I'm trying to think through the pros and cons of the serious candidates in the Republican presidential field. They each seem to me to have strenghts and weaknesses in proportions that preclude any one of them from being the obvious choice in terms of electoral appeal or adherence to conservative principle. It is therefore helpful to have thoughtful essays such as Steven Malanga's new City Journal article presenting the case for Giuliani: "Yes, Rudy Giuliani is a conservative (and an electable one, at that)."
