It may be the Democrat's worst nightmare, but it's no treat for conservatives either. The Democrats would be perfectly happy with the policies that come out of a Giuliani - McCain ticket. The only thing that would upset them is they would no longer be in control.

[AbeKrieger]

Granted, it's better than any hypothetical Democrat ticket, but Republicans can do so much better. Does the GOP really think this is the only way it can win?

[Brilliant]

I'm not sure I'd say it's the conservatives' worst nightmare, but it's close.

[don-o]

Gallagher is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[saganite]

Won't ever happen. Neither ego will fit in the VP office.

[David Isaac]

Gallagher, I hardly knew ye.

Though I did like you once.

RINOs no, conservatives si (in case Bush may be lurking)

[airborne]

A RINO and a PSYCHO!

[tiger-one]

"The only thing that would upset them is they would no longer be in control."

We would also have to have the majority in both houses to be in control. Having Giuliani-McCain and as Pres & VP would be a RINO and unstable RHINO head of our country.

Democratic Party's Worst Nightmare

One on hand, hard core liberals enter the White House, on the other hand....Um, well, nevermind.

Oh yeah, they're terribly upset. It's a left wing Win/Win.

[cvq3842]

Well said!

It sounds more like conservative's nightmare, I think. I like Rudy, but I expect him to have a more conservative on VP ticket... somebody who is seen as a 'credible' conservative and doesn't have a history with most conservatives. McCain doesn't fit that category. (Nor Rudy, I'm aware... that's why the combination of Rudy-McCain is a nightmare).

Giuliani-McCain Ticket: Democratic Party's Worst Nightmare

The conservative's worst nightmare I think. These two march in lockstep with extreme left wing of the Democratic party on 95% of the issues, so why should Democrats care if they get in other than the plunder will go to people with and R rather than a D

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

I like a Giuliani-Hunter ticket.

[MadIvan]

It would be a stupid ticket. The VP slot should be used to boost young talent; Michael Steele would do well.

Regards, Ivan

[demkicker]

I do believe Mike Gallager has gone over to the dark side. He'll write and say anything for attention.

Earth to Mike: You've become irrelevant and damn sure don't speak for conservatives anymore.

"No treat for conservatives either". I guess the concerns over social issues is the big question, but what about: Tenacious fighter in the war on terror and national defense? Cut tax rates in NYC 23 times and reversed a huge deficit and left office with a surplus? What about attacking NYC's welfare roles and removing hundreds of thousands while reinvigorating the city economy like crazy? What about attacking crime like no mayor in history, making NYC the safest big city in the world? What about throwing Arafat out of a Lincoln Center UN event ("we don't permit terrorists to part of this event")? What about the obvious superior leadership in the aftermath of 9-11? What about his stated intention of appointing strict constructionists to the bench? What about having an articulate leader who can give a press conference at a moment's notice and wow the attendees?

Yeah, I guess: no treat for conservatives either.

[Always Right]

McCain has way tooooo much ego to take the #2 spot. I doubt if McCain plays good soldier this time either. I think there is a good chance that the loser runs third-party, especially if it is McCain. McCain is under the impression that he has put in his time and its his nomination.

Giuliani-McCain Ticket: Democratic Party's Worst Nightmare

You misspelled "Republican."

[joseph20]

Why should we vote for who we think would win?

We should vote for who we think is RIGHT.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

This seems like a Gallagher piece.

[SIDENET]

No RINOs.
