Rudy Giuliani has recruited many neoconservative foreign policy advisers to his campaign, in fact his foreign policy team is made up mostly of neoconservatives, unlike the other GOP candidates who are distancing themselves from neoconservatives and neoconservative policies. The neoconservative movement seems to be rallying around Giuliani as their candidate.
Do you think the Democrats, Sen. Clinton or whoever, could use this as a major issue against Giuliani, saying after eight years of Bush and the Iraq war, do you want another President so influenced by neoconservatives? Or even a scare tactic, perhaps implying that a President Giuliani could lead to more wars, like Johnson used against Goldwater in 1964.
This issue could be very problematic to Giuliani in a general election campaign, as there is opposition to the war and neoconservative Bush policies it could create a general Democratic trend which could tilt key swing states toward Democrats.
