When Rudy met Hillary
Rudy Giuliani markets himself as the Republican with the best shot at beating Hillary Clinton next fall. But the first time the pair faced off, that's not how it worked out.
By Rob Polner [2007-11-27]

  • Rudy

    Part of the issue the GOP has to contend with is that the media in New York is relentlessly against Republicans. Any New Yorkers who hate Rudy do so because the media beat him up relentlessly over 8 years.

    Why should Rick Lazio approaching Hillary in a debate be determinative? Only because the media made it into such a big story.

    I do agree that picking on a song is not an important issue, but neither should it be something which is used to disqualify a candidate. The media makes fun of Rudy for being superficial, but has that same quality itself.

    I like Rudy's toughness, but I think to be nominated and elected he needs to demonstrate that he can be a statesman and not petty or obnoxious. He is clearly smart, and has the best jabs of Hillary in the GOP field.

    Washington DC needs to be cleaned up and reformed, and Rudy is the best man to do it. The world is a dangerous place, and needs someone of his toughness to deal with it. I'm sure the enemies of America fear Rudy the most among all the candidates in either party.
