So your logic is “you expect conservatives to vote for Rudy Toot if he is the only choice between a Pubbie and a Dem but you don’t think conservatives will vote for a conservative candidate if he’s the only choice between a Pubbie and a Dem?”
That's not what I meant. I just think that if we had a viable conservative candidate we could all rally around, he would get the nomination. The problem is, none of Rudy's competitors are ginning up any excitement. We need a new conservative face - someone who can excite the young generation of voters. These recycled GOP candidates (McCain, Gingrich) just aren't going to do it. I may agree with Duncan on just about everything, but he is sorely lacking in charisma.
