Even former President Ford seemed to also think so:
WASHINGTON - Jerry Ford wasn't sure Hillary Clinton could be elected President, but he was absolutely certain which Republican had the strongest shot at stopping her: Rudy Giuliani.
"That would be a great contest between Hillary and Rudy," the 92-year-old former President told a reporter in May 2006.
"I think Giuliani is an electrifying guy," he added. "He's a great speaker. He's had a good record of winning in New York City, and he can be tough."

No but a growing movement is towards John McCain as the man to beat the Clinton Machine.
On ABC NEWS This Week with George Stephanopoulas, Rasmussen Polls I believe have him above Rudy. Altough Rudy clearly protests the polls!!

Rudy has the best chance, maybe the only chance, of beating her in New York.
That unlikely outcome, like Gore figuring out how to lose West Virginia for the Democrats, for the first time in that state's entire history, would make a republican victory much more likely.

It's really desperation. Guiliani will lose badly to Clinton if they nominate him. For many reasons - from his personal cheap novel life to when she intellectually mugs him in the debates.
You know who the polls say has the only real chance to beat her? John McCain. As a Hillary supporter, he's the only one who makes me nervous.

Simple; because he handled his 3 wives and some mistresses. so he is believed capable of beating women including Hillary. On the other hand Hillary can't beat men as she could not beat her own erring husband.

HE CANNOT!
I dislike Hillary, but there is NO WAY Rudy could beat her... the GOP is going to have to come up with something better.. Hillary might be polarizing, but Giuliani is hated even by his own children.. he can't even carry his own state against her... let alone the whole country..

Because Rudy Giuliani is a Liberal Republican.
However he cannot beat Hillary Clinton, he has way too many negatives working for him.

That is because being a former prosecutor; Rudy Giuliani is used to dealing with thugs and criminals. After all, he did fearlessly and effectively go after the mob to the point that they almost put a contract on him. Got to admit, the guy has a pair!
The Clinton crime family should be a piece of cake for him.

Because any candidate is guaranteed 45% of the vote, due to party affiliation, but Giuliani is wodely regarded as most appealing to the remaining 10% in the middle who decide elections.

It needs to be a Washington Outsider to beat the Hillary dictatorship.
