Rudy may have roasted his own chestnuts. As Jim Geraghty notes,
Drudge is spotlighting this comment by Rudy:
Do I have any plans on killing McCain Feingold? (laughter) Gee, why don’t you ask Senator McCain that? He knows more about McCain-Feingold… Let me tell you a few things. This is not personal at all, because I happen to be a very big admirer of Sen. McCain. And I can tell you quite honestly that if I weren’t running for president, I would be here supporting him. In fact, if for some reason I made a decision not to run, he’d be my candidate. I really admire the man tremendously.
The fact that Giuliani is a leading GOP candidate for the presidential nomination highlights how the Party has become little more than a whorehouse for Demipublicans. Why would anybody bother voting for this crowd?
Submit to Stumbled Upon!
Talk about a tin ear for the political scene. Can’t Rudy see how McCain’s campaign is going down in flames? Any politician with any sense should be running away from the McCain flameout.
I know he has to defend his stance on M-F because he can’t get away from it without being Kerryesque. He can’t pretend to be pro 2nd without appearing like a hypocrite at this point, given his NY Mayoral policies. But you can support the bill without supporting McCain.
Please Fred, declare already. Because if he doesn’t run, the thought of any of these others as POTUS is depressing.
I was ok with Rudy as candidate, but not excited about it, until I saw this.
