I suggest that Republicans nominate who ever wins the Democrat nomination. Then our candidate is sure to make it to the White House. /sarcasm

Seriously this post has a major flaw in it when it suggests that Giulliani’s candidacy is on a par with Spector’s. Spector was a sitting senator in a liberal state. It was truly the case that he was the only viable candidate in the race.

Neither of these things is true WRT Giulliani. He is running for an open seat, and he is not the only viable candidate running in the Republican primaries. In fact he isn’t even close to the most winnable.

In fact when compared with McCain, Romney, and Thompson, Giulliani is the most likely to lose against the likes of the three top Dems simply because so many conservatives will stay home on election night, or vote 3rd party. Giulliani IMO will not win a majority of Republican votes in the Primary, and may not be able to win a plurality if two or three conservatives pull out of the race before the primaries.

Don't forget the loss of votes for OTHER conservatives running for other offices--if the conservative base is replaced by all those independents and liberals that the JulieAnnie apologists keep promsing will take our place.

JulieAnnie would be a disaster for the entire Party.
