If he doesn't run, he doesn't run. It will be the Nation's loss.

I expect if he doesn't run, there will be more disappointment here then even you currently imagine.

Particularly on a January day in 2009, when a Democrat is sworn...and later.

The Republican establishment is never going to let a traitor like Giuliani (see Liz's comment in Post #175) secure the nomination. Rudy's career in GOP politics -- at least from the standpoint of a major elected office -- basically ended in 1994 when he endorsed Democrat Mario Cuomo in the New York governor's race. That idiotic stunt spoke volumes of his disloyalty as well as his poor political instincts (Cuomo lost).

Rudy Giuliani is going to be the Colin Powell of the 2008 election . . . the closet Democrat who gets paraded around on the campaign trail and at the convention to secure support from some constituent group or another.
