nutshell analysis: rudy won't make thru the primaries; evanglicals own the process and rudy is way to pro abortion and he knows this.
I have long felt the same way, but I'd offer you one caveat to consider. Suppose W. gets his THREE SC nominations confirmed,a nd all of his appellate court hjudges through as well. The court system is then basically in good hands for the next 20 years, so Rudy can't do damage. Under that scenario, especially if there is no other strong GOP candidate to take on Hillary, the conservative right might be willing to go along with Rudy for President, especially with a strong moral values VP choice..
