For 50 days, Giuliani had the Sunshine State nearly to himself........hes sucked up to Miami's Cuban vote, pandered in Cape Canaveral about the space program, tried to scare retirees in South Florida. There he is riding in a fire truck in a Miami parade, trailed by angry firefighters who blame him for multiple failures when NY was attacked.......in the Panhandle, he's the consummate Yankees fan trying to look down-home on the Redneck Riviera.
Yet, the more they see of Giuliani, the more his poll numbers tank...... Rudys campaign is in meltdown. Amazing how much voters bring up his tawdry personal life. They laugh about Rudy in drag and Rudy when he lived with a gay couple.....in a state full of mothers who live for phone calls from long-distance adult children, theres one thing they cant abide Rudys wreck of a family life......people roll their eyes over the story of how Giulianis third wife picked him up in a cigar bar while he was still married to the second Mrs. Hizzoner.
I heard no end of condemnation over the mayors estrangement from his two children. He spent more than anyone but Mitt Romney in NH, and finished a distant fourth. And as Michael Powell and Russ Buettner documented in a remarkable piece in the Times earlier this week, Giuliani ruled by crushing anyone who dared to cross him.

I agree. It would be ironic if Rudy sneaked past John and Mitt who seemingly are tied tonight at 25% and won Tues. With early voting there, it could happen but proabably won’t. Still, the MSM piling hatred on Rudy makes one think that they also feared him . When the Times endorses any Pub, one is apt to wonder just when they will knife that person as Nov . nears. The hatred for Rudy but not for the Clintons in their tawdry relationships and corruption also makes one think that even some Pubs can be very self righteous.
“Rudy appears to dislike campaigning although he thrives well when holding office. “
Another thing he has in common with Fred. Both too genuine, perhaps, to hold high office. And a shame, because both running as Federalists.
I would love to see Rudy over Homeland Security. I think Romney likes him, FWIW.
Trying to compare a LIBERAL TURD like Rudy with a Godly man like George Washington either shows you have 0% knowledge about Rudy’s past, or you really like to take part in the crassest of propaganda!
” Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton and yes Giuliani “ What name does NOT belong in this series?
Giuliani does not end in “n”.
I find that if I agree with the NYT about anything, it's time to visit a therapist.
His problem is that he's a seriously flawed candidate who really doesn't have the credibility to run on any issue. Heck, he doesn't even the credibility to run as a Republican candidate.
Yes, they do because he's the strongest fiscal conservative of the bunch.
And if there's one thing the commies at the NYT hate the most, even more than social conservatism, it's fiscal conservatism.
Exactly, and a wonderful place to spend “catch your breath” time..
Excellent weather, fishing, natives, scenery, music and some of the FINEST food in the country.......
Rudy would get trounced like Mondale against Reagan if he's upped by the GOP against Hillery. It's time everyone realizes Guiliani is a loser outside of NYC.
Rudy and his partners personally and directly benefited from his cutting property taxes in NYC, most of his tenants didn't.
"...his vow to nominate Justices like Scalia..."
Name one appointment he made as "Magnificent Mayor" that fits that description. One was the head of a national faggot organization. I'd say he's the Mayor Maynot.
"...his stance on the WOT..."
It's his only claim to fame outside of NYC, his only spotlight to national public reknown. We'll touch on the broken clock syndrome next.
"...and his support of the DC appellate decision on guns...."
Even Rudy knows what he did in NY won't fly outside the confines of his city. It's the broken clock syndrome, but Rudy's is a digital and is stuck on 9:11.
One of his dumbest political moves was harping on his tenure in NYC.
(Scoff) like America really cares about NYC.
Rooty doesn't seem to realize if liberals elected him, that's a big turnoff in the heartland.
O.K. Here it is... they are of the same filth...
Sean Hannity is deeply saddened....
The old charm of PCB is gone. It is much like Destin or Gulf Shores. You can barely see the water between the condos.
I don’t know about the prices but I imagine that you are correct.
I first stayed at Long Beach in 1960....I loved it too!!
Rudy would get trounced like Mondale against Reagan if he’s upped by the GOP against Hillery.
What red states would Hillary pick off?
Zero.
" Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton and yes Giuliani "
What name does NOT belong in this series?
Certainly Washington and possibly Jefferson, depending on whether you believe the Sally Hemmings story or not (I don't) - the other three were/are flagrant adulterers.
Rudy sold his soul a long time ago and got what? He deserved to go down. The idea that religion, God, faith and morals do not matter is, quite simply, repugnant.
I believe you mean Go Back to the rat party. I think both he and Spector started out as rats.
You're presuming that we don't.
I'm against liars and statists wherever I find them. I won't spare Rudy just because he has an (R) after his name - he's as bad as anyone on the other side of the aisle.
