This is why, even though the prolifically posting Rudy-bots here are probably not treasonous liberals, they probably are the unsuspecting tools of treasonous liberals. (Or at least tools of gun grabbing, open border, socially liberal abortionists.)
The left is going to be nothing but nice about Rudy, until well after the primaries, because they know exactly how to defeat him. Besides that, even if he manages to win, they'll consider it a win for the left. (And it will be.)
You are thinking exactly the way I see it. The left has a win formula for Giuliani and if the Republican Pary does not get savy, they will be like sheep to the slaughter in 2008.
