They will use the fact that he's a Jew to mess with us even more. Will his allegiance be to the Jewish faith or to the United States? Which will he put first? Can't be both...I am sure he would make a good leader, but at what cost to the American people? Other nations will excuse his decisions as pandering to the jewish lobby or to Israel. He would have to keep a GREAT distance from the Jewish Lobby and Israel in order to come across as fair and balanced.

The Democrats are apparently going to give us another ridiculous "centrist" candidate like Clinton or Obama. As for the "will they vote for a Jew" question - welll if the Republicans select Giuliani, I bet the right wing extremists will bail on them anyway so its not out of the question. I mean, Giuliani support gay rights, he's Italian (just about as untrustworthy to the racists), etc. And anyway the Republicans are about as popular as a skunk at a wedding at this point, its hard to see how the country puts another Republican in after the ongoing fiasco known as the Bush administration. Its going to be a Democrat unless theres a credible 3rd party / independent candidate. So, you're really looking at whether people would prefer a sane Jew or a war-loving, weaselly woman (Clinton) or black (Obama). Of course this assumes Gore doesn't jump into the Democratic nomination race (Edwards doesn't seem to have much of a chance). $1 Billion basically puts Bloomberg into contention. Perot was stark raving mad and even HE was #1 in the polls until he started weirding out.

Even if there's a correlation, your suggestion seems, well, bigoted. (Geez, a trailer is the best some people can do.) Why equate NASCAR and trailer parks with racism?
