It's possible he'll sizzle out like Howard Dean did once more people understand that he is a democrat in republican clothing. But, if he does make it to the general election, expect to get this letter below from Hillary Rodman.

Dear RINO Rudy Supporters,

I want to thank you for your wonderful support in helping me to get elected POTUS. Bill and I are so thrilled to be back in the White House again. Your active support for Rudy, and getting him nominated, was the key to me winning. Without your help Bill and I would not be here today.

Affectionately Yours,

President Hillary Rodman

P.S. I plan to nominate Rudy to the Supreme Court as soon as there is a vacancy. He will help us tilt the court back in our favor to assure that millions more unborn babies will never see the light of day. After all, it's every woman's right!

P.S.S. As you recall, my campaign slogan was, "We're Going to Take Things Away From You on Behalf of the Common Good" ALL YOUR POSSESIONS BELONG TO ME---YEEHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Rudy--------------------Hillary!

Anti-Gun----------------Anti-Gun
Pro-Abortion------------Pro-Abortion
Clinton Policy----------Clinton Policy
Gay-Loving--------------Gay-Loving
Looks awful in a dress---Ditto

I could go on but the Rudy-Lickers will continue to abandon the constitution and stab the unborn in the back no matter what. I guess they love a man in drag.

If he gets the nomination I'm staying home for the first time ever or voting libertarian for the first time ever.

It won't make a nickel's worth of difference who wins.

A lot of moderate Republicans look on religious voters - evangelicals and Catholics like the crazy aunt best locked up in the basement. But the truth is the GOP can't win without them.

The question before the house is, can the GOP win with them when the choice is not George Bush v. John Kerry?

Everything hangs on the answer to that question.

The writer overestimates the number of conservatives who will stay home and severely underestimates the number of independents and moderates who will vote for Rudy.

I agree.

Good, stay home like you did last time. You'll have so many more millions of abortions under Hilary, Obama or any other democrat your head will spin. Liberal left wing democrat Congress, President AND Supreme Court.

So stay home and watch the fetuses pile up dead, and you can be so happy you kept the republicans out of power. I get so sick of this nonsense. And the democrats will dismantle the military and CIA, aid our enemies and abandon our allies. But make sure you stay home.

I voted a straight Republican ticket last time.

And that is the last time. 30 years of blind loyalty are enough, especially if the party runs Rudy.

He can win a popularity contest

Well, IMHO, that's pretty much what American politics has become. How else can Hitlery be the leading democrat, because of all the laws shes passed? I can't think of one thing shes done while senator.

Most people are to damn lazy to do the work it takes to really see what each candidate stands for. They would rather sit back & let Katie Couric tell them how to feel. Again, just my opinion.

"I think Rudy takes NY, all or most of the south, maybe CA, and wins it all."

LOL!

Oh, yes. The South has a long history of voting in lockstep with New York. (/s)

Very well said, the republican establishment and their cronies will try to tell us that the only important thing is to beat hillery. Then try to scare us into believing that we have to pander to the left in order to win and in so doing electing somebody who is just as bad as her.
Duncan Hunter, Ron Paul, Tom Tancredo(sp?), Fred Thompson, and Newt are our best hopes for a candidate that will fire up the conservative base and win a general election.
I just cant see supporting a candidate that has demonstrated that he is pro-gay, pro-abort, anti-gun dresses in drag and has fooled around on not one but 2 wives and done so blatantly with no regard for the institution of marriage or to the office that he was elected to. If he did winhe would be a Republican Bill Clinton just waiting to happen.
We lost the last election because we didn't come out strong on borders and illegal immigration, but we still had the traditional values voters and pro life and pro 2nd amendment people on our side and just barley lost in a lot of places because our base wasn't motivated. So what so now the establishment people are trying to give us some one who says he is strong on borders and the WOT, well whoopee! He is essentially a hillery with different genitals and has said as much himself, so we will pick him and lose all the pro lifers, 2nd amendment and values voters will stay home and we will lose by a huge margin and leave the democrats in complete power.

True, but the conservative candidate most would support is un-electable.

It's far better to support an un-electable conservative than an un-electable liberal.

Rudy is a hero of 9-11 and cleaning up New York. I don't agree with his liberal side either, but he has promised to appoint Conservative judges. That is what matters. The democrats will appoint 9 Ruth Bader Ginzbergs. This is reality.

"syllogism" a crafty argument. Rudy wins because he will be the anti beast. He will be the candidate who wants to fight the WOT and she will be the candidate who wants to surrender. By Nov 08 that will be very clear.

You're dreaming. Rudy looses the South...big time. He'd have a shot in VA and FL, but that's it.

From the article...If the party again removes the Evangelicals who stayed home in 2000, PLUS some of the other social conservatives, some of the Second Amendment voters, and some of the defend the borders voters, there is no way one can come up with a GOP win in 2008.

That's absolutely correct. And if you don't think Christian Conservatives will stay home rather than vote for a liberal just ask George H.W. Bush what he liked best about his second term.

The South will prevent Rudy from getting anywhere near the general election, I hope.

1. The south will not vote for Hillary or Obama.
2. With all that supposed evangelical help, Bush barely squeeked by in 04.

The middle will more than make up for the evangelicals who sit on their hands at home waiting for the perfect candidate.

a candidate that will fire up the conservative base and win a general election

That's the Rove theory.

I think he's dead wrong. I think that, except for the unrepeatable particular circumstance of November 2004, that a fired-up conservative base loses 9 times out of 10.

The "fired up base" around here thinks they are 65% of the population when they are 30% at most, and they show no concept of how to get the 21% of non-fired up, non-base voters they need to win.
