The idea that the USCCB will develope a spine is the truly laughable matter. Is not the proper term, “pro-choice catholic”?

Not that he would necessarily win the GOP nomination, but I think he would have a MUCH better showing. Especially if the GOP field of presidential prospects doesn't improve significantly between now and then. Then it would be time to gear up another Catholics Against Rudy effort.

I'd like to think he's smart enough to know he has no prayer of ever becoming President. And if he did, deciding to do so by going for a Senate seat rather than the governorship is truly strange. The current occupant aside, our presidents don't come from Congress. Then again, this is the guy who thought skipping a month's worth of primaries was a good strategy, so who knows.

That he would run for president again after the flop of last time is just laughable. As a Senator Giuliani wouldn’t be so bad (at least he wouldn’t have the power to bomb anyone).

Anyway, the current holder of that Senate seat in NY is a pro-choice Catholic.
