If the Republicans nominate Giuliani, they get to define the principle issue in the 2008 election. Being able to define an election's issue is a huge boost to any political campaign.
If Giuliani is the candidate, then the principle issue in the 2008 election is the War on Terror.
If the principle issue in the 2008 election is the War on Terror, the Republicans win, and win big.
QED.
