That’s it — if Giuliani endorses Rubio, that should be the kiss of death for Rubio, that taints Rubio, all conservatives should stay home and not vote in either the primary or the November election.

(/SARC!!)

Rudy might be big in helping transplanted New Yorkers (there are MANY here in Florida) vote for Marco.

But in my book, Rudy ain’t that big.

“Rudy would have fared MUCH better against Obama than McLame.

And he would have been a much better president. At least he loves our country.”

I totally disagree. Rudy is a huge liberal, and because he had the R behind his name would not only have gotten libs behind his policy agendas, but Republicans who felt obligated to support him because of his position as “head of the party.” A Giuliani presidency would have been, probably, even more horrid than Obama’s has been because he would have the bipartisan support for liberal policies that Obama has lacked.

Rudy ran a bad primary. Betting it all on FL was a mistake.

But the primary and the general are very different things. Rudy might have beaten Obama by carrying FL and PA.

The PaulBots and their unwitting tools are psychotic.

Thread, Good Friday - McCain did it.

Thread, Russia and Iran arming Venezuela - at least they arn’t arming McCain.

Thread, Floods in New England - McCain did it.

Large number of FReepers are tools of the NeoLeftist Ron Paul and his anti war posters.

I just amazing every time stuff like this comes up somehow Sarah has to be interjected into the conversation.

Lets not for get Crist dump on Sarah not to long ago. It out of respect for the RGA Sarah has stayed out of this race so far. Sarah has said only nice thing about Rubio.

Why is this supposed to make me feel better about Rubio? It only makes me suspect that Rubio is selling out to the RINO RNC!

How can you explain the liberal policies Rudy advocated and still hasn’t apologized for?

Nice try.
This thread happens to be about Charlie Crist, turning round and backing McCain, after first of all promising to back Giuliani, and Gulliani now paying Crist back in kind. It's got everything to do with McCain.
McCain deserves whatever he's getting.

Tell me something, if you are running for elections, and someone comes round to support you, you are going to refuse the backing because you don't agree with that person on everything?
So going by your theory, all them red state Democrats who backed Reagan, so he was able to win a missive 49 states..Reagan should have rejected their support because they are Democrats, yes?
Rubio is not turning round and supporting abortion or any of Guliani’s more liberal positions. He is just taking an endorsement from a guy that wants to have his revenge on Crist for stabbing him in the back.

Rudy Giuliani would have had a hard time winning more than a half-dozen states in 2008.

Even many "dark red" rural states would have a hard time supporting a short, bald Italian-American from New York City who speaks with a lisp and had a very liberal track record in the only elected position he ever held.

So these dark red states would have gone for Obama then? Doubt it.

I think Rudy would have still lost VA, IN and NC, but he would have picked up FL and PA, and possibly competed in states like NJ, NY and MA.

The point is, he would have actually tried to give people something to vote for. As it was, McCain didn’t try, and Sarah as the VP candidate was not enough to put them over the top.

Not saying that Obama wouldn’t have still won, but I think it would have been more competetive.

The money socks. He’s done enough for NY city. We need combative Republicans that don’t over think things, that aren’t corporate suits, cheese weasel lawyer types, and pleas, no more Harvard or Yale.
