"Good Chance" Rudy Will Run

2007_02_giuliani3.jpgFormer Mayor Rudy Giuliani visited South Carolina and said, "There's a real good chance" he'll run for President. While this doesn't sound like new news, it's apparently his "most succinct" comments (per the Times) to date about his 2008 ambitions.

But then he said he wasn't sure if he could make a "unique contribution" and his aides wouldn't comment further. Giuliani did, though, say, "The fact is I appeal to conservative Christians the way I appeal to everyone else. I don't think you have separate appeals to people."

Giuliani's delay in announcing his candidacy, should he run, has led to some speculation that he might spring the news during a trip to Sacramento. Giuliani will be the keynote speaker at the California Republican Convention, and the California Republican Party's spokesman Patrick Dorinson tells the NY Times, “It’s going to be very well attended. We’ve received a lot of media interest and members of the party are very excited about seeing Giuliani, so if he wanted to make an announcement, it certainly could be a place to do it.”

Mccain versus Giuliani is a hella first round battle. two faggy liberal loving republicans.

I can imagine a quiet get-together of “family values” republicans, having a few drinks, smoking their smuggled-in Havanas. Bob Dole says: “I had my aides bring my first wife to court in the middle of the night, in front of a judge who was a friend and Bang! Divorce granted. She never even knew I had filed!” Newt Gingrich says: “That’s nothing! I told my wife I wanted a divorce just as she was coming out from under anesthesia after cancer surgery… just when she needed me more than ever!” Rudy says: “I married my first cousin and then had the marriage annulled to “marry up” to a blonde actress… and then had my lawyer slander her on television… on Mother’s Day… with my kids watching! Then I went to court to try getting her kicked out of our home so that my girlfriend could move in!” “Rudy”, they all cried out, “You are THE MAN!!!”

Tip to Rude: Stay in the private sector.

Let's hope Rudy beats out McCain in the primaries, because it'll be easier to overtake him nationally. He has so many problems in his history, both hidden and apparent, that will make it easier to squash any chance for him to win.

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.
