HOWARD KURTZ ON RUDY GIULIANI:

Those who think that the 9/11 hero would be a formidable candidate are forgetting about the 9/10 Rudy. Meaning, this is a guy who is pro-choice on abortion, pro-gay rights and moved in with a gay couple after a messy breakup with his wife that came as he was dating another woman. None of that is likely to sit well with Republican primary voters (although Giuliani would be a strong general-election candidate with appeal to Democrats if he could ever win the GOP nod).

He’s polled very, very well among InstaPundit readers, who probably aren’t typical Republican primary voters. But he’s also polled very, very well among Hugh Hewitt’s readers, who probably are.
