McCain, Edwards, Gore, Clinton, and Obama have history against them: Senators just don't win the oval office...not since 1960 anyway.

Governors, however, do have pretty good luck. Not too many governors up there but I suppose being Mayor of the largest city in the World could count

Of course, there are those pesky little facts that Giuliani is pro-choice, pro same sex unions, and pro gun control. How far do you think that will get him in the south?

Don't forget the unapologetic adultery.

Mubai is now the name of the largest City in the World.

I guess you mean Mumbai. I had thought that Mumbai and Bombai was a "You say tomato . . ." kind of difference, but I guess one is the new name.

Still wouldn't want to live there.
