(Newser) – Bloggers are having a heyday parsing the rambling 17-page essay Rudy Giuliani has published in Foreign Affairs, laying out his big-picture foreign policy views. "Lengthy, pompous and ultimately very confused," writes Salon, and Slate is no kinder: "The breadth and depth of... Read full story »

The Real Rudy Hasn't Joined the Race Yet

America's Mayor is oddly absent on the campaign trail

(NEWSER) - Rudy Giuliani holds a nice lead in the pack of GOP presidential candidates, but it's not a result of anything he's doing on the campaign trail, Peter Boyer reports in a profile in the New Yorker. The Rudy who's winning in the polls is America's Mayor, the guy who cleaned up New York and carried the ball after 9/11, the feisty father-figure for whom, as George Will described it, "pugnacity is a political philosophy."

Neither NY Mayor Is White House Worthy

TNR questions both hizzoners' credentials

(NEWSER) - Deeming New York City "several light years away from the heart of America," New Republic writer Michelle Cottle assaults the qualifications of Mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg to be president.

Lunacy Could Be the Ticket For Rudy

Rudy isn't shaking hands, kissing babies, or leading in the polls

(NEWSER) - Rudy Giuliani isn't the type to kiss babies in Florida—or even shake hands. The former mayor has run a detached, tightly controlled campaign, eschewing personal contact, avoiding questions, and rushing past crowds after events, the Washington Post reports. His brusque style is leaving uninspired voters in his wake. “There was just no energy, you know?” said one. More»

Rudy Needs Florida to Take NY

Anything but first or a super-close second puts tri-state success in jeopardy

(NEWSER) - Rudy Giuliani's supporters predict a distant finish in Florida's Jan. 29 primary will cost him in Feb. 5 voting in strongholds New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. A strategy of focusing on Florida while ignoring early states has seen Giuliani plummet in Republican polls. "If he carries Florida, he carries New York," one former adviser told the New York Times, but "I wouldn't bet on it." More»
