Vilsack attacks Giuliani

Tom Vilsack, the former Iowa governor, attacked Rudy Giuliani's past personal life in a television interview with a New York Television station. From a fellow Penn blog, The Appletonian:

When asked about Rudy being the Republican nominee in an interview with a New York TV station, he said the following: "I can't even get into the number of marriages...and the relationship that he has with his children." Vilsack went on to say that Rudy has "a very interesting past."

I think it is great that Democrats are going after Rudy Guiliani's personal life. The conservative attack machine will trash whichever Democratic presidential nominee that is chosen and delve into their past personal life. So, they might as well make the same point about Rudy and other Republicans for that matter.

Because we are still in the primary season, this partisan attack appeals to the Democratic activist base and at the same time makes it harder for Rudy to gain the support of social conservatives that he will need to get the nomination.

I say, good for Vilsack and hope there's more where that comes from. It's time Democrats respond to the constant attacks from the right.
