Former Top Rudy Adviser Hits Him For Abandoing "Progressive" Views
By Greg Sargent - September 13, 2007, 11:11AM

Fran Reiter, the campaign manager for Rudy Giuliani's successful mayoral reelection campaign in 1997, is snubbing her old boss and backing Hillary instead, according to today's New York Post.

Tellingly, Reiter, who also served as a deputy mayor in the Giuliani administration, blows the whistle on Rudy for his lurches to the right in the GOP primary, saying he's backed off of the "progressive" positions he held as Mayor.

"He took a political turn to the right," Reiter tells the paper. "It's a much more ideological agenda. The progressive views he took he's backed away from."

So a former top adviser to Rudy says he's "progressive"? Somehow we get the feeling that GOP primary voters will be made aware of this.

1. Hardly news. Rudy had to run as a "liberal" Republican to win in NYC.

...which is why he had to adopt non-crazy stands on issues like, say, providing services to undocumented workers.

And yeah, GOP primary voters most assuredly are being made aware of this.

2. That story doesn't actually say she's going to WORK FOR Hillary, just that she's BACKING her.

That small quibble aside, I do think it's great ammo against Guliani.

Let's get the word out to the repub voters that his former
Deputy Mayor described him as "progressive"!

And now he's a progressive FLIP-FLOPPER! :rofl:

4. The same can be applied to Hillary also

Where are HER progressive views? It is even worse since Hillary is a DEMOCRAT.

Incidentially, I voted for her twice for Senator. I will NOT be voting for her for her for President. To try to gain national support, she is moving way to the right. I will not even go into her views on the war and the Middle East.

I am voting for Obama. Edwards lost me on the health care issue and I also want somebody who is NOT from the South.
