Thats pretty funny Jerry! LOL!!
Kerry sunk any small chance he had with his "witty" comments about not studying and ending up in the military.
No dem can win the presidency without some appeal to the moderates in the red states.
Gore's a dinosaur.
Hilary ain't electable and you know it.
Its gonna be Edwards I'd think. Hes been pretty smart, pretty smart indeed.
Hes done something simple but brilliant, hes stayed out of the press and avoided making commentary on anything. The wind blows every which way in times of turmoil and terrorism like we have now. A comment that was fitting at the time of uttering it can turn out to be not so fitting one terrorist attack later.
Hes already got recognition from his VP run. Hes avoided making comments that and accusations that can be drudged up against him and he doesn't have a long liberal voting record.
The problem is that it looks as if the Dems will infight once again in the fight for the nomination, and it always hurts them.
Republicans really only have two candidates, McCain and Giualani and I think if Rudy truly wants it he will get it, and be elected president.
As a former federal prosecutor he has credentials as knowing the letter of the law and going after crime. As mayor he did a stunning job cleaning up NYC, and particularly going after crime. His actions during 911 may indeed have been little more than a lot of words, but he can truly say he will go after terrorism and knows of its effects more than anyone.
His true value is that he could be the first Republican since Reagen to carry Ny and its vast number of electoral votes. Upstate NY is HEAVILY republican but the City has always carried the Dems. Having been one of the most popular NYC mayors since LaGuardia, he could carry NYC and upstate would be a landslide.
Also have to factor in that Italian Americans would support him in masses. He has appeal as a "minority" of sorts attempting to become the countries first Italian American President. He also doesn't have a congressional voting record to be used against him.
I'm not sure yet that he really wants to be President, but if he does, I think its going to President Giulani in 2008.
