One of Mehlman's top deputies, RNC political Director Michael DuHaime announced in December that he would become Campaign Manager for Rudy Giuliani's 2008 presidential campaign.

As RNC Chair, Mehlman blessed pro-abort-pro-gay, gun grabber Rudy Giuliani's forays to campaign for Republican candidates during the 2006 campaign season.

The idea was for Rudy to earn campaign chits he would cash in when he ran in presidintial primaries.

To bad the candidates Rudy campaigned for lost. I guess Mehlman's aide Duhaime is Rudy's consolation prize.

It will be interesting to see what his hired advisors have him run as.

Look at this excerpt:

>>Either McCain or Giuliani could run and win as an independent. Either one could raise the money. Giuliani, released from the deadly confines of a Republican primary, would find his liberal social views on abortion, guns, and gays to be an asset, not a fatal flaw. McCain's legendary independence on issues like tobacco regulation, tough corporate governance, campaign-finance reform, global warming, torture of terror suspects and immigration would no longer be seen as straying from GOP orthodoxy once he left the Republican primaries, but would become the basis for a very attractive campaign platform. <<

Just what are these deadly confines we Republicans have? Morals?

I hope he does go as an Independent or Democrat. That is where he belongs.

One candidate Rudy busted his chops for won big-time.

GW Bush, arguably the most important candidate in 2004.
