I find myself agreeing with you... and I was as against Giuliani as anyone could be (or so I thought).

I still think Romney is the best of a bad lot, but I’m opening up to Giuliani. At this point, my only goal is stopping McCain. He’s the worst person in the field, on either side. If he wins, the party dies.

It is down to this imo, since we cannot have a ideologue, why not hire a man who can do the job for us, hire the man who has the cunning, the ruthlessness and SOB personality. And the man who has accomplishments, and produced results.

Romney is very, very, accomplished and has produced, no doubt. And is not the “sinner” RG was/is. But he also does not have his personality.

From American Thinker the other day:

"But more than any other candidate in the race, Rudy Giuliani is a liberal-slayer. When he rejects liberal orthodoxy, which he does often, he doesn’t just oppose it. He goes to war with it - total, unconditional war.

He spent his political career chewing up liberal orthodoxy and spitting it out - and I think that somehow, in some way, voters in Oklahoma and Kansas get that about him even without knowing the specifics.

His success in turning New York around wasn’t merely a matter of changing policies. He had to sustain those policies when they came under deliberate, systematic and unrelenting assault by the city’s liberal elite.

In case after case, he refused to accept the veto of liberal public opinion. He drove porn shops out of residential neighborhoods, even though his administration had to fight more than 30 lawsuits on the matter. He crusaded against bilingual education, a disastrous policy that had gone unquestioned in this city for decades.

And most important, he stood up for the police department against any and all attacks - which were incessant and incredibly unjust. The race baiter's and their shills at the Not-So-Great Grey Lady talked as though the NYPD was engaging in genocide when the opposite was the case - many thousand of people are alive today who would have died if the NYPD hadn’t taken on its newly aggressive posture under Giuliani."

Good grief, I don't know, it may be to late to stop Huck and McCain.
