Rooting for Rudy

I don't know whether any mayor has ever been elected president, but Rudy Giuliani, perhaps buoyed by the debut of the first-ever Italian-American Speaker of the House, has set up an exploratory committee for a presidential bid, and is the Republican frontrunner in today's CNN poll. Unlike former presidential hopefuls George "Macacawitz" Allen and Rick "Sanctum" Santorum, Rudy doesn't look like Howdy Doody.

Nevertheless, his campaign's theme song uses the Howdy Doody melody.

It's Giuliani time, it's Giuliani time, it's Giuliani time, it's Giuliani time

So let's all give a cheer, 'cause Giuliani's here

It isn't Bloomberg time, it's Giuliani time
