[George W. Bush]

I will never vote for Giuliani. EVER!

Neither will I. But there's no denying how polished his answers and appearance were tonight. McCain had a few good moments but mostly wasn't connecting that well. And Romney was off his game.

What we saw tonight is that Rudi's handlers are already shifting to general election mode, following Hitlery's lead. It's a tactic to diminish all the other candidates.

It's shaping up as a very polished campaign machine.

One comfort: as soon as they start interviewing him or he gives a speech, he doesn't do as well. But Rudi has the debate thing down cold.

All Rudy has to do now is keep his supporters from finding out his extreme liberal history and current views and he's got the nomination. He just has to continue his polished look, tell a few Hillary jokes, and cross his fingers that his supporters aren't going to dig much deeper in the past than 9/11.
