Rudy Doesn't Buy Groceries

The other day I read an article about Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani campaining in Alabama. He was doing fine until a reporter asked him if he knew what the price of bread and milk were at a gorcery store. "A gallon of milk is probably about a $1.50, a loaf of bread about a $1.25, $1.30," he said. However, at the grocery store near his house, a loaf of bread is about $3 while a gallon of milk is around 4. This doesn't look good for Rudy. People like a candidate who is in touch with the citizens. If a presidential hopeful doesn't even know mundane facts like how much bread and milk cost, it just looks like he's out of touch with the public. People think that politicians are all power hungry and money driven to the extent where they have lost their focus on why they are running for an office. He'll look like one of those people who have their maids buy their groceries. However, a politician's main focus is to go around and raise money for himself, especially during this time. Then again, you can't give Rudy a hard time. He WAS the mayor of New York during the 9/11 crisis who showed a great amount of courage.
