Rudy Giuliani, the man who withheld funds from NY firefighters prior to 9/11 that would have been used to upgrade their radio communication system, who used NY policemen as escorts for his mistress, and who exploited the tragedy of 9/11 to support his political cause, has decided to bow out of the presidential race. He will back Senator John McCain, the friendliest of his rivals.

With McCain winning Florida and gaining Giuliani supporters (which consists of himself, his current wife, and an elderly Jewish couple living in Palm Beach), he's on the fast track for the GOP nomination, with strong support over Mitt Romney in most of the western states.
