Giuliani looking more inevitable by libs?

Is Rudy Giuliani following the Clinton-Wonkosphere pattern? Is Rudy becoming the obsession of liberal bloggers in the same way that conservative bloggers love to talk about Hillary? Liberal bloggers have given him 40% of the buzz about Republican candidates over the last two weeks. TPM’s Josh Marshall gives a good sampling of how the Fear Rudy argument is shaping up: “I know I’ve said before that Romney’s profound and almost incalculable phoniness is a terrifying prospect to behold in a possible president. But the danger of phoniness, aesthetic or otherwise, cannot hold a candle to the truly catastrophic foreign policy Giuliani would likely pursue if he got anywhere near the Oval Office. Watching him campaign it’s pretty clear that the guy has no real sense that posturing and pandering to ethnic paranoia in New York City simply isn’t the same as running a national foreign policy. The people he’s coalescing around himself as his foreign policy advisors are the ones who are going to help him learn as he goes. And they are simply the most dangerous, deranged and deluded folks you can find in American political and foreign policy circles today. It’s really not an exaggeration. Scrape the bottom of the “Global War on Terror” Islamofascism nutbasket and you find they’ve pretty much all signed on as Rudy advisors.”
