The best one word description I can think of for Rudy Giuliani is phoney. And, although the Republican party doesn't have any problem nominated a phoney (and the US electorate doesn't have any problem electing one) I don't think such an obvious phoney twit from New York City has a chance. American doesn't trust a New Yorker and I don't think 9/11 changed that.

So I shorted a contract for a Guiliani Republican nomination at 37. I put in a buy at 25 to settle the position. I don't have the patience to wait until next year for the contract to expire.
