steered far too many of the important questions to anybody not named Rudy
They were doing Giuliani a favor.

I agree with this.. Rudy was sand banged.. even Mark Levin agrees (as stated today). All they did was hit him on abortion, over and over... there is more to a person then the stance on abortion.. it gets tiresome after a while. The man is pro-choice. Ok... we understand that... I disagree with it.. .NEXT

What good will it do conservative Americans if the choice is between Hillary & Rudy? I actually think Rudy is the more dangerous of the two! Listen: If Rudy is elected to the White House, his proposals for gun confiscation, abortion funding, homosexual marriage and the like will be received as coming from a “conservative republican” rather than a liberal dem and will have a better chance of passing.

“Giuliani torpedoed Giuliani. ... ie, he now claims that a strict constructionist could take either side, for or against Roe vs Wade. So much for his promise of strict constructionists in the mold of Roberts or Alito. His idea of strict constructionism means diddly squat.”
I agree. His answer on Roe should end any pretense that Guliani will be a reliable friend on constructionist judges. I believe in that 30 seconds he torpedoed his own path to the White House. The very fact that we saw a number of more acceptable alternatives on stage who didn’t flub anything (Hunter, Romney, Huckabee, Brownback) made Guliani less a frontrunner and more a novelty item. (”Oh wow, America’s mayor as candidate.”)

Neither McCain or Giuliani seized the opportunity. McCain tried, but smiled at the wrong time and just seemed off balance. Rudy looked like a schoolboy that neglected his studies and so was on the spot. It’s up to these guys to grab the face time they are given and sell themselves to the voters. McCain and Giuliani didn’t do that.

I like Fred but his slow talking would not HAVE BEEN GOOD LAST NIGHT.<<< Give Fred a bit of credit for being smart enough to stay out of a "dog fight" disguised as a debate staged by the minions of the Democrat party.
The RNC should be disbanded and then rebuilt with totally new staff for allowing such a farce, staged by the most fervently leftist journalist on TV, be sold as a "debate" between Republicans. This was an attempt at "assasination" on TV.
Fortunately, my guy is Fred. He wasn't there. He didn't get singed one little bit.

Morris is just distracted by this whole “DC Madam” thing.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
In doing so, they paid homage to their Democratic Party masters by diminishing the candidate most likely to win in November.
I've yet to have someone give a logical explanation as to why a candidate who 50% of Republicans won't vote for is the most likely to win in November. At any rate, after last night, Ghouliani's run is over. Now to sort through Romney's support of the gay agenda.

Perhaps it was the 30-60 second time frame they had? give me a break.. 10 people in 90 mins and we are judging how good they did? Ill wait a few months will those bottom 7 drop out and stop taking up talking time to those that can actually get elected.

MSNBC and Politico deliberately marginalized Giuliani and steered far too many of the important questions to anybody not named Rudy. What a misrepresentation! Giuliani got more face time than any of the others, and he botched most of the questions, even the softballs. Important questions? Giuliani should be thankful he wasn't asked about his stance on gun control! Or the constitution for that matter (oops... he was, and he botched that one too).
Is Morris working for the Giuliani campaign now?

If Rooty were given more time he could have made an even bigger jackass of himself.

“”Morris is struggling to remain relevant.””
I agree although he is usually one of the more “interesting” talking heads on Fox. I never tire of hearing him drop bombs on the Klintons. However, his performance tonight was pretty bad and it left me looking for a tinfoil hat.
Morris is pure politics with no moral compass (just like his former masters).

I like Fred but his slow talking would not HAVE BEEN GOOD LAST NIGHT.I disagree. One must be slow talking in order for the liberals to try and get a grasp as to what was said. Really, it would be beneficial to speak reeeeeeaaaaalllll slow.

Morris is brilliant. I have learned plenty from him about the underbelly of politics over the years.
To: Suzy Quzy
I watched Fred’s speech/discussion tonight on CSPAN (to the Lincoln Club in Org Cty, Ca) and he is NOT a slow talker. And yes, the man does smile ...and he can tell a joke, too! While I didn’t like a few things he said, the man is oozing charisma in a real down-to-earth manner (with none of the oil that drips off Romney) and definitely can command an audience.
In making my ultimate choice, it will come down to the issues. But of all the candidates, Fred is the only one in contention for the “Reaganesque” label, IMO.

Giuliani's zeal to highlight his bipartisan bona fides and eagerness to work with Democrats (and even invite them into his fold) was a killer. He forgot that he is currently running in a
Republican primary. He really shot himself in the foot, BIG time. Wow, what a gaff.
I think the Rudy slide has begun.
To: calcowgirl
I'm liking him more too. I just hope he's got enough fire in the belly... enought persistence and determination to see it all the way through... That's my only remaining concern. Celebrities tend to "give out" whenever it appears the love has gone out of the relationship.
He and Duncan would make quite a team from the looks of it, now. They both aren't peaking prematurely and that's ideal!!!
