That was Giuliani's objective from the beginning. Lots of public exposure, huge increases in speaking fees, more business for his "businesses" in security, a shot at becoming Attorney General, then drop out at the opportune time. And he did it all on other peoples' (i.e., gullible donors') money.R C Dean | February 4, 2008, 6:17pm | #

Yes, the monorail episode if memory serves.If Edwards was still in the race, he would have used this piece, and the linked IBD editorial, in his campaign mailings.

Threadjack.Please stop using firstadsolution.com for your banner ads Reason. I haven't seen these annoying talking iPod ads that I've heard of but I just got an ad speaking in Hungarian. I can't understand any of it but it did remind that the speakers are turned up with the wifey sleeping lol
Time to go grab a firefox ad blocker.

If its the former, its pretty brilliant.

Were you sent here by the devil?No, good sir, I'm on the level/
I swear it's Springfield's only choice/
Throw up your hands and raise your voice/
(chorus) Monorail! Monorail!
