Rudy Giuliani Versus Hillary Clinton

August 15th, 2007

Unlike the Democratic presidential contest, where Hillary is the clear front-runner, the Republican search for a nominee remains wide open. However, Rudy Giuliani is a serious contender, and therefore we should begin assessing his viability in a fight with Hillaryland. In my opinion, it would not be much of a fight.

To begin with, Giulinai is the most socially liberal among Republican contenders. This means there are two deficits that go with this: inability to arouse passion for his candidacy from the social conservatives that form an important core within the Republican base, while also being unable to divert many social liberals to the G.O.P. who normally vote Democrat.

The three marriages and other personal baggage that go with Giuliani will marginalize the lingering radioactivity that still resonates from the Monica Lewinsky affair. In short, Giuliani’s personal history makes it implausible for the Republicans to bring up the past Clinton marital escapades as campaign ammunition.

There is only one thing left with Rudy that is seen as a big positive; a strong leadership image on national security stemming from Giuliani’s performance on 9/11. However, there is much less to this performance than meets the eye.

Living through the 9/11 horror as a resident of New York City, I can affirm that Mayor Giuliani displayed courageous leadership on that date, and the days following, which helped hold a frightened and wounded city together. However, he is not without flaws, even on the issue of 9/11. In the period before 9/11, Giuliani made a decision which added to the death toll on that terrible day. Against advice from experts, Rudy decided that the city’s new emergency command center would be built right underneath the World Trade Center, despite that location already having sustained a previous bombing, conduted by Al-Qaeda. You can imagine how much worse things were on 9/11 without a functioning emergency command center. In addition, standing beside Giulinai during the 9/11 aftermath was his police chief, a man he would later suggest to President Bush should head the Department of Homeland Security, until he ran into legal problems. It turns out that Guilinai’s record on picking key subordinates is not exactly fool-proof.

All this is well known to the Clinton political machine. To beat Rudy Guilinai in the general election, all Hillary needs to do is demolish his image of leadership based on 9/11. As tough as Guilinai is, my money is on Hillary being far more ruthless. All the vulnerabilities mentioned above will be the theme of vicious attack ads created by the Clinton political machine.

Rudy Guiliani, with all his warts, was a great mayor for New York City. But as a serious challenger to Hillary Clinton in November 2008, no way, Jose.
