With how close the POTUS elections have been lately, can we afford to lose any of those voters?Don't you think Rudy will gets votes from people who did not vote for GWB, especially in the Northeast and Industrial Midwest? Remember that Reagan won NY and NJ twice.
I like how Rudy would matchup with either Obama or Hillary. I can't see either 'rat candidate winning any significant Southern support, although the margins won't be as large as with GWB. Rudy would have a very good chance of winning NY, and that alone would be tough for the 'rats to overcome.

"Don't you think Rudy will gets votes from people who did not vote for GWB, especially in the Northeast and Industrial Midwest? Remember that Reagan won NY and NJ twice."
I think that many of those that didn't vote for President Bush in 2004 ( but otherwise would have) based there vote more on the war in Iraq. That cost lots in 06 also.
So to answer your question on Rudy getting those votes...Is he going to run as anti-war?
IMHO, no he wont get those voters.
The greatest majority of the RAT voting block will pull the handle for anything with a D after the name. They can run a moderate, liberal, radical leftest, or and out and out Communist and they will still get most of their base.
I don't think the GOP has those options IMHO.
