I read this and worry whether the divisiveness really will be the ruin of us. I am one of those who will vote for which ever candidate wins the Republican nomination so I am not as entrenched as the Hunter and Rudy fans seem to be. I like both Rudy Giuliani and Duncan Hunter. They have different strengths and both would bring valuable skills and ideas to the WH.
However, doesn't it make more sense for us to unite behind someone who has the charisma, executive experience and leadership skills of Rudy and the conservative principles of Hunter? To me, that person seems to be Romney. He may not be as charismatic as Rudy and he may not be as conservative as Hunter, but he is a charismatic and electable conservative (more so than Newt, my #1 choice, but he is not running anyway).
I also think Romney has the added plus of being a new face, a non-beltway guy. If it is Obama, we have our own "fresh face" -- and he's "clean" too! If it is Hillary or Edwards, we can argue let's not go backwards. No more Bush Clinton Bush Clinton. No more inside the beltway guys -- time for a change.
In the end, it shouldn't be about one candidate or the party, but what is best for the country. Which conservative has the best chance of keeping Hillary out of the WH?
That's smart, because electoral politics is too mobile for trench warfare.
I haven't read of any pro-Rudy poster saying they wouldn't support the republican nominee. That seems to be the exclusive talking point of the anti-Rudy's. They have their principles, you know. Compromising for the good of their country isn't one of them.
