Giuliani: Palin’s Got ‘A Hell Of A Lot More Qualifications’ Than Obama Did

Fmr. New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) and Fmr. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (R)

Rudy Giuliani thinks Sarah Palin should run for President in 2012: “She’s got a hell of a lot more qualifications than Barack Obama had when he ran for President.”

“Let her run,” he said on The View today. “If she’s as bad as you think, she’ll lose. If she can really make her case, she will win.”

According to GOP 12, “a stream of boos descended, including mock ones by Rudy himself. Joy Behar objected.”
