Who's the real flip-flopper?
The final question of the night came from a Bonita Springs man who wondered why the former mayor of New York could drape himself in Yankee pride then root for the Red Sox.
Rudy Giuliani: "I'm an American League fan. I root for the American League team when they get in the World Series. ... As soon as the World Series (was) over, I rooted for the Yankees again. We’re going to beat you next year." Giuliani noted that the Yanks won four series while he was in office. "And since I've left ... the Yankees have won none."
Mitt Romney: "We waited 87 long years and true suffering Red Sox fans that my family and I are, we could not have been more happy than to see the Red Sox win the World Series except by being able to beat the Yankees when they are ahead three games to none. And so I tell you like most Americans, we love our sports teams and we hate the Yankees."
