"Dear RichardW,
"He's just playing it close to the vest."
I understand playing close to the vest, but NOT DECLARING YOUR PARTY?
I think that's a step or two too far. It certainly reinforces my own negative view of Mr. Giuliani.

He's under no obligation to offer up any advantage to any of his competitors. He's doing the smart thing. As I said somewhere, let the others pound each other and then he can come riding to the rescue without all of the mud that he would otherwise have.
Dear RichardW,
"He's under no obligation to offer up any advantage to any of his competitors."
I can't see how it would offer any advantage to his competitors for him to note that he will run as a Republican, if he runs.
"He's doing the smart thing."
To me, he's only encouraging Republicans to doubt his commitment to the party and its values. It seems to me to be a very stupid thing to do.
"As I said somewhere, let the others pound each other and then he can come riding to the rescue without all of the mud that he would otherwise have."
What are you suggesting, that he sit out the primaries?
He's not going to get the nomination by coronation. He'll have to fight for it.
I doubt he'll get the nomination, anyway. He can't hold the Republican coalition together.
