That caveat is told to every investor when considering a mutual fund or some other investment strategy. It is, in a way, self-evident. But is also implies this -- there are other ways to skin a cat.
That's what Rudy's doing. He exploring a new way. In that regard, he's trail-blazing. And I say, Good for him.
As long as that trail goes to Mars...I like it.
Why would any conservative be rooting for a “pro-choice, antigun New Yorker (ie, liberal)?”
A variation on the simplest of strategies, used even by simple beasts: Lick the hand that feeds you and avoid the one that beats you.
Campaigning for the presidency as an open, flaming liberal scarcely qualifies as "a new way," really.
Hillary made an unqualified bar bouncer, security head
in the WH.
Rudy made his unqualified driver, police chief and
pimped him as homeland security chief.
Not much difference between the two!
Of course, Rudy has also worked to change the rules in his favor.
1) Changing the allocation of electors, distributing them equally to congressional districts making Democrat districts with few Republicans equal to major Republican strongholds.
and 2) Moving the election up from June to February.
In effect, he is letting the liberal districts gain power and minimizing Republicans. Nothing like stabbing the electorate in the back. He’s following in Arnold’s footsteps in his “trailblazing,” hardly something to celebrate.
Whatever I think of Giuliani and his attempt to “empower” liberal and moderate Republicans, it’s about time we spread the power to nominate beyond two or three little states which, if the polls are to be believed, certainly aren’t doing the conservatives any favors this time around.
gee it seem his strategy was just get money to huckabee as vote splitter.
Giuliani’s strategy is not to get the most votes, Giuliani’s strategy is to split the non-giuliani votes as much as possible.
Rudy can manipulate all he likes to get the nomination.
Only problem he has is that he cannot force voters to the polls to vote for him on election day....well, at least not yet. But I am sure he is the type that might look to finding a way to do that.
