I don't think you understand. It's not about loving Rudy but liking Democrats or whatever.
The reason Rudy would have won isn't because he's a Republican people like, Rudy would have won because anybody running against him would be, to quote Sean Connery, like "Talking a knife to a gunfight." It's not a contest of skills. It's a contest that's way beyond them.
I obviously can't prove he would have won, but I bet you anything he would have.
I have no idea how you see that. I don't know precisely why we lost but the fact remains there was one party that was the loser tonight. Anyone with an R behind their name might as well have had a bullseye painted on their back.
