The million-dollar question, then, is this: does the Catholic laity care what its bishops say? "Catholic voters are not monolithic," answers Frank Fahrenkopf, who is Catholic and led the Republican National Committee from 1983 to 1989. "Some bishops are going to urge from the pulpit that they shouldn't vote for someone, but I don't think that's the way voters make decisions. We're all good Catholics and we love our bishops, but I don't think [denying communion] is the approach to take." So much for a show of unity.

Comment: Guilliani has a very rigid mind and power hungry mentality. He laughed at the thought of terrorist flying planes into the trade center; he never saw it coming. We need a President that can anticipate threats and derail them before they become a reality. A big part of that is managing relations in the middle east, eastere europe, China and Africa. Africa really needs attention. If their problems are not dealt with the world will pay a high price. Can Guilliani make head way in Africa, I don't think so. In eastern Europe I don't think so. In the middleast? You have got to be kidding me. I think he would make a good domestic President. To his credit he was a good mayor, but the means he took to achieve his goals were ruthless. I think Guiliani has a rigid mind and does not care if people have to suffer. His approach in New York was not tough, it was cruel. I think Guilaini should manage the treasury department. Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama are the only two candidates that won't forget about you and I and what is best for you and I. As mentioned Guilliani has a rigid mind and will only serve the intersest of his personal networks; Orthodox Jews are great financial supporters of Guiliani, I just cannnot envision Guilliani bringing peace to the Middle East and improving the lives of all not just those who are "worhty".
