...York Senator and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani continue to run at or near the top of Democratic and Republican presidential polls, as they have for months. Hovering over the horizon like a Predator drone, current New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg co-hosted a conference on bipartisan political solutions in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago and changed his party registration to unaffiliated a few days later, fueling persistent speculation (denied, so far, by him) that he might pull a Perot and make a third-party run as a billionaire maverick.

But it's also true that no candidate - not even one as strongly branded in the public mind as Giuliani - entirely controls his public image. Three years ago this summer, John Kerry watched in dismay as his Vietnam record was turned against him by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Something similar could happen, if Giuliani isn't more careful, to Hizzoner's carefully crafted image as the scourge of wrongdoers the world over...
