Giuliani: 'Leave my Family Alone'

The bully Giuliani from his Mayoral days is reappearing. Should this man be President of the United States? As for leaving alone. From the looks of it, your family is leaving you alone:

Republican Rudy Giuliani said Thursday that people should "leave my family alone" when asked by a New Hampshire woman why the presidential candidate should expect loyalty from voters when he doesn't get it from his children.

Giuliani has a daughter who has indicated support for Democrat Barack Obama and a son who said he didn't speak to his father for some time. His ugly divorce from their mother, Donna Hanover, was waged publicly while Giuliani was mayor of New York. Giuliani has since remarried.

Giuliani's testiness could be attributed to Romney's breathing down his neck in recent polls following his victory in the Iowa straw poll:

Giuliani, who also leads in national polls of Republican voters, is backed by 35 percent of likely GOP primary voters in California, giving him an early edge six months before the state's earlier-than-usual Feb. 5 presidential primary.

But two challengers - former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson - have made major gains. Romney has doubled his support since a Field Poll in March, jumping from 7 to 14 percent support among likely GOP voters.

Then there is bad news about the first two primaries (I realize Iowa is technically not a primary). Romney is ahead not only in Iowa but New Hampshire. Giuliani's large 15 point lead over Romney before the straw poll has been cut in half to 8 points.

You can understand why he would be so cranky...again.
