I think Hillary would clean his clock but good in a presidential election.

Giuliani is actually the only one of them that profoundly scares me, and not just for the ugly, frightening ideas he’s selling on this year’s campaign trail, but for his demonstrated approach to political leadership in the past–the secrecy, the paranoia, the high tolerance for sleaze and malfeasance as long as he’s got unswavering loyalty, etcetera.

I think Romney’s flip-floppery and, to a somewhat lesser extent, his Mormonism will keep him from getting the R nomination. I think that Mike “releasing rapists and murderers for partisan advantage since 1999” Huckabee is toast. I think McCain is yesterday’s news. I think “Sex on the City” does it for Giuliana. And I think Paul is too weird even for the Rs. But doggone it, one of them is going to win it, probably in the next two months. Who?
