Apparently he’s not going to let the total failure of his 2008 candidacy deter him: Rudy Giuliani gearing up for DC run.

Giuliani’s failure in 2008 wasn’t just due to strategic blunders; he played on his 9/11 experiences so much that for many people (myself included) he crossed the line into exploitation. That’s the image he’ll have to shake if he wants to have a chance at the presidency.

And he has some other huge problems, given the GOP’s current state of insanity — he’s pro-choice, not a creationist, and doesn’t deny the existence of human-caused global warming, and that’s a package of Tea Party deal breakers if I’ve ever seen one.
