You suck, Rudy
Giuliani seeks votes in Alabama
He isn't really. The original version of this story, I believe, had the headline that he was seeking "votes, money", and considering Alabama's status as the safest of safe GOP states in presidential campaigns, and its primary date in the shadow of the big states, he's mostly after the latter.
Giuliani was asked the price of milk question and was off by a factor of 200. Way off. He thinks a gallon costs about a $1.50. When was the last time he went shopping?

I'm not voting for him (I don't trust him with THAT much executive power), but does knowing the price of milk really matter? I drink a gallon and a half of the stuff a week, and I couldn't tell you what it costs. It's something I need, it goes in the cart, I don't look at the price. I think it's around $4.
I know it's "the common man" thing, but what presidential candidate is really in touch with the common man? By definition, if you have a chance to win the Presidency, you're uncommon.
It's just that it hasn't been $1.50 for a loooong time. I can't remember when it was. It certainly wasn't when I was in college in the early nineties, which is the first time I shopped for myself.
Also, it's a standard question. Everyone gets it sooner or later, and they should be ready for it.
When was the last time a "common" man became president? Truman? Grant?
Not factor of 200; 200% off. A factor of 200 error would mean the real price of milk = 200*1.50 or $300. He was really off by a factor of 2. But good point.
