Giuliani was just too damn nice. That's why he couldn't get people to vote for him and spent $40 million on one delegate. So says Charles Hill of Yale, Iraq warmonger and well-known neo-con and Rudy's chief foreign policy advisor in an interview in the Yale Daily News:
One of Giuliani’s problems, Hill said, was that he ran such a clean, positive campaign.“He refused to be negative,” remarked the Studies in Grand Strategy professor.
Hill reserved his harshest criticism for the Times — “a never-ceasing slander machine,” he called it — but he admitted the paper succeeded where the Giuliani campaign did not.
“The communications strategy of the Times was far better than ours,” he said.
He criticized the paper for running what he described as stock feature stories looking back at and “denouncing” the mayor’s past — and using them in such a way that they seemed like news, even though Hill said they had no relevance to the current moment.
