Rudolph Guiliani is one of the least qualifed candidates of all. He takes credit for what the police commissioner did in the city.
All he's doing is putting three words together.
"A noun, a verb, and 911."

Guilliani is Bush on steroids.

That's a pretty accurate assessment.
To be fair, Giuliani did hire more police officers in NYC. Of course, Dinkins started to do that at the end of his term, so Giuliani also benefitted from that.
Honestly Giuliani mostly benefitted from being NYC mayor at the right time. He was first elected in '94, as the country was beginning to experience the economic boom during Clinton's presidency. Crime was already decreasing in NYC when he was elected due to the aforementioned Dinkins increase in police officers, though Giuliani continued this (and got all the credit). Then he was mayor on 9/11 and was deemed "heroic". I'm sorry, but as far as I could tell all he did was not wet his pants in public.
Biden is correct. The only words out of Giuliani's mouth are "A noun, a verb, and 911" because that's the only thing Giuliani has going for him. And yet he's the Republican frontrunner. I'm not sure if that says more about the quality of the '08 Republican presidential nominees, or the intelligence of Republican voters.

The real heroes on 911 were the NYC Police Officers and the Firefighters.

That was the best line of the night.
I think Hillary was damaged a little last night, the problem for her main challengers, Obama and Edwards, was that they didn't do it, it was Biden and Dodd, who came off as the most experienced and intelligent, Clinton comes off as an equal and arguably slightly more intelligent experienced than Edwards and particularly Obama.

YES!! I'm voting for Paul in the primaries, but I love Joseph Biden! He is the most sensible democrat running.. I loved his other comment at the last debate when he said "Rudy Giuliani is the most uninformed person in the world"

Yes... I agree with him there. I can't tell you how many times that I am in a airport and Giulliani is on the TV news and they show a few minutes of his campaign speech for that day and he is always saying "9/11... what I did on 9/11... did I tell you about my role in recovering from 9/11!!!!"
And I swear to God people moan when they see that.

Biden Rocks!
Being the mayor of NYC on 09/11/01 does not automatically qualify you to be President.

Rudy wants war with Iran...that is enough of a reason for me not to vote for him. The last thing we need is another ill-advised attack in the Middle East.

Biden is obsessed with Giuliani. He milked the joke. No late night TV for him.
Obama is obsessed with Romney. What's up with that?
Hillary is still obsessed with Bush. Didn't her campaign manager tell her that Bush is not running?
Edwards is obsessed with Hillary. That might piss his wife off a little.
Kucinich is more obsessed with space aliens than illegal aliens. So is Matthews.
Richardson is obsessed with Richardson.
Tim Russert is obsessed with Chris Wallaces ratings and is trying to be as obnoxious but can't pull it off.
The winner? Dodd gets the Nod.

Guilliani is running as a bully so if he wins, we haven't seen anything yet.
