Giuliani said he spent as much time at ground zero as many rescue workers. Where was he really? Much of the time, at baseball games.

    He is a big torture advocate as well...

    But somehow he connects with Midwesterners. God save us! He is the (how shall I say?) "hip" choice among middle-American ding-dongs.

    They believe they are cool to choose Giuliani versus Romney or McCain, even though they themselves never actually have been cool in any way, ever, with their mullets and printed T-shirts and wrinkled pants and giant shoes.

    I believe they think it's cool that they have mastered the pronunciation of his name, "Jool-lee-AH-nee." That is a big deal. That is as sophisticated as they can imagine they ever might be.

    And they damn well hate Hilary. For no particular reason.
