Rudy in 2012?

By Ed Brayton

Rudy Giuliani is getting a head start on 2012 by putting up a website and asking for donations. I wonder if he would run any better in 4 years than he did this year. I'd love to see an insider's report of what went on with the Giuliani campaign in the primaries. It was one of the most bizarre campaigns I've ever seen. He went from frontrunner to hopeless loser with hardly a peep from him. To quote what Barry Crimmins once said of Michael Dukakis, his campaign slogan should have been a shrug. I'd love to know what really went on behind the scenes that caused that to happen. It looked from the outside like at some point he just realized he didn't really want to be president and stopped taking it seriously.
