Rudy makes a strategic error

Rudy Giuliani is demanding that Mitt Romney apologize for the one halfway decent thing he did as governor of Massachusetts. I really think Rudy should think twice about this, especially if, as seems probable, he’s thinking about entering the race and repeating his 2008 flameout. Actually, he can’t do that, because this time there’ll be no flame, however brief, to put out. But Rudy thinks he can 9-11himself back into contention, so if he has any brains he’ll think twice about demanding apologies from his fellow candidates for past acts of sanity.

After all, very few of the announced, or even unannounced candidates have engaged in as many acts of sanity as Rudy. When Michelle, and if Sarah, gets in to the race, if they deign to notice Rudy at all it will be to demand that he recant some act of reason or another. And he has a stack of them, enough to make Mitt look batshit crazy by comparison. Abortion rights, gay rights, and if memory serves, even the ultimate sanity of gun control can be laid at his door.

No, Rudy doesn’t stand a chance to win the crazy contest, so if he’s serious about running he should consider letting the pros battle that one out.
