Giuliani Ready to Endorse McCain?

What? What? What?. It might actually happen! Cool. So Rudy Giuliani who is Bushier than Bush seems ready to quit the race? Phew!

My ideal candidate would be the best of a McCain-Obama combination but too bad that imaginary candidate doesn’t exist. If Obama wasn’t supportive of withdrawing from Iraq, I think I would have picked him immediately. But he wants immediate withdrawal and I believe such a haste move will bring along grave consequences for Iraq, the region and even America.

Foreign policy towards Sudan is another aspect that concerns me of course. Donkey Bill Clinton bombed al-Shifa factory (supposedly a chemical weapons manufacturing facility) and applied harsh sanctions. Long story short, he did us no favors. Bush (regardless of how much you hate him for badly screwing up the Iraq war) took a different approach and the result was the peace agreement signed between the SPLM and Khartoum. It’s the best damn thing that ever happened to Sudan in a long time. These are reasons that make me lean towards an Elephant candidate who will continue that approach.

If only that ideal centrist candidate existed. It would have been more fun if Collin Powell was in this race.

For now, it’s increasingly looking like this: Hillary or Obama Vs McCain or Romney.

    I voted for Mccain today because I think he has the best chance in Nov of any of the Republicans, and it would be horrible if Hillary were to win.

    Congrats on the new things in Sudan!

    I think he’s the best of the Republicans. Even though he’s a dinosaur and I don’t agree with him on everything. Good choice. :)

    I have long liked McCain. To me…of all the candidates…he seems less like a predictable party-line guy. We had Richard Rhiordan as mayor of LA for a long time…I loved him because he was a Republican that would piss off the dems. and then turn around and piss off the Republicans…

    I like a candidate that seems to stand for issues instead of parties. I’m an independent…so I guess I like folks that more closely follow that kind of thinking.

    I agree and I’m a supporter of McCain - although only from the distance (being Hungarian). Just one tiny correction if I may. Obama is not supportive of an immediate withdrawal but of an immediate start of a gradual withdrawal that would end with no permanent military base in Iraq. What this would actually mean in practice is quite unclear though.
