It's a great day to be a Republican!!!!
So far no potential Prez candidate can approach Rudy's calm ease when talking to Americans through the media. It just exudes leadership and competence, which becomes a huge advantage. It's a great natural and relaxed kitchen table style, rather than political infomercial or strained. I'm a social conservative, but believe that Stevens will step down before 2008, with a replacement that will pretty much solidifying that social issues are decided by the public vote rather than a few robes. Take the judicial issues off the table and opposition to him declines significantly. Yeah he's a secular(so is more than half the population) but the nation is confronted by far more than social issues. With him as Prez social conservatives would still have more control and effectiveness than with a Dem, without a doubt.
And frankly FR isn't very representative of middle America or the south in regards to the vitriole thrown at Giuliani, it approaches ridiculous at times. He might not win SC and it make take until after Super Tuesday, but I am certain that if he runs he wins the nomination. Would be great if a Pawlenty or Pence would win and Rudy be the VP, but I just don't see it happening. And while much could change, right now Rudy appears to be the only one who would be a slam dunk to win the general election.
Haley Barbour is slapping Alan Colmes all over Fox!
"Yep. Nice way to cap a beautiful day... Alito confirmed. Libs imploding. Cindy arrested. Dems making fools of themselves. Prez playing with them as a cat to a mouse... Best SOU I think he's ever given, probably because he was so comfortable tonight"
What a great synopsis of the day! LOL!
I can't say for sure, but I believe Kerry is up in 2008. Not sure about Kennedy
If that is a legit picture...and not photoshopped...
I suspect that picture will be used in a LOT of campaign ads...LOL
I agree, that is NOT flattering. And it looks pretty legit, but sometimes it's hard to tell. It's not hard to imagine the Beast getting that expression on her face.
Wow.
Haley is MY governor!
I have been told that Rudy is polling very well in the Bible Belt even with his rather moderate/liberal social perspective.

Kerry's response...via DUmmieland
Lucky You!!
I'm jealous. My Governor is the damn eyebrow......
Quit yer slummin'
I like Rudy's SOB style, remember when he dissed that Saudi Sheik, in public by giving him back his zillion dollar ck?
I was thrilled, and I have never forgotten that.
Yeah, very fortunate!
BRILLIANT IDEA ....
we're coming up on Super Bowl Sunday when they put out those studies that show how high domestic abuse rises, blah blah blah ... so we might do a survey connecting it to Alito's being sworn in for the Supreme Court !!! Have charts and EVERYTHING !
Haley was on? Damn. Went to the kitchen. Good thing I'm taping. ;-)
Did you wash your hands after touching that?
