Considering Giuliani
Daniel Drezner has an interesting recent observation about Rudy Giuliani's presidential bid:
Take this for what you will:Over the past month, I've had at least two dozen conversations with various people about Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign. A lot of these people are Democrats, but there were a healthy number of Republicans and independents as well. These are all smart observers of politics who generally do not make knee-jerk assessments. The one common denominator was that, at some point, all of these people had lived in the New York City area while Rudy was mayor.
What is astonishing is that, despite the fact that this collection of individuals would likely disagree about pretty much everything, there was an airtight conensus about one and only one point:
A Giuliani presidency would be an unmitigated disaster for the United States. That is all.UPDATE: Commenters have reasonably asked the "why?" question. For some answers from New Yorkers, click here and here.
Here is my contribution on why Giuliani should not be elected president.
