I disagree about him being unelectable. I'm Republican and I had no problem voting for him as Mayor and will have no problem voting for him as President.

As for his marital problems. I have learned that NO ONE knows what goes on in a mariage other than the couple no matter waht anyone tries to tell you. I know of MANY situations (my own family included) that from the outside seem to be perhaps unreasonable but from the inside are a completely different story. I do not judge because I have learned from experience not to.

Were I a New Yorker, I should surely have voted for Giuliani for mayor. Nothing better is apt to be available, ever.
New Your is not the USA, it is not even Chicago. Giuliani is eminently electable in New York. I wish he had run for governor there.He is a liberal with one aberration in his approach to crime. In New Your that is the only sort who can possibly be elected mayor. He deals with crime sensibly. That makes him a diamond in a place like New York.Infidelity and divorce are indicators of a sense of loyalty. An unfaithful husband who goes to lengths to hide and does not flaunt his infidelities at least is not really comfortable with disloyalty. He believes in loyalty even as he skirts it. A Giuliani run might be good for Republicans who are hearing that the late election showed that traditional morality was proved inconsequential by the voters. A Giuliani run will show that is not the case.

Wait and see. If the terrorists show their hand again, this could all change.

Keep your chin up, my good man, as well as your powder dry. We have to keep our eyes on the prize and stay optimistic, for that "can do" attitude is what created this greatest of all nations to start with, and will continue to preserve it.

Just imagine how George Washington must have felt at Valley Forge. He never lost faith, nor must we, even when it seems that "the odds are against us and the situtation is grim".

"Hope for the best, prepare for the worst". Mr. Washington said that, too. We could sure use a man like him today. Lacking that, it looks like it's up to us, who still remember what it truly means to be "American".

Stay well,

Joe B.

The reason you lost the last election was because you turned your backs on conservatives.

So...basically you're promising to do the same thing in the next election...and expect different results.

What's the definition of insanity?

Well...whatever it takes...you just couldn't support a conservative instead...so that everyone could come out and vote...

...except maybe you?

You didn't want to hear from us prior to this last election either...so...

You've tried this in every Republican election you've lost.

Care to simply run a conservative yet or are you going to persist in your demands for Mrs. Bill Clinton, President of the United States of America?

He's less unacceptable than John McCain.

History has demonstrated that a liberal Republican candidate cannot generate the votes necessary to win in an election.

Don't vote for who you like in the primaries. Vote for a conservative...or we'll lose the next election the same way we lost this one.

Yes, conservatives like myself plead for conservative candidates to replace RINOs in the primaries.

People like Wombat and bunnyslippers demanded moderates and RINOs for their "electability".

The results are history.

I'm not completely writing Giuliani off. But he will have to persuade me--and soon--that he has had a genuine and lasting conversion to Ronald Reagan conservatism across the board.

I especially want to see an honest, firm, and undeviating commitment to the appointment of SCOTUS justices in the philosophical (not just technical ability) model of a Scalia or an Alito.

For now, I'm hoping for a Romney-Sanford or Romney-Barbour ticket.

Got a better idea - cook for yourself and to Hell with both of 'em. If the 'Pubbies choose either of them for their candidates, they are obviously NOT our party...

I wanted Allen. With that done, I am going for Gingrich. he seems to be the only one with the intelligence to actually unerstand what is going on and convey that message.

Newt would be good presidential material if his private life wasn't even MORE lurid than Bill Clinton's; I used to live in his district - there is a reason he retired. At least Bill and Hill stuck together...

Dunno who the 'Pubbies are going to put up, but they better come up with someone else quick or I'm going to be skipping that line on my ballot.

Like many of us did this election.

Nope. I never skip an election. My Senators and my representave are satisfactory, so far. The Senators were not up for election and my rep (along with my Republican governor) was re-elected handily.
Then again, I'm from Georgia. I think the 'Pubbies actually picked up seats here...

I will, however, skip the presidential line on the ballot if the 'Pubbies decide that a RINOs and / or a whack job should be their candidate.
