Is Rudy Giuliani White enough to get the Republican nomination for president?

A lot of people have asked if Barack Obama is black enough to get support from black voters.But I think a much better question is this "Is Rudy Giuliani to ethnic to get the Republican nomination & to be elected president?"Because every president in the history of the United States has been a White man of Northern European descent.And we have only had 1 Catholic president.Rudy Giuliani is a socially liberal Italian-Catholic from New York.Do you think his ethnicity could hurt him with some Rebublican primary voters?Or with American voters in general if he gets the nomination for president?

1. The whole "Republicans are racist" or "ultra-conservative Republicans are racist" argument just doesn't hold water in my experience - it's a stereotype as baseless as those about race. Almost every really far-right person I know voted for Keyes in the '00 primary. I didn't, and I don't consider myself far right. I like Giuliani - he cleaned up Times Square (except for the Naked Cowboy), fought organized crime, and his economics advisor is Steve Forbes, who really should run the country. And if Romney loses the nomination to Giuliani I will vote for Giuliani. And if they both lose the nomination and Richardson somehow wins the Democrat nomination I will probably support Richardson, whom I think is part Latino. I guess that "part" part of it is important - - - in a few generations we'll all be some shade of tan. My kids are part Irish, French, Latvian, Polish, Russian, Jewish and a few other things. THEIR kids will probably represent 15 or 20 ethnicities. We're all Americans, that's what counts.
2. Obama will have to Africa-American vote even if he was purple with pink polka dots (he is a Democrat). Mormon would make a better President.
3. I don't think it is even a factor anyways.. He's not gonna win. Ever see how many firefighters and city employees hate him now? As if all that wouldn't come out at some point before the election.
4. A LOT of southern conservatives DO despise Guiliani for what he is.BUT given the "republican in a dress thing" I dont see how that would hurt him with other Republicans.
5. Interesting question. I think his ethnicity is irrelevant, but his pro-abortion and anti-gun stances will cost him Republican votes.
6. Only a marxist would ask this question and think race/ethnicity is more important than education, experience and skills. I would vote for Satan if it would keep Hillary out of the WH.
7. I think that it would not be a factor in today's America.
8. Yes, Rudy is just White enough to satisfy the most conservative hypocrite in the South. That Giuliani is liberal in his positions well not matter in the political race with Hillary. Republicans will count on their fellows, male or females sex hypocrisy of their base to vote against any woman that would dare run for the title of "Madam President", and even if the white Republican is a female, she well vote Republican because every republican woman is secretly an envious man, and she will do her duty.
9. In any case, he doesn't have a chance and will not get the nomination because he is a joke of a candidate.
