I think the Rudy slide has begun.
I took a copy of the transcript and deleted all of the non-Giuliani stuff, just to see how he answered. UGH! Roe v. Wade—no big deal. Amend Constitution for Arnold—sure. Christians in the Gop—dodge question but be sure and mention all the dems and independents he will work with. Funding for abortion—I didn’t, well maybe I did, but that was only for the city. Reagan, Reagan, Reagan, Reagan, Reagan, Reagan. Taxes—eliminate death tax and adjust AMT (whew! that one was okay). Embryonic stem cell research—plenty of funds! and on, and on, and on. He got 16 questions and didn’t take the multiple opportunities given to him.
As to Politico, they did ask some questions that had been provided by readers, and several of those were addressed specifically to Rudy (about his mayoral record and such). Someone posted that those questions were voted on by readers, so they might not have had a choice? I don’t know. Some seemed out of place, but he didn’t botch any of those so they actually helped!
McCain was working that as well, with his “I can work with Democrats, I’ve already done it many times” admission.
Of course, we already know how McCain likes to work with the democrats.
