He aimed too high. He blew it. And NY is stuck with Clinton, and Spitzer.
Spitler AND Hillary: both swiftboated on a sea of taco sauce. LOL.

--SNIP--Giuliani is finally suffering from the natural gravitational pull of his messy personal life (as mayor, he financed a security detail for his mistress) and his ideological heterodoxy (especially on social issues).......it has dragged him down to a level where it is no longer an invisible force.
His supporters thought that he'd bump up in the NH polls once he started advertising. But since Nov 10 he's spent more than Romney and McCain, and Giuliani's numbers have, if anything, declined slightly.
Pundits speculated that the WOT was the new social issue, more important to Republicans than abortion or gay marriage.........over the weekend Giuliani went to Florida to try to relaunch his campaign with a speech on his "12 commitments".....
He didn't mention the one about reducing abortions........
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Giuliani is as dense as a brick---he still doesn't get it. Voters will NOT elect an individual who publicly humiliated his wife, who plotted to dump his wife and his kids into the streets, to carry on with a bimbo he met in a cigar bar.
How stupid is this guy? He doesn't fathom the disgust voters have with revelations Rudy used government funds to pork his mistress while paying the the NYPD to stand around and watch him satisfy his sexual urges? The final insult was Mayor Rooty hiding the payouts in obscure city agencies to keep it secret from taxpayers.
Giuliani's memory is undergoing an Extreme Makeover but he's still deaf, dumb and blind. He ran around NYC like a chicken with his head cutoff, grabbing guns, worshipping abortion, indulging himself with mistresses (soaking taxpayers for the expenses), surrounding hmself with crooks and lowlifes like Kerik, assorted child predators, and other losers, kicking out people like Chief Bratton who dared to stand in Rooty's spotlight........and now he expects voters to forget all that.
Sure Ruty had lousy judgement as mayor---but according to him, he is suddenly trustworthy enough to sit at the levers of the federal government. Course Rooty's global businesses stand to profit mightily if he and his handlers ever get their greedy hands on the federal budget.
Let us not forget----that pardon pen of Rooty's would be working overtime. Rooty's itchin' to pardon Kerik b/c Kerik is Tooty's obedient yes-man---his former driver, bodyguard and Police Commissioner (in that order).
Kerik is the guy who okay'ed the seven-man NYPD security detail for Rooty's mistress. Rooty wants Kerik in the Homeland job awful bad looking over FBI files and making decision to profit Rooty's global businesses.
Sorry, Rooty.......get yourself another life.
I don’t think pro-abort, gun dealr suing, wife dumping politicians who use the tax payers’ money to shuttle around his mistress get miracles.
Not even during Christmas.
He may have gotten a miracle (a brief one at least) because of Huckabee’s son.
This date, in 2007, Americans are actually understanding the above paragraph.
A goldmine of voters, Mayor...
(I Really Hate All of the Editorializing in the Titles Around Here Alert)
Rooty’s popularity dwindled when more people realized that there are other candidates who would be equally tough on the WOJ (War on Jihad) as well as have some degree of social conservatism... and the most important being pro-life.
Hopefully after Rooty Toot loses Iowa and New Hampshire he will go away.
Rooty will hopefully fade away as we make further progress in Iraq and the war on terror. People associate him with 911 (he mentions it every other word) and as our focus shifts to a challenging economy we will refocus on other candidates.
Personally I think Romney has what it takes to take on Hillary.
Rooty Toot has NEVER understood that (with the exception of PaulPot) all of the other GOP candidates are behind the WOT and they are also far more socially conservative than him.
Electing Rooty as president because of 9/11 makes about as much sense as making Ray Nagin director of FEMA because of Katrina.
As I’ve said for at least two years, Rudy should have run for governor of NY in 2006. Or, better yet, senator against Hillary last year. He could have taken care of her for us then!
Rudy is maybe the best Republicans can expect in NY State. But he’s just not going to make it nationally in the Republican primaries.
He aimed too high. He blew it.
And NY is stuck with Clinton, and Spitzer.
Will have to check my copy of Dante's Inferno to see what wife-dumpers merit in the Great Beyond. In Dante's Inferno the circle of hell for sins of the flesh is well-populated, placing them along with Judas at the bottom of the inferno. Adulteresses were hung by their breasts; perhaps adulterers were hung by their ******. LOL.
That's the point, Rooty KNOWS he can't beat Hitlery (which is why he backed out in 2000 using cancer as an excuse), yet he still thinks he should be nominated to run against her for president.
Electorally, I would rather be in Rudy’s position than Fred’s or Duncan’s, or even Mitt’s. He’s still the front runner - look at USA Today.
Spitler AND Hillary: both swiftboated on a sea of taco sauce. LOL.
Maybe so - I didn’t think of that. But if he can’t beat her on his home turf, how does he expect to nationally? Maybe it’s the familiar syndrome of “ignoring” the conservative base, or just pretending it doesn’t exist.
That’s too awful to contemplate.
(crosses legs and grimaces)
>> Pundits speculated that the WOT was the new social issue, more important to Republicans than abortion or gay marriage
Speaking only for myself, the President’s role in the WOT is WAY more important to me than the President’s role in either abortion or gay marriage.
That doesn’t mean that his stance on these social issues is UNimportant, however. I just don’t think they are pivotal issues for POTUS, because POTUS only has influence over them, not control. (OTOH POTUS has siginficant CONTROL over how the WOT is waged.)
Anyway, what sours me on Mr. Giuliani is his position on the 2nd amendment.
With Rooty running around campaigning---the Repub Party is looking at another Nov 2006 debacle. Repubs are sending the message to the party's PTB that they will not contribute unless Rooty drops out.
CONTACT THE RNC: Demand the RNC kick Rudy out at once to forestall a Repub debacle across the nation.
