McCain Plays Third Party, Swift Boat Cards Against Rudy

John McCain has a new quiz show-style game up on his Web site. It's very nicely produced.
It also makes news, showing how McCain is sharpening his attacks against Rudy Giuliani.
A user who answers "Rudy Giuliani" on question 7 of the game -- "Which candidate is the best general election candidate the Republican Party could nominate?" gets this answer.
The nomination of Rudy Giuliani would likely lead to the formation of a third party made up of social conservatives. He would also likely get "swift boated" by fireman (sic), police officers, and even victims of 9-11 who are upset with his performance. According to recent polls by Survey USA, Rudy Giuliani loses swing states such as Ohio, Kentucky and Washington against Senator Clinton and even loses Virginia -- a state that has not voted Democrat since 1972. Rudy Giuliani changes the electoral map in a way that makes it very difficult for the GOP nominee to win. The correct answer was John McCain. This is the first time that I am aware of that a Republican candidate has hyped the idea of a third party in the event of a Giuliani nomination.
McCain also lends legitimacy to the "swift boat"-style campaign against Giuliani being spearheaded by liberal unions and 9/11 Truthers.
Here's a screenshot:
Wow. This is getting ugly.
