There’s some consistency though — as a presidential candidate, he’s never told us otherwise, only Bill Simon did. Giuliani is a pro-choice pol who supports public funding of abortion but would not actively change current law for as long as current law is in place. So if Hyde is repealed? If Roe is overturned? Where will Rudy be? Well, he’ll be a pro-choice pol who supports public funding of abortion and he’ll be the Republican president of the United States. NOW and the gals must be loving the possibility of Rudy. And, yeah, again JPod, we must talk about it — especially because we have the luxury of time to talk about it right now. People may not know what the “Hyde amendment” is, but they get the gist of it and that matters.

As I said this morning while listening to Bob Bennett’s interaction with him, there is something that does draw you into Rudy … the tough guy who was in American living rooms everyday from 9/11 for weeks on. But then as this presidential possibility becomes more fleshed out, more and more people are going to realize he might have been a great in that moment — and done some fantastic things in New York — but may not be commander-in-chief material.
