Sellout, thy name is McCain
With Giuliani in the GOP '08 field as the most likely challenger to McCain I see a huge historical repitition coming with a bizarre twist.
In 2000, McCain had won New Hampshire and was leading in South Carolina, but had no support from evangelicals so he just decided to rail against them on the stump. George Bush, who was the evangelicals' candidate, gathered together a team for an extremely dirty anti-McCain campaign. It worked, Bush won and McCain lost.
Forward to 2008. Giuliani is derided by the evangelical right, and has no support among them, and may well try to run a "centrist" primary campaign appealing to the relative social liberals in the Republican party. He's leading in the polls.
Meanwhile, McCain is trying to position himself as the evangelicals' candidate, and he has hired the core of the same team who ran the extremely dirty campaign against him in South Carolina.
So, we have the makings of a complete McCain turnabout.
How long until Giuliani has an illegitimate black baby?

They don't need to give Rudy an illegitimate black baby - he's been married three times (once to a cousin - although that just might play well with evangelicals), brought his soon-to-be third wife home to Gracie Mansion to schtup while his second wife and kids were home, moved in with two gay men after his second wife threw his cheating ass out of Gracie Mansion for schtupping the soon-to-be third wife.
And that's just his personal life. Don't forget Kerik, his shady business dealings, his placement of the NYC emergency response center in WTC 7 after the WTC complex had already been attacked by terrorists in 1993, and his hiding of the environmental impact of Ground Zero on Ground Zero workers.
Given all the true stuff about St. Rudy, I just don't see the McCain people having to make much up.

It's funny, I always forget about Kerik stuff and the "mobbed up" rumors.
I think the 9-11 stuff is pretty damning if it's applied. It "attacks him at his strength." It shows poor planning echoing this president, and it shows a lack of concern for "the heroes."
Imagine a coughing NY firefighter in an ad saying Rudy didn't tell me.
(And, yeah, the social stuff is important, but he's not getting much of that vote anyway after a year of pre primary coverage.
