I know I won't get a straight answer, but would you mind explaining what you mean by "carpetbagger" here? Rudy was born in Brooklyn.

Definitions of carpetbagger on the Web:

• the derogatory term for Northerners who came to the South after the Civil War. Some came to do good. Others came to take advantage of the situation after the war. Some used the votes of black voters to get themselves elected, and figured out crooked ways to profit from holding public office. Carpetbaggers and Southern blacks were usually Republicans, and held considerable power in the Southern states in the Reconstruction era.

See I KNEW I wasn't going to get a straight answer.

WHY are you using it on Giuliani? Hell he's probably closer to you politically than just about any other Republican.

What are you talking about? If there is any current, New York politician that deserves this term it is Hillary.

Toasman is just talking out his ass again.

I don't even think he knew what it meant until he went to dictionary.com.

He will get ripped to shreds in the primaries on social issues.

Every candidate has major holes.

Right now he's a Republican who could get my vote, but if he pulls a Mit Romney to pull in the American Talliban he's lost me.

I haven't voted for a presidential winner since 1976.

OK! So. we can throw Hillary and Rudy under the same bus!
But, really, Hillary isn't going into churches in the south to deceive
the poor Evangelicals about who he is! And take their money.
Hmmmmm! That sounds like a classic definition of "carpetbagger".
