In spite of what the JulieAnnie Apologists think--the conservative base DOES matter. It matters for the energy, enthusiasm, volunteer time and most importantly TURNOUT.
I can only cite my own situation as an example. I worked for Pres Bush in both elections—contributing cash, working the phones, working on election day, taking people to the polls, doing paperwork. If Guiliani is nominated—I will do nothing. In fact, I will do my best to encourage other Republicans to NOT vote for him. I know it’s only a few votes—but I have already convinced a handful of relatives (who normally vote Republican) to NOT vote for a liberal like Rudy. Just citing his GUN GRABBING attitude was enough to turn a few pro-Second Amdt relatives against him. They were not aware of HOW LIBERAL and how anti- gun Guiliani really is.
Very EASY CHOICE ACTUALLY...lol Enjoy your new Party!!
Ooooh - you’re going to vote third party.
Why, if I was a whiny boy like so many of the men here, I’d be pinging Jim. LOL
