America's mayor my ass
If Giuliani is as popular as the media keeps claiming he is, how come he couldn't pull any of these guys to victory?

6. ghouliani only seems presidential because
he's surrounded by a sea of incompetent, disgraced republicans.

but he's still a corrupt, authoritarian idiot compared to most of the democratic field.

7. Giuliani had 4 opportunities to run statewide in the past six years, he took none of them
Why am I supposed to be convinced that he's a viable presidential candidate when he's convinced himself that he couldn't be elected Governor or Senator of New York.

8. The media claimed today...
...that the fact that he didn't run against Hillary this year proves he's setting himself up for a presidential run.

It could just be that he knew he would get his ass kicked and didn't want anything damaging his post-9/11 aura.

9. Hopefully the Democrats will remind the brain dead of Guiliani's affair when he was still married.
Then they'll remind them that he took the MISTRESS (current wife) to the Governor's Mansion while his wife and son still lived there. Guiliani isn't going to be the repuke nominee. He's not pure enough. Remember Clinton?

11. SO glad I'm never going to see DeSwine again.
Can't believe True Blue Cuyahoga County's red stain of a newspaper The Blame Dealer had the BALLS to paint textbook Bush doormat DeWine as a "bi-partisan moderate willing to work across party lines" while painting Sherrod Brown's platform as something "out of the AFL-CIO playbook rather than the Democratic Party's" as if it was a BAD thing.

ALL they printed in Sunday's LTTE's were a bunch of sore loser freeptard "what's wrong with people? You'll be sorry you elected Democrats" ramblings. Riiiiiiiiiight, because this state's repukes have done SUCH an astounding job with Ohio and this country these past 12 years, you dicks.

I think I need to cancel this waste of wood pulp at ONCE.

12. ugh
If he runs, you better believe that as a lifelong New Yorker I will be dogging his campaign with protests. And I will not be alone.
He was our most widely-loathed mayor in generations: divisive, arrogant, and corrupt. The man outlawed dancing in the streets.
He hasn't a chance. Several million loudmouthed New Yorkers will make sure of that.

13. They got moron Bush elected !
Don't underestimate:
1. The pervasive effects of the corporate media (giant Wurlitzer, noise machine).
2. The willingness of republicans to commit election fraud.
3. The gullibility of about 50 million Americans.

Giuliani is a real creep. Another chickenshit chickenhawk republican with no military service.

14. Guiliani's fame..
... is nothing more than a media creation. My dad could have and would have done everything he did in the aftermath of 911, as would most of the men and women of America.

He's got more baggage than a 747 and the idea he is presidential material is laughable.
