You would think that some people around here didn't learn ANYTHING from the last election.

When Pubbies behave like Dims, the voters choose the Real Thing rather than the pretender.

Let's examine the record for the last 30 years, shall we?

1976 - Moderate Pubbie vs. Democrat. Pubbie loses.
1980 - Conservative Pubbie vs. Democrat. Pubbie wins.
1984 - Ditto
1988 - Moderate Pubbie ( hand-picked replacement for previous conservative Pubbie) vs. Democrat. Pubbie wins.
1992 - Moderate Pubbie vs. Democrat. Pubbie loses.
1996 - Moderate Pubbie vs. Democrat. Pubbie loses.
2000 - Conservative Pubbie vs. Democrat. Pubbie wins.
2004 - Conservative Pubbie vs. Democrat. Pubbie wins.

Run Lefty Rudy against Hillary and Hillary will walk away with the election.

Why not run a real conservative? Reagan showed how it's done.

I agree with you. I hope some dark horse candidate will emerge. We will lose with both McCain and with Rudy.
