Was Giuliani 2008 the worst Presidential campaign ever?

[Phony Moderate]

There's always Mike Gravel's 2008 campaign....

Pardon?

[Mr. Morden]

There's always Mike Gravel's 2008 campaign....

Any campaign with an ad like "Rock" is by definition the awesomest campaign ever.

As a young conservative, Cathcon doesn't yet understand the difference between "horrible" and "awesome."

He was a Catholic, pro-abortion, pro-gay rights, NYC liberal running in the GOP primary.  He never had a chance.  The only reason he had name recognition was the Liberal Northeast Media based in NYC was in love with him and pumped his name up.  Nobody in the heartland cared for him.

lol this one just won't die, will it? Giuliani was by far the most pro-war of the major candidates in 2008: he undoubtedly would have bombed Iran by now if elected. He supported waterboarding and the Patriot Act. In his speech at the RNC, he said that the phrase "Islamic Terrorism" was an insult to terrorists. His fiscal positions, while not off-the-wall conservative, are well within the Republican mainstream. Being pro-choice and pro-gay rights does NOT make someone a liberal

Well, I'm sure the Christian Conservatives in Iowa and SC will differ from your opinion and call Rudy a flaming liberal.  Being "Pro-War" was not the big issue.  It was about having the most political experience and best resume, and hero McCain won that issue.  Certainly McCain beat Rudy in the "foreign policy" issue as well according to military voters.
