I bet you would. Rudy, the RINO who had the early start as 2008 candidate and fizzled like a damp firecracker.

Woo weee. He might be okay in the cabinet someplace.

RINOs abound on FR

“Rudy, the RINO who had the early start as 2008 candidate and fizzled like a damp firecracker.”

Which is why the GOP primary system stinks. It’s rigged in favor of a bunch of farmers and evangelicals—with some small town New Hampshirites thrown in. Three small atypical states—which explains the obsessive discussions about ethanol or abortion, with very little emphasis on big state, big city issues. It was all over by the time it got to where I live—PA. Nobody in NY, NJ, CT, OH or anywhere else in the NE or Mid Atlantic had a vote that really counted. What really fizzled was the system—which keeps giving us losers like Dole and McCain. Even Reagan lost his bid for the nomination first time around. Which was too bad. He was already past his prime when he finally made it—barely—and then won in a landslide.

We need a fairer, regionally rotated system that gives all Republicans equal say about who their nominee will be.
