Presidential race, according to David Gergen.....So, Rudy Guiliani with all his personal crap and simplistic nonsense about fighting in the streets of Baghdad somehow has similarities to fighting crime in NYC...his "authenticity" makes him a winner.

3. Just talked to my Mom who loves Guiliani for some reason

She still knows nothing about him except that he gave a a few speeches after 9/11. I don't think anyone knows anything about Rudy outside of NYC and DU. Boy are they in for a surprise. If we weren't in such dire times, this coming election would be a heck of a lot of fun.
