IMO, with the right support team in place enroute, and the right administrative team in place once he gets there, I think Rudolph Giuliani would make a fine POTUS.
Some of his less-desirable features could be moderated, the others balanced, by the people around him. He is unquestionably a good leader who did a fine job with NYC back when NYC was a difficult place to manage.
Had he been running against Obama rather than McCain he would have stood a better-than-even chance of winning IMO.

No question about that. McCain couldn't put together two consecutive coherent sentences. Giuliani, despite his flaws, would be a dream POTUS right now compared to the empty suit occupying the seat right now.
Excellent Post.
I agree.
