I thought he looked good in Drag. Maybe he should show up at the inauguration in drag.

This guy isn't going to be McCain's attorney general, right? Tell me he isn't going to be AG. Tell me he's gone and will never be back.

Where did Giuliani find a room full of supporters? Did he fly them in on that 727?

He looks old, and he's sort of slurring his speech. I bet we find out later that he's got some kind of health problem.

The enthusiasm above can be used for all of the Republican candidates at this point. I truly believe that we have the office in '08. I'd prefer it if Hillary scores the slam, but I'm o.k. with Obama.

I know I'm getting ahead of myself here, but when I look at the lineup, I can't help but think about what most of our country is seeing here. Thanks to the Internet, BS and double-BS is communicated to millions within seconds, and I can't help but feel (and hope) that the majority of '08 voters will be enlightened enough to make the right choice.

The Republicans have what they've always had: an array of religious white men who focus on issues that involve tax reduction, foreign bloodshed, bigotry towards immigrants and non-believers + the everlasting smug "God-loving husband/wife family is all that matters" rhetoric..oh, and let's not forget, the ideology that if we hadn't invaded Iraq, terrorists would have been performing attacks with epic proportions on a daily basis.

Third party shitheads are all Republicans who are ashamed of their party, but they're bright enough to see that their true social beliefs aren't going to fly anymore. Kind of like they didn't when it came to blacks and women.

We, however, have a candidate lineup that visually depicts true diversity. Although the mess that is "the war on terrorism/terror" will fall in our hands, we have the best thing going for us: the Republicans have shown that they're nothing but cretin scum. The only excuse they have right now is that "Bush isn't really a conservative" and all that says is that the moron saying it wasn't "really a conservative" at the time they voted for him. I'd say more, but I know I don't need to, and I've never been a fan of no-nonsense blogging...so..yeah.

I can only hope that we win. I hope we win by more than 10%. I hope we--if we win--grow the balls to hold the office with not only nobleness, but with competence. There are large issues at stake, and there are larger issues at stake. Whether it's Obama or Hillary, I can only pray to Anderson Coopers sexy face that we do well. Oh, and as an HRC supporter, even I hope that Bill Clinton starts shutting the fuck up.

Oof. I'm drunk. And shleepy [sic].

I liked Ed Koch's gleeful comment:

"The beast is dead."

I have to say, I'm sad about this. I really, really, really wanted Guiliani to be the nom. I mean, it would have been the most hilarious opposition campaign ever. Ever.

Mostly because the internet would have done all the work for them, and it would have consisted of viral videos of RG in drag. I gotta say, I think we missed out on this one.

*Fewer* lawsuits, Rudy, *fewer.* Not "less." "Less" describes things you can't count. Lawsuits are clearly countable.

If you have any ad money left after going belly-up, buy your speech writer a grammar manual.

Dear god, I'd rather deal with another four years of Bush than listen to Sylvester the Cat spit his way through the English language for four years.

I couldn't be happier. Even Will @6 made me laugh. This is shaping up to be one hell of an election year!

Oh no, now Edwards too.

Great. Now we have to worry about the crazy righty dream ticket:
McCain/ Giuliani 2008

@23--exactly. Departures of Edwards and Rudy don't mean they might not come back as VP candidates... though I think McCain is more likely to tilt RIGHTward for his VP to attract the Christofacists and Base GOPers who aren't comfy with Grampa Centrist back to the ticket.

Wouldn't it have been awesome if the phone rang: it was his 3rd wife, telling him his dress was ready at the cleaners?

i am so happy that little prick is over. 'prick' just seems like the perfect word for that...prick.

mccain will go with huckabee, not 9ui11ani. he needs the evangelicals that are still upset with his falwell comments of 2000.

i think edwards will stay out of it. no second fiddle for a second time. classy move to back out now, minimizing the damage of a fractured delegation at the convention. he was truly the best progressive candidate, but it's not his time (and may never be again). it's too bad.
