Bernie Kerik and Rudy Giuliani"The indictment of former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik on a long list of federal charges Friday could turn into a huge weapon for Republican presidential contenders trying to topple frontrunning candidate Rudy Giuliani.
Kerik is much more than just a former associate of Giuliani. He rose from being the former New York mayor's driver to become head of the city's corrections department, then assumed the prestigious post of top cop in America's largest city.
Giuliani so far has maintained a strong lead in the polls despite talk of his two divorces and moderate positions on gun control and abortion. But now he faces a new reality: a close friend and business partner potentially facing prison time for a litany of federal offenses.
For Giuliani, Friday's indictments raise the specter of constant reminders of an unsavory association that could haunt him for the remainder of the campaign."
