Giuliani Challenges Clinton

In a new ad released to FoxNews, Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani recaps Hillary Clinton's shifting positions on Iraq and charges her to condemn the MoveOn.org ad belittling Gen. Petraeus. Though Sen. Clinton has said little on these events, other than calling Gen. Petraeus a liar, perhaps this will spring her to action.

Will she openly condemn the ad? I doubt it. We are more likely to see her go the other way. But another, and possibly more achievable goal has been achieved with this ad....the gloves are off. They are both party front runners and both from New York, or at least representing New York. (Hillary is about as much of a New Yorker as I am!) Sen. Clinton will either stay silent until she concocts the a reasonably liberal retort, or she will lash out at Giuliani. So we shall wait on the edge of our seats to see how gracefully Hillary will absorb this blow, but I sure wouldn't mind seeing her implode.
