The worst thing about a Clinton versus Guiliani matchup would be what?

[edwardsdefender]

I think it would be watching the both of them try to out tough the other, while trying to out victim the other as well.

For example:

"I'm tough on terrorism, look what I did" followed a few questions by "9/11 happened to my city...it happened to my state."

I already feel like throwing up just thinking about how a race between the two of them would be all about 9/11, further serving to validate the government's conspiracy theory about the matter.

1. Them strutting the "Cat Walk"

I'm to sexy for my skirt, too sexy for my skirt.

[jcrew2001]

42. Which looks better in a Dress? Rudy or Hillary hahaha

my pick is Rudy - the best looking pre-op candidate.

[bahrbearian]

43. They are both cross dressers.

[MannyGoldstein]

2. One Of Them Winning?

That would be awful.

[Demeter]

5. Truer Words Were Never Posted!

[Tom Joad]

7. Like choosing between Death by hanging or firing squad.

[movonne]

9. ditto...

[jefferson_dem]

24. B-I-N-G-O. It would be absolute torture to deal with either one as POTUS for four + years.

[Elidor]

33. Lol!

Too true, too true.

[Demeter]

3. The Slime Ugh!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. The worst thing would be that one of the other of them would end up winning.

Obviously Ghouliani would be way worse than Hillary, but I really don't want her to be our candidate.

[tridim]

6. Moot question, Rudy-tooty isn't going to win the nomination.

Mitt will.

[MannyGoldstein]

10. But Mrs. Clinton Might

Because nobody seems to think that DEMOCRATS voting for the IWR was a bad thing.

[edwardsdefender]

15. I've been saying Romney since 2005, so you're preaching to the choir

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

8. Welcome to DU. Sorry you think they have that many similarites.

There are chasms between their domestic and foreign policy positions. MKJ

[Cameron27]

11. Thanks for pointing that out.

:thumbsup:

[edwardsdefender]

17. I didn't say there isn't. But it's a safe bet that the media will force them to out 9/11 the other

and they will gladly comply.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

18. edited, you have a point. I would hope that Senator Clinton would focus on heath care.

MKJ

on edit, edited my knee jerk reaction.

[tularetom]

12. Having to look at them in a pantsuit

[Czolgosz]

13. The worst thing would be that the Repub base will not turn out for Giuliani (so Edwards or Obama

will pummel him) but they will turn out to vote against Hillary (turning a Democratic landslide to a narrow Democratic win).

[OHdem10]

14. This does not mean I believe the contest will be HilaryVs Rudy

but here is what I would see as the biggest problem in this matchup.


Hilary will be running as Democratic Centrist.

The Republicans typically sell their candidates as Moderates
in the Campaign. Remember back to GWB. The Media never
spoke unless they described Bush as a Moderate. To Bush's
credit I can distinctly remember at least 5 times that he
specifically said , "I am a Conservative" to the crowds.
Nevertheless, the Sales Job will be Rudy is a Moderate
Republican.

Since there is essentially no difference between the two
on Social Cultural Issues--God, Guns , Gays and Abortion.
Rudy does promise Strict Constructionist Judges--Code to
RR that the Judges will likely overturn Roe V Wade.


That leaves Economic Policy,

Rudy running as a moderate will blur the lines.

Here comes the rub. Gop will find some way to make it
appear there is not that much difference between the two
Rudy is a strong warrior on Terror--Better elect him.

The danger in this matchup--It will be the easiest for
Gop to do their blur the lines.

[bahrbearian]

19. I'm waiting for Rudy to proclaim "I'm a uniter,not a divider"

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

21. Oh, OK.

MKJ

[spindrifter]

16. Clinton's wardrobe v. Giuliani's foreign policy.

[Jackpine Radical]

20. The worst thing is that Giuliani might win.

The second worst thing is that Hillary might win.

[rodeodance]

22. Rudy winning

[illinoisprogressive]

23. I think it would be the pundits dream come true in the form of a World Series election!

[rurallib]

25. The swimsuit competition.

[MrSlayer]

26. That one of them would win.

If they are the nominees, then we've all lost.

[provis99]

27. ugh. Battle of the moderates. How about a Kucinich vs Brownback matchup instead?

Much more entertaining, and easier to find someone to cheer for.

[LeftishBrit]

37. Except that Brownback might win...

and the world doesn't need an insane fundie in charge, especially with all the WMD he'd have access to.

And is Giuliani really a moderate, or does he just say he is?

[AndreaCG]

28. Hillary would get the NYC firefighters to run an ad endorsing her

They HATE Giuliani whom they feel abandoned their comrades' bodies in the rubble. Then there's the lies his administration and the Bush EPA spread about the air around Ground Zero being safe. And that Giuliani wanted the command crisis center located in the WTC even though his advisor said Brooklyn, which was sensible since the WTC had been attacked once before.

[BlueStater]

29. That would be an awful election

But I would still come out and vote for Hillary (though not as enthusiastically as I did for Kerry) because Giuliani becoming president would be nothing short of a travesty.

[leftofthedial]

30. the magnitude of Giulianni's defeat

[TankLV]

31. It was a Clinton route the last time they both ran if I remember it correctly...

Clinton should eat him alive...

[BlueStater]

34. She would definitely wipe the floor with him in a debate

Remove Giuliani from his protective little 9/11 bubble and he has nothing.

[flpoljunkie]

39. There was no rout, Giuliani withdrew from the Senate race because of his prostate cancer.

[trevor380]

32. Like it or not

Like it or not, it looks like that is going to be your match, although I don't think Clinton can win over Giuliani, he's going to solidly get the red states and that is always means a KO for the GOP

[BlueStater]

35. Well, that remains to be seen

The GOP is hardly thrilled with Giuliani at all or any of their candidates for that matter. They're so desperate that they're putting all their hopes on some dumbass actor.

[Deep13]

36. The fact that we might lose New York.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

45. Mmmff,

:spray: MKJ

[Wetzelbill]

38. all the puke I would have to clean up in my apartment nt

[Vinca]

40. The hassle with filling out all the Canadian immigration forms. nt

[klyon]

41. that one of those two people would be Pres. when there are better

candidates and Gore out there.

[Catchawave]

44. Well, the BEST thing for me would be.....

I already have two Subway Series t-shirts :D
