Bayh Vs. Giuliani

[George W. Bush]

What wound a map look like?

I voted Giuliani.

[Alcon]

I am not sure. I would vote for Bayh, so I voted Bayh on the poll.

What Giuliani (Guiliani? Whatever) did to his wife was horrible.

[Reaganfan]

He did not get a BJ in the Oval Office....

[Alcon]

He did not get a BJ in the Oval Office....

Oh, in that case, what he did is totally fine.

I would argue that openly flaunting your mistress in public while you are still married is worse, but hey, that's just me. At least Clinton only cheated on his wife. Rudy not only cheated, he seemed to be proud of it.

[Reaganfan]

Few points:

*He was not president of the United States
* He did not lie to the American people

[Alcon]

Thanks. Next time I do something horribly immoral I will remind everyone that I am not the President and I did not lie to the American people. That makes plenty of sense - if you ain't the President, it's all good!

Both Clinton and Rudy where wrong to do what they did and Lieberman was right to stand up and admit when all most Democrats did was "rally round" that Clinton had done something wrong and should be reprimanded... a censure would have been best IMHO, impeachment was going too far and was basically a partisan initiative. 

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Few points:

*He was not president of the United States
* He did not lie to the American people

*so what? adultery is adultery, regardless of your status.
*no, he simply flaunted his adultery and hurt his wife much more. Considering that what Clinton lied about was none of "the American people"'s business anyway, I don't care what he said.

Rudy also got his got his first marriage of 14 years!!! annulled after the fact because she was his second cousin.  That certainly wouldn't help him.

You're really not helping...

I'd vote for Guiliani, but he wouldn't win against Bayh.

[King]

Bayh!

[Beet]

Giuliani- 51% chance
Bayh- 49% chance

[Democratic Hawk]

I'd support Bayh - but I'm not certain whether he'd win. Both are moderates within their parties and should equally appeal to moderates (c.45% of the electorate)

However, I'd expect Giuliani to receive significant support among liberals (c.21% of the electorate) and Bayh among conservatives (c.34% of the electorate)

I think come 2008 a moderate Democrat versus moderate Republican will be close and could go either way in a straight fight but:

1) Would Bayh get a break in the South over a socially liberal Republican?
2) Would a prominent conservative Republican run as a third candidate; thus splitting the GOP vote?

Guiliani married his cousin?  Well, he has the South locked up then, doesn't he?
