Comments on: You’re the Next Caller on the Giuliani Show… http://www.redstate.com/brianfaughnan/2008/12/17/youre-the-next-caller-on-the-giuliani-show/ Fri, 29 Apr 2011 02:34:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: renegade http://www.redstate.com/brianfaughnan/2008/12/17/youre-the-next-caller-on-the-giuliani-show/#comment-2092 renegade Thu, 18 Dec 2008 13:07:02 +0000 http://www.redstate.com/brianfaughnan/?p=228#comment-2092 This is a smart move by Guillianni. This set up is custom tailored for him for a 2010 gubernatorial run. The way Patterson is destroying NewYork is similar to the way Dinkins destroyed NYC in the early 90's. High taxes, fleeing corporations, rising crime rates, nanny statism, riots were the norm in NYC before Rudy was elected. Patterson so far is following suit winteesed in his latest budget. Rudy already had a weekly radio show while he was mayor, and is comfortable behind the mic and as told by the ferret incident he doesn't pull any punches. His type of republicanism doesn't play well in the red states but in NY he fits the bill. This is a smart move by Guillianni. This set up is custom tailored for him for a 2010 gubernatorial run.

I don't know if I'd listen to Giuliani but I never miss Rush and Mark makes me howl with both rage and hilarity. As for Rudy's gubernatorial chances in 2010 - let this total idiot Paterson in Albany control things for 2 years and we'll be begging for the sense of a potted plant as governor. because it is the only evidence of sanity here.

And his audience. Look, he's obviously not stupid enough to try to compete directly with Rush or Sean. But why would conservative talk radio nation choose Rudy over, say, Mark Levin? Or Michael Medved? Or Glenn Beck? His show's ratings are going to be compared to those of O'Reilly's and they are going to be worse, and this will of course be played up in the gubernatorial election ("Look, even right-wing talk radio rejected him, why should we sophisticated New York elites even consider him?"). The show will be an anchor around his neck. Besides, we are all told by the establishment Republicans that it takes different types of conservatives to be elected in different parts of the country, and we should be tolerant of our conservative brethren who are wobbly here and there on conservative issues. I take exception to it, but that's the argument. Since New York is a very blue state, why am I in Nebraska going to want to listen to a social lib from New York trying to justify abortion in the name of conservatism? Rudy will have to choose between pandering to the SoCon base to improve his ratings, or pandering to the liberal New York electorate and trashing his ratings.
