Its probably for the best. I'm sure it will come out in time for the primaries. :)

I particularly enjoyed the part where they described how they would go to any lengths to distance themselves from the Reagan Republicans.

"The Giuliani campaign should emphasize its candidate's independence from traditional national Republican policies. Especially useful in this strategy is Giuliani's role in overturning a Reagan administration attempt to throw disabled people off of Social Security rolls, his prosecution of Republican elected officials -- especially his authorization for calling his boss, Attorney General Edwin Meese III, a sleaze, and his un-Republican views on many social issues of concern to New Yorkers, like abortion, gun control and bias protection for homosexuals."

When you read these strategies, isn't it kinda creepy. You see the same MO here everyday, except they have flipflopped in the other direction.

My father, who in 2000 was somewhat jacked into Texas politics, told me that the Bush camp hired private detectives to see what dirt they could find on Bush and report back.

And I can see why that is smart politics. If your private D can find it, so can opposition researchers.

But it also would be a nice change for a guy to say, "here's my past, here is what some say is my dirt, it's on the table, judge for yourself."

Oops, that's what Hunter did after the House bank scandal. And he also is the only Congresscritter to make public his earmarks for public inspection.

I wish more pubbies would do that. No one is perfect. But the better ones show their warts instead of covering them up.
