No, of course not. He has no chance of winning the nomination, and even if he did, he would just quit in the middle of the race anyway because he loves New York too much and doesn’t really want to spend all of his time in Washington.

No. The media would like nothing more than to see a pro-abortion Republican run for president. Because they know he would lose. Conservatives would stay away from the polls in millions.

Absolutely not!

The GOP and conservatives in particular (which are the backbone of the GOP) have not walked away from Social Conservatism one little bit.

They have, however, woken up to the fiscal conservative issues, primarily smaller, limited governance.

This is just the left-wing press, and the left-wing leadership of the GOP and the GOP elites trying to pick our candidate for us again.

Well, now that Obama has repealed DADT is suppose this will no longer be an issue...

But Rudy still has some splainin to do with Bernie Kerik and his Daddy going to Sing Sing and all.

I still LOL when I think about the way Hannity acted like a puppy trying to hump Rudy’s leg during the ‘08 primaries.

If he’d won the GOP nomination in 2008 - RG could have won the election.
I hope he decides to give it another whirl.

I am a Giuliani fan, but this is a long shot in the race, not a dark horse.

There are three people that you could mix and match that would be deadly, Giuliani is not one of them

Rudy is light years better than Romney, Newt, McCain or Huckabee but he is not in my top 5. His chickening out repeatedly for running for the NY Senate is also an issue.

I stopped listening to Hannity because of his dishonorable pant discharge over Rudy.

I LIKE Rudy...he was the best thing for NYC that came along in around 50 years....

....but he is NOT, repeat NOT presidential timber. His methods are facist and anti-individual. NYC at the time needed a facist....and seeing as how the dims had made NYC a cross between Marxism and Facism already, it was no great shakes to have him clean the city in his own inimitable style.

He is not right for America....period. Let him run for either Putzhead Schumers or Gillibrands seat in the Senate...he can only improve the senate in comparison to those two pear-shaped loosers.....

I will not vote for Rudy for president ...period...and I will do what I can to defeat him for that position.

The author of the piece is either being disingenuous, or has absolutely no understanding of the Republican primary.

Day in, day out, flaming pro-abort pro-sodomy Giuliani will get the same 3% outside of the NE and Florida as he did in 2008. Actually, he’ll get less if Gingrich and/or Bolton are in. Both are just as tough on foreign policy, have the credentials, and are smart, without the Giuliani baggage (Gingrich has some) and social liberalism.

Giuiliani may offer more to the country in a security related cabinet position or other similar post.

Hopefully Conservatives and Republicans will be able to keep things in perspective in 2012.

The complaints and misgivings we may have about any of the 2008 candidates, or possible candidates in 2012, pale in comparison with what we have in the White House today.

The shortcomings of the worst republican candidate are miniscule when we look at the ongoing destruction of the nation taking place under Obama and his socialist, racist Czars and cabinet.

Of course we all want the perfect social and fiscal conservative to replace Obama. But isn’t in our best interest to consider compromise rather than face 4 more years of the Obama onslaught against the Constitution and middle America?

Of course it is.

A win by any of the likely republican candidates will be a giant step forward forward for freedom and preservation of the nation.

On the list of our top 100 objectives, the first 99 must be to boot Obama out of the White House. Once that is accomplished we can negotiate the details.

If Giuliani is acceptable to the republicans then it is time to rev up the third party movement.

Yea yea third parties can’t win. But if Giuliani is the candidate we’ve already lost.
