On the other hand, if the base isn’t motivated in states like Ohio and Florida because of Guliani’s social liberalism, he could cost us those states.
I think Rudy would encourage turnout in Florida & Ohio rather than depress it.
Excellent point. New Jersey has sunk so far to the left, I don’t think it is worth competiting for anymore. Genuine swing states like Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, New Mexico and possibly even Michigan can all be put into play without abandoning your base. New Jersey is a pipe dream less realistic than Hawaii or Delaware.
