I watched the polls for the last 6 months. In spite of Obamas drop in popularity he beats most Republicans. One that seems to be competitive among currently declared candidates is Romney. He is between 4-3% either ahead or behind Obama. The only candidate, who is consistently beating Obama is Giulliani. He beats Obama by 7-9%.
I know, that Giulliani is not perfect and nobody is, but the main goal is to replace Obama, and Giullianni seems to be liked by the independents, who will decide in 2012. I think its time for the Republican establishment to start courting Giulliani . I listened to his speech at Cornell university during my sons graduation. He mentioned South Carolina primary. He is definitely considering another run.
Giulliani is the person, who I believe, can carry Florida, particularly with former mayor of NY, Ed Koch, actively campaigning against Obama among NY expatriates in the leisure world of FL.
Giullianni with Cain as his running mate with active support from FL senator Rubio might carry FL and other swing states.
Just a thought

The always totally clueless Orly once again has things wrong. Koch just came out and endorsed Obama. Maybe Orly can sue him for making her look like a complete loon.
