There is nothing there of any note to destroy. whining won't make him a serious candidate, and neither will hyperbolic fluff threads like this one. His highest (and only elected) office has been mayor. His military credentials are lacking for this time of war we are now in. He is pretty much a non - issue.
The people with the resume to be creditable in prosecuting the war are not harmed by not throwing their hat into the ring this early, and they know it. Do not cry foul! no fair! or anything else when the 2008 Republican nominee is some one who never showed up on the scene until mid 2007. They have no need to step in now. Money isn't as much the name of the game in a war-time candidacy.
Very weak post if I do say do.
Read a little history - how many of our great leaders were mayors or even of lesser titles.
Very weak effort.
Leadership is crucial and being a tremendously successful mayor of NYC is more difficult than being governors of most states.
Vice President Cheney has no military experience and who would oppose him as a candidate? Gore had military experience as does Murtha and who in their right mind cares?
All I have said all along is that the conventional objections do not carry much weight for Guiliani because he is unique. My preferred candidates: Cheney, Rumsfeld don't have a chance and my earlier favorite Senator Allen has a bad case of foot in mouth disease.
There will be no "suprise" nominee. McCain and Guiliani are the clear front runners and, without death, serious illness or withdrawal, will be the ones to beat.
