Conventional wisdom tells us the Republicans tend to follow the way of the most formidable fundraiser, which now favors Rudy Giuliani (R-NY), former mayor, and Mitt Romne (R-MA), former governor.

Most people have forgotten that the World Trade Center was the site of a terrorist attack in 1993 when current GOP presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani was New York City's mayor. So much for being prepared to lead. But I realize that extending the Iraq War and this "war on terrorism" is the...
