Giuliani cannot win the WH. Period. I saw the 2006 election results coming months before the election arrived, and I see a Giuliani trainwreck in the making now. Giuliani is divisive.
Giuliani is more divisive than any other candidate that I can remember since Perot.
Giuliani is not just a bad candidate, he is the absolute worst candidate possible.
Only within the Republican party. Not with the public at large. The polls are not wrong. Giuliani gets almost 50 percent of the vote in a general election before he spends a dime. It would take tens of millions of dollars just to match him in name recognition, and no other candidate except McCain has that kind of warchest at the moment. McCain already has the name recognition, but his high negatives make him a nonstarter.
The smart money in the party is already betting Giuliani. Rudy is quietly, steadily accumulating the strongest financial backing, brain power and endorsement base the party can offer. It is all over but the shouting, a fact that Thompson will soon come to realize and Gingrich has already concluded.
In the Freeper poll on the issue 70% will vote for Rudy over Hillary. That is a HIGHER percentage than he will receive from the general electorate.
Those who divide themselves away from the GOP will not be missed as Rudy will crush any RAT opponent.
