If Rudy becomes the nominee, then Hillary will start acting like a "meanie" and Rudy will quit like he did last time (in 2000). So the VP nominee needs to be able to carry the ticket alone.
Mark Sanford
Either Rudy or Fred would be a vast improvement over our current Pretender-in-Chief, whose continuing weakness and fragility in office I find more frightening by the day. If he doesn't want to be President, I wish he would just turn it over to Cheney, who is more than up for the job.
He should just choose the loser of Hillary/Obama & be done with it. He would rather run as a democrat anyways.

Transcript of video below.
Will the real Rudy show up at CPAC?
Culture of life:
ABC clip:
George Will: "Do you think Roe v Wade was good constitutional law?"
Rudy Giuliani: "Yes I believe, I believe it is."
Cnn Clip December 2, 1999:
Announcer: "Giuliani was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial birth abortions, something Bush strongly supports."
Rudy Giuliani : "No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing."
Immigration
CNN clip:
Announcer: "Back in 1996, mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants."
Rudy Giuliani: "There isn't a mayor or a public official in this country that's more strongly pro immigrant than I am. Including disagreeing with President Clinton when he signed an anti-immigration legislation about two or three years ago."
Gun control:
CNN clip
Rudy Giuliani: "I'm in favor of gun control"
Meet The Press:
Tim Russert: "How about registration of all handguns?"
Rudy Giuliani: "You know I'm in favor of that. I've been on your show many times."
Gay Rights:
CNN Clip:
Announcer: "As mayor he supported civil unions, and extending health and other benefits to gay couples."
ABC Clip: "I supported domestic partnership legislation and signed it"
Meet The Press:
Tim Russert: "So should gay people be openly allowed to serve?"
Rudy Giuliani: "I think people should be judged on the merits. And there should not be a specific focus on someone's sexual orientation."
First Amendment:
ABC Clip
Cokie Roberts: "Would you vote in the senate in favor of Mccain / Feingold?"
Rudy Giuliani: "Yes, I'm a big supporter of Mccain / Feingold. I have been for a long time."
Party Loyalty:
ABC Clip:
Rudy Giuliani: "Frankly George, I'd like to run on all the lines. I'd like to run on the liberal line, the conservative line, I'd like to run on the democratic line if I could figure out how to do it."
Conservative Values:
Meet The Press:
Tim Russert: "Whether it's gays in the military, gun control, campaign finance, late term abortion - you and Hillary Clinton are in sync on those issues."
Rudy Giuliani: "Well then maybe the other side should stop the 'He's part of the vast right wing conspiracy'."
Welcome To CPAC, Rudy!
End clip.

If RG wins the nomination, we ALL lose. Doesn't matter who he would choose for VP.
Unless, of course, he would choose Darcell! :o)
Jim Jeffords would be ideal. He perfectly embodies all of the values of Rudy and his Rudybots.
I like Haley Barbour.
I think the current mayor of Noo York, Bloomberg, would be an excellent choice. He is just as conservative as Rudy-toot.
Shamelessly bumping my tagline..
Woooohaaaaa
Hold up there.....its a long time away and a lot could happen....this whole discussion is premature and entirely too speculative.
