I remember how our side lost the argument during the Clinton impeachment years - it was precisely because this sort of spittle-spewing hysteria is a major turnoff to most people.
And they're definitely turning people off.
Which, of course, makes me increasingly optimistic about Giuliani's chances. His most vocal opposition is overwhelmingly self-marginalizing.
Opposition to Giuliani is centered around a bunch of extreme fringe zealots. Good riddance to them. I welcome their exit from the party.
So are his most vocal supporters. Maybe it's just a matter of whose spams you like better.
