During a discussion on the 2008 presidential contest on Chris Matthews' NBC show yesterday, Andrew Sullivan said there was no way in hell Americans would elect someone like John Edwards in the middle of what amounts to a world war, citing the 2004 VP nominee's single term in the Senate and lack of foreign policy experience.
Ok. I tend to agree with him there (I wasn't at all keen on Edwards during the 04 primary and general election contests). But when asked who fit the bill on the Republican side Sullivan listed John McCain and Rudy Guliani.
Huh? Rudy Guliani? The man was mayor. What sort of foreign policy experience did he get in that office that trumps former Sen. Edwards'?
It doesn't really matter. Their love affair with his 9/11 performance aside, Republicans would never nominate a social liberal like Guliani.
