Unfortunately Giuliani wants to run for President. He does not stand a chance of going past the Republican primary.

You are absolutely correct. Thus far, we have no strong candidate. Running against a woman is going to proove very difficult. Just ask Rick Lazio. The media will make mince meat out of any male who dares to stand up to her. They will lable him a bully, etc., etc., etc. I know I will get flamed for this statement, but I would still rather see Rudy instead of Hillary.

"Just ask Rick Lazio."

Rick Lazio was a serious disappointment. And I even sent him some money. But I'm afraid lack of any serious Republican candidates for 2006 will mean it's Hillary in 2008 and THAT means .... wow, I'm just gonna HATE living in Singapore as an expat for 4 or 8 years!

"Top Aide Says Giuliani Can't Run for Senate or Gov in 2006

(Albany, N.Y. -AP, April 4, 2005) — Republican Rudolph Giuliani's top political aide said Monday it is not possible for the former New York City mayor to run for governor of New York or challenge U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's re-election bid next year.

But, Anthony Carbonetti cautioned: "Rudy is someone who never says never." "Right now, with all the commitments he has here in maintaining the success of Giuliani Partners and now growing a law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, I just see the commitment as too great to undertake any sort of run within the next year," Carbonetti told The Associated Press. "It's not possible."

The choice so far is: Hillary or Rudy. Go Rudy!

You are absolutely correct. Thus far, we have no strong candidate. Running against a woman is going to proove very difficult. Just ask Rick Lazio. The media will make mince meat out of any male who dares to stand up to her.

My suggestion would be to run Jeanine Pirro or Peter King. Pirro because she is a woman, has a reputation as tough on crime and fiscally conservative but also pro-choice and has a base in Westchester county. King because he has a base in Nassau county and can potentially light up the Catholic suburbs of Brooklyn and Queens (the only problem he'd have is his closeness to Gerry Adams, especially after the McCartney issue.)

I wouldn't expect either of them to win but they can beat up Hillary bad enough to leave pools of blood on the floor for her run for the White House. At that point she'd be a rotting carcass and could probably not survive the primaries (or she'd stay in the Senate.) Pirro or King could get 47-48% of the vote, which would hurt Hillary.
