RUDY'S 'ARMY'

August 24, 2007 -- Military veterans are ready to salute Rudy Giuliani as their next commander-in-chief - but treat Hillary Rodham Clinton like a private.

Giuliani is the most popular presidential candidate among vets and Clinton is the most unpopular, according to a Gallup poll released yesterday.

*********************

While popular among all vets, Giuliani faces a tough battle for the military vote in a Republican primary. He gets 28 percent of the vote, compared to 25 percent for unannounced candidate Fred Thompson.

I guess if Rudy gets the nomination a lot of these vets will be voting for Hillary.

It’s easy to see why they would be for him: he has guts and brains, he don’t take crap from reporters, he loves America but wasn’t afraid to marry a woman who truly loves him no matter the political cost.....he has Balls, that’s why they like him.....we don’t need no wimps or ex president’s wives in the White House

I can even see a ticket with BOTH of them on it. How would the social conservaties react to that? Could they vote for a Thompson/Rudy ticket? A Rudy/Thompson ticket? I contend they are BOTH the future of the GOP

If Rudy gets the nomination, he will probably choose Fred Thompson as a running mate to amp up the conservative base. We agree 100% on that. If Thompson gets the nomination- It would be in his best interest to choose Rudy as a running mate because of his national exposure... and lets face it.. most americans with some common sense would vote for a Rudy/Thompson or a Thompson/Rudy ticket anyday over a Hillary/______ ticket.

Agreed. That's why I'm voting for him too. This country needs Fred Thompson in the White House.

Nope, we'll be voting third party or doing a write-in. Hillary is just as bad as Rudy. There isn't a whole of of differences there other than Rudy looks better in a dress than Hillary does.
