The last thing Rudy Giuliani needs is praise from Bernie Kerik. But, that's what he's getting.

With friends like these....

Keep it up Bernie.

Another take: The New Republic on Giuliani.
Giuliani is now pursuing the same strategy of sowing division, only this time on a national level. To hear him tell it, the election will pit weak-kneed Democrats against hard-line Republicans. "I listen a little to the Democrats, and, if one of them gets elected, we are going on defense," he recently told an audience in New Hampshire. "We will wave the white flag on Iraq. We will cut back on the Patriot Act, electronic surveillance, interrogation, and we will be back to our preSeptember 11 attitude of defense."
The New Republic piece cautions not to count Rudy out of the race. It says his sowing of dissent among Republicans is a planned strategy. One can only hope it's a strategy doomed to fail.

    He may cause the religious nuts (a very important faction) to bolt the Republican Party or just stay home on election day.

    probably not (none / 0) (#2)

    consider that your average, hard core republican isn't the brightest bulb in the box; they'll buy right into this. this is the same group that considers the current occupant of the oval office the second greatest president in our country's history, only behind ronald reagan.
