Rudy weakness will be family values and national security (for example the Kerik fiasco and his support of illegals).
I can just see Hillary setting herself up as the protected of family values, with tears in her eyes saying how she stood by her husband.
If Giuliani were a leading Democrat this probably wouldn't be an issue. The media would see to that. But I fear these kinds of stories will hound him straight through the campaign and be a distraction. That, along with his shaky record on issues important to conservatives, makes me very wary about his being the GOP nominee.
Rudy broke Presidential Campaign Rule Number One: Never hand your opponents really, really, really good issues to beat you up with.
Oh please! That's just nuts!
You got that right---nails Rudeo's problems but good.
As far back as 1993, when he ran for mayor of New York City, Giuliani was dogged by accusations that he pulled strings to avoid the draft. In fact, Rudy wangled a rare occupational deferment from serving in the Vietnam war in 1969, when he was a law clerk.
However, Rudy's scheming to get an occupational deferment is a far cry from 2008 Rudy's assertions, that he opposed the Viet war on "tactical and strategic grounds."
Egocentric power-hungry Rudumbo's "tactical and strategic grounds" blather is nothing but a naked attempt to pump his 2008 resume in the absence of solid military credentials.
"Peace through strength" was the Reagan line Rudy kept regurgitating at CPAC. I guess he can call on his "military" experience as a law clerk for that. /s
