Kristol(sorry!): Giuliani nomination 'problematic' in scandal's wake

[tekisui]

Conservatives agree: this week's scandal about whether or not Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani misused city funds while Mayor of New York has taken a serious toll on his candidacy. Appearing on the program Fox News Sunday, Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes, both of the conservative Weekly Standard, suggested the Giuliani campaign is in trouble.

"Bill, I've come to the conclusion that any story that begins 'presidential candidate' and 'girlfriend are not good," host Chris Wallace said to his panelist.

"No, and when the follow-up story in the New York press is that, in fact, New York City police chauffeured around Judith Nathan - she was Rudy Giuliani's girlfriend or mistress but certainly not yet married to him in 2000 or 2001 - that's not good either. It was a very tough week for Giuliani. I think his path to the nomination is very problematic," Kristol told Wallace. Kristol also cited Rudy's recent decline in Iowa, New Hampshire and National polls - all before the story of alleged misuse of city funds broke on Thursday.

2. I'd hesitate to use Kristol for a source

But if he and Fox are seeing trouble for Rudy, it's got to be quite bad.

6. Judith Nathan was already a libility for 9iu11iani before this broke...

It looks bad enough for a candidate to have been cheating on his wife and then marrying his mistress, when he was using taxpayer funds to cheat on his wife that is a campaign killer. I don't normally agree with Kristol, but this time he is right. Rudy is toast.
