You're nothing if not "interesting" Corin :~)

As for the rant... Maybe the redneck types get all oogie about the cross dressing photos, but I see them for what they are... funny skits and appearances... Even though Giuliani doesn't have acres of cedar to clear to prove his manhood, I don't see him as "effete" in any way... He's a city guy, if he tried to get on a horse or go grab a chainsaw he'd look as ridiculous as Dukakis on a tank, or Kerry with a shotgun.

He'll be fine and hold the respect of most Americans if he just remains true to who he is, without apology, without trying to remake himself into a 'manly man' to put the guys in wifebeaters at ease. That is, unless he could do it and be really really funny :~) I'm seeing some pretty good skit material for Saturday Night Live. ;~)

I appreciate a candidate that can laugh at himself. You're right, Giuliani did the costumes for fund raisers. But it won't play well with the folks who think The Dukes of Hazard is based on classic literature.

As much as I don't like McCain, I think one of the funniest things I've ever seen is "McCain sings Streisand." (the video is out there on YouTube)

That means he'll appeal to somewhere near half of the country.

Too bad he's running for REPUBLICAN president, since the "half" he will appeal to are largely in the LIBERAL BLUE STATES.
