Problem is, guys like Hunter or Thompson have little to chance of winning states like New York, Connecticut, Oregon, Washington, New Jersey, etc.

Who told you that? Reagan won all of those in your list, in 1984.

Guiliani wins all of our solid Red states and makes us quite competitive in more than a few blue states.

If his views on abortion or gun control haven't changed since he was Mayor of NYC, he'll lose in the red states. He wouldn't even win over many Democrat votes in Montana just on those two issues. Especially in my county. Montana has it's share of Hollyweird leftists, but thankfully none of them live where I do.

1984 was 23 years ago. A lot has changed since then. Plus, Guiliani is no Reagan.

If his views on abortion or gun control haven't changed since he was Mayor of NYC, he'll lose in the red states.

Not if his opponent is Hillary or Obama.
