The personal skeletons that can kill Rudy in the heartland and South naturally didn't resonate in NYC.
Also, the NYC media hating Rudy in favor of Dinkins is much different than the national press doing likewise in favor of Hillary.
A 20 year old DUI almost derailed GWB in 2000. It's a safe bet that Rudy has far, far worse skeletons in his closet.

Dear WhistlingPastTheGraveyard,
"It's a safe bet that Rudy has far, far worse skeletons in his closet."
Mr. Giuliani has led a pretty public life. What skeletons remain hidden in his closet may not approach the level of the skeletons about which everyone already knows.
I'm not sure that the personal stuff will ding him as much as some anti-Giuliani folks think, although I think that it will have perhaps a bit more of an effect than the rudybots think.

Obviously, lol, the MSM will bring out the bones of all Republican candidates.
My point being, who can take it? Who cannot? Who can fight back? Who cannot?
And since my one and only giant soapbox for over a decade has been the MSM, (I'm in the minority and believe that they are our greatest enemy, and have run this country for 40 years, and should be completely destroyed), I'm looking forward to seeing which one of these strong candidates can defeat them, or at least who can give them a black-eye or even run a stake thru their commie-vampire hearts.
Which candidate will fold under their smears, and "change" in any way because they ask him too, which one will do their bidding, ect?
Of course McCain has already failed my test, years ago, and I am waiting anxiously to see how Romney and Rudy do on a National level, Hunter has already proved he can fight back, but can he go further? And so has Newt to a lesser extent, since he resigned under MSM pressure, let's see if he has toughened up since then.
