Now you're sounding like a Pauline. NO ONE can accuse the media of "pimping" Rudy. He has been hit with more negative stories, on a daily basis, than any other candidate---for about six months. The fact that he's still leading in a number of states is actually pretty remarkable, considering. Mitt is second in slime attacks by the drive-bys.

Rush has been quite accurate in saying that the Huckster got a complete pass from the drive-bys because they wanted him to be the nominee. They have dropped him because he is so Ron-Paulish as to be ridiculous. His "non-commercial commercial" was, I think, the last straw, though for the drive-bys. No one could ignore that.

Even negative publicity is publicity. It means the name is put to the public, regardless of the context, the name is out there far more than the others.

You’re kidding, right? Giuliani has been getting pimped non-stop by one entire network (Fox) and has been getting mostly softballs from the rest. He has his very own radio shill ( and several shill-ettes) in Hannity ( and the replacements he uses when on vacation). Not to mention all the print media help he’s had all along, because he’s the most liberal of the GOP candidates.Funny that since he’s been cratering in the polls, he’s still on the media radar, even though he’s nearly down to Hunter/Ron Paul numbers.
Giuliani has not been “hit with slime pieces”, he’s had to face up to the life that he’s lived so far. Mitt has had to face up to his past. Is this slime?
