I should point out that in my opinion...both Newt and Rudy are nearly non-electable.
This shouldn't count, but unfortunately...it does. Both of them have high negatives amongst sizable segments of the voting block, and it is because of the MSM in both cases.
Their negatives are the cudgels liberals always try to beat conservatives over the head with during an election cycle: Uncaring, Greedy Fascists.
You know and I know this is just spin, and as for uncaring, a persuasive argument could (and should) be made that tough welfare reform helped many more than it hurt, and fiscal responsibility plus lower taxes=a booming economy. But it will be a cold day in hell before we ever hear that disseminated to voters by the MSM. The MSM, while slowly rotting, is not yet dead.

Both of them have high negatives amongst sizable segments of the voting block Fox News just took a poll regarding Clinton, Obama, Edwards on the Democrat side and McCain, Giuliani and Gingrich on the GOP side. Of the three Republicans, Rudy had the fewest respondents saying they definitely would not vote for him. There was no comparison between him and Newt, who was viewed that negatively by almost twice as many people.
