Rudy Ruettiger showed that with enough heart and determination, he could earn a varsity letter in football at one of the strongest football schools in the known universe. No mean feat. Rudy Giuliani showed that with enough heart and determination, he could clean up New York's subways and dramatically reduce crime. And make New York, once again, a city in which to live, and not merely visit.
Rudy G. has two problems that might hurt him as a Republican presidential candidate. The first is his personal life, which has some rocky spots. To say the least. They are only ugly bumps in the road, however, and only insurmountable to those who are without sin themselves. You know who you are, Pat Robertson.
The second problem? Rudy G. is, gasp, soft on abortion. There's a goodly portion of the Republican base, the social conservative wing, who will not be terribly enthusiastic about a Giuliani candidacy. To say the least.
But here's the nub of it: where else are they going to go? Vote for Hillary? Stay home and watch a Hillary get elected? Don't think so. Rudy G. is a social moderate, fiscal conservative, tough on law-and-order, and showed that he is a natural-born leader during 9/11. If he runs with Condi Rice as his veep, I say he'll walk all over The Hillary and whichever de-balled cretin agrees to be her running "mate."
