thats why i see Rudy as a VP candidate to "balance" the ticket. I like Rudy a lot despite some of his issue flaws
I like Rudy a lot also - except for that one issue, which is a make or break one for me. If one can't respect the most basic of rights of the people, then you have no business wielding enormous power over them.
As for him being the Veep nominee, I could see it. It would be a very practical choice (he's well-liked across the board, there would undoubtedly be geographical balance, and he could bring NY to the Pubbies). Also, the nominee will choose whomever he (or she) pleases, without regard to the primaries, so Rudy would actually have a shot at it. If so, and if elected, I'd pray even harder for the continued good health of whomever was the Prez; that, and for a rock-solid conservative Congressional leadership that wouldn't tolerate any anti-gun legislation.
