On the other hand, I think you, and the left-wing media, and the left-wing push-pollsters, and a vocal minority on FR, are GREATLY OVERestimating rudy.
I guess some (not necessarily you) think, that if enough "smoke is blown up our collective asses" promoting rudy, then we'll become true believers and flock to the polls to support him.
It ain't gonna happen, sorry.
You have a right to your opinion but IMO Rudy and McCain are the Republicans only hope in 2008.
