I prefer Rudy to McCain by a factor of about 1000. Not sure why, but my emotional reaction is to like Rudy and to loathe McCain. Rudy just seems like a take-charge guy that you can be proud of having as president. McCain seems like an old, angry and unstable man.
To be blunt I think Rudy has ba!!$ and will communicate to the people what really, really needs to be communicated... we are in deep dooh-dooh in this world and need someone with a take charge attitude to take the reins.
