Andy McCarthy thinks it’s a mistake for Romney to hit Giuliani on being married more than once, contending it’s easy to alienate a lot of divorced voters that way.

It reminds me of a mailer in a House race outside Philadelphia last year, hitting the Democratic candidate for not voting in 13 of the past 19 elections. For some people, that will seem like a major failing on his part; for a lot of people who only vote in presidential years or when a race has caught their attention, attacks like that fall flat.

UPDATE: It’s not clear that that Romney aimed to hit Giuliani for being married more than once; the words came in the middle of his get-off-my-back-about-my-faith comments, once each to Stephanopolis and that Iowa radio show host. Byron addresses it here. Still, when Romney talks about a candidate being more than 70 years old, we know he’s talking about McCain; it seems clear that that in this reference, he’s asking why Giuliani doesn’t get asked about his multiple marriages in every interview.
