on terrorism, and he is the only possible key (as I see it) to turning NY State RED on November 7. I'll do anything to defeat a Kerry presidency.
