Giuliani is not Bob Dole, and Hillary Clinton is not Bill. I don't see any potential Republican candidates that have more chance than Rudy. I see pros and cons with all of them.
A Giuliani Candidate is going to struggle to get people to hold their nose to vote for him.
looking in the crystal ball:
He will not get campaign money.
He will not get ground volunteers.
He will NOT have coat tails to help OTHER candidates.
awww darn, I had the crystal ball set for 1996, nope same result with 2008 rinoRudy.
Dole had no attraction to conservative voters. Rudy, undeniably has the same lack of attraction.
the solution remains, no Giuliani = no problem.
You're right! Giuliani makes Dole look like Ronald Reagan!
