Giuliani
October 24th, 2007 |Kevin Drum puts it best:
Choosing the best presidential candidate among the 2008 contenders is a tough job. Picking the worst is easy. Rudy Giuliani is the guy you’d get if you put George Bush and Dick Cheney into a wine press and squeezed out their pure combined essence: unbounded arrogance and self-righteousness, a chip on his shoulder the size of a redwood, a studied contempt for anybody’s opinion but his own, a vindictive streak a mile wide, and a devotion to secrecy and executive power unmatched in presidential history. He is a disaster waiting to happen.
I’ll take anyone but Rudy.

Replace Ghuliani with Hillary and the assessment still works.
Ghouliani (it’s Halloween-ish, right?) is at least forthright about being an idiot. Multiple-choice Mitt is actually the worst possible candidate.
There is a very short list of Republicans I can deal with: Huckabee and Paul. I frequently don’t share their viewpoints, but I do appreciate their grasp on the concept of principle versus naked pandering.
