Can Giuliani beat Obama?

[RIP Robert H Bork]

LOL no.

getting the economy back on track, cutting spending and lowering taxes.

Yeah, like Giuliani would do that, all in between starting World War III.

there were many reasons why Giuliani lost the primaries.

1. Iowa was a relatively inhospitable climate for a liberal Republican like Giuliani, plus Huckabee and Romney had sucked most of the oxygen out.
2. NH much more receptive, but dominance by neighboring-state Romney and McCain.
3. Michigan, see above, with a more conservative base at the panhandle.
4. SC - speaks for itself.
and after 4 consecutive last place finishes.. is Giuliani ready for victory?

Even Huckabee finished ahead of Giuliani in NH.

because Giuliani didn't campaign there. (not that i supported him anyway) but Giuliani's strategy was to lose 4 or 5 primaries, then jump in at Florida and say "Here I am, ready to win!" it was a serious blunder. Thompson's was equally bad, though his purpose was more or less to throw the primary to McCain.

Although, even under more favorable circumstances, I'm not sure Giuliani could've won the primary. I remember reading somewhere that Giuliani's biggest problem was Giuliani.

Actually, Giuliani campaigned quite tediously there. I think he spent the third largest amount in New Hampshire, only behind Mitt Romney and John McCain.

And he still finished fourth, in a state where he was expected to do far better to boot.
