He may be an unstable, scary guy, and he may not share any of the values of Middle America, but he worked for Reagan, so don't you worry!

But, wait - there's more! Foreign policy experience.

As the Associate Attorney General in the Reagan administration, Guiliani—after meeting face to face with Haitian dictator 'Papa Doc' Duvalier regarding the fate of some 2,000 Haitian refugees fleeing persecution—is credited with having testified that political repression, at least in general [terms]… no longer existed [in Haiti.]

Got it? Foreign policy experience. Even back then.

And, look how well the Haitian situation turned out…

But reports yesterday indicated that Giuliani was also choosing to concentrate on Iowa, a fascinating and perplexing strategic move.

Yeah but Reagan never embraced Bernie Kerik . . .

He also has a great deal of foreign policy experience from his time at Giuliani Partners which represents the government of Qatar, as well as an oil company controlled by President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela. Giuliani Partners also prepared him for dealing with health care issues by allowing him to learn about these things while representing the maker of OxyContin. (It is amazing how these details of Rudy's "experience" just don't warrant the attention of the MSM outside of the Times, where they understand exactly what he is from his time as Mayor).

This is beginning to sound to me like Rudy's campaign is completely unprepared to find that Rudy is in trouble in the early states --- and his campaign is top-heavy with "chief advisors" who can't agree on a strategy going forward.

So one 'cheif advisor' goes to Rudy and says... look at your national numbers. You're gonna blow everyone else in what is left of the competition away on Super Tuesday if you start concentrating on those states now, rather than pursue a risky strategy of concentrating in Iowa and New Hampshire in a crowded field. And that strategy is leaked.

Then someone else goes to Rudy and says.... Rudy, you can't abandon all the early states. You'll wind up in third or fourth--- and get characterized by the media as a former front-runner who is being rejected by the base. I mean, look at what they did to McCain... you won't have nine months to re-reinvent yourself. You gotta start strong. So Rudy decides to concentrate on Iowa but not New Hampshire...

but then someone else says... have you looked at the Iowa numbers? Its a huge risk... and if Rudy doesn't win in Iowa, then comes in third or fourth in New Hampshire, you're in worse shape than if you were ignoring both states. So Rudy is now right back where he started... competing in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Rudy looks like he's ready for a meltdown..... and I expect that he's gonna take some major shots at the next debate to get him to go nuclear, and kill his campaign.
