If this has been done to death I apologise, and if possible I'd like to be directed to a megathread on the subject. However, if not:
I propose this become a megathread to discuss one of the more interesting turns of events in recent political History - the failure of America's Mayor to secure the Republican nomination. The questions, as I see them (my answers to some of them will follow when we have a discussion going):
1. How does Giuliani get the nomination?
2. Who does he surpass/anger/curry favour with along the way?
3. Who does he pick as his running mate?
4. Who do the Dems put up if it looks like Rudy is going to be the nominee? Obama again? Hillary?
5. Does Giuliani win the General?
6. If not, why, and what would need to change (ASB or otherwise) for him to succeed?
7. If he did win somehow, what would his administration, and America today (say, by the 2010 midterms) be like?
