Bad News for Rudy

Today's Washington Post has a front page story headlined Ex-Partner Of Giuliani May Face Charges

Federal prosecutors have told Bernard B. Kerik, whose nomination as homeland security secretary in 2004 ended in scandal, that he is likely to be charged with several felonies, including tax evasion and conspiracy to commit wiretapping.

This is on the back of Friday's New York Times story that Giuliani was briefed on Kerik in 2000.

These are the exact kind of landmines the Giuliani campaign is going to have to successfully navigate if they hope to win the GOP nomination.

At the end of the day it is these type of "problems" that I suspect will be more problematic for Giuliani than his much talked about positions on hot-button social issues.
