Former Rudy Giuliani campaign manager Mike Duhaime will be the new political director for John McCain’s campaign, officials announced Sunday.

Besides the obvious complaints about this pick... it had been rumored that Giuliani was the one with the Michelle Obama rant on video. Could this be a sign that deals have been struck and the video will change hands soon?

Questioning minds want to know.

[Jeff Chandler]

What I want to know is if this guy is smart enough not to drive away conservatives, and does he know how to play smash-mouth politics?

Former Rudy Giuliani campaign manager Mike Duhaime will be the new political director for John McCain’s campaign, officials announced Sunday.

DUMB DUMB move! I kept saying to my mother that Duhaime would be lucky to run a campaign for Valley Stream school board after his "settle Rudy in Del Boca Vista" campaign strategy that turned Rudy from the front runner to a national joke within weeks. WTF is McCain thinking?

[Keyes2000mt]

Yeah, was he the one with the brilliant, “Fall Back to Florida” idea.

In other news today, Joseph Hazelwood has been named to captain Team USA’s entry in the Olympic Sailing competition.

[ComputerGuy]

Guliani ran a campaign ?
When was that ?

[mkmensinger]

Snort :^)

[Thrownatbirth]

McCain thought the cellphone schtick was brilliant.

“On important issues from the appointment of conservative judges to the passing of the Bush tax cuts, John McCain repeatedly sided with Democrats in the US Senate.”

Was that a compliment or an attack?

[NoGrayZone]

You mean VP??

-— WTF is McCain thinking? -—

You’d almost think he doesn’t want to be president.

Conservatives got screwed in this election like none in our history.

[DoughtyOne]

IMO, thinking hasn’t been John’s strong suit this election season. It’s by fear and loathing that he has just about any support at all. That doesn’t work in the long run. Not with these choices.

It’s like your local supermarket selling two detergents. One leaves your clothes more dirty than when you started the wash, and the other leaves them clean, but also a deep obnoxious pink.

Then you have a forum where those making either choice, trash the other for not using good judgement.

Good luck.

[donna]

LOL! I’m not sure.

[shield]

Excellent idea...

[Popman]

Duhaime is a protege of former RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman, who developed an elaborate national get-out-the-vote effort for the Bush campaign in 2004.

Since Bush in 2004 should have beat Lurch like a rented mule, this isn't a resume' plus if you are Ken Mehlman butt boy

[Nachoman]

Its becoming more and more apparent that McCain is destiny’s candidate. This is the only time in history a crazy idiot like him could get elected president.

[Be_Politically_Erect]

I want to know when McCain is going to fire Juan ‘my friend’ Hernandez.

[navyblue]

Amen my brother! But instead of a friend, I would prefer to call him a dual citizenship Mexican-American traitor.

Think about it.

How would you pull the rug from under the feet of the voters? and the wool over their eyes while you do it? and seek to stifle conservatism and capitalism in one fell swoop?

Yup, the 2 party system is alive and kicking? and about to get drop kicked into oblivion right before our very eyes.

It is not too late for the GoP to do the right thing. The problem is,, what leader or leaders will step forward to say as much? place your bets.
