The more I think about it the more I like Rudy but I HAVE to insist he get off the gun control thing. If he is serious about running he better make it clear he doesnt favor any kind of National Gun Control law. jdn

Re: "if Giuliani could withstand the scrutiny and go the distance, then he could be the one, I could put my money on him..."

As that leaked Giuliani campaign planning document pointed out, he might have some real melt-down potential on a national stage:

One page cites the explicit concern that he might "drop out of (the) race" as a consequence of his potentially "insurmountable" personal and political vulnerabilities.

On the same page is a list of the candidate's central problems in bullet-point form: his private sector business; disgraced former aide Bernard Kerik; his third wife, Judith Nathan Giuliani; "social issues", on which he is more liberal than most Republicans; and his former wife, Donna Hanover.

"... he and Condi would make a strong enough ticket"

My guess is that it's possible NEITHER ONE of them will run (especially Condi --- who has REPEATEDLY said that)... and fairly likely that even if Giuliani *does* enter the race, he will quickly run into huge problems amassing enough Republican delegates to go anywhere.
