I still think we are one or two years from really seeing a candidate pull out of the group of wanna-bees right now. However, I think Rudy would do a better job on immigration than Bush and he definitely would hold a strong stance on terrorism and what good is every other issue if we take another hit worse than 9/11? My guess is that Karl Rove isn't just visiting with Rudy for social reasons these days...
Everyone on the list (except Jeb) could do a better job than Bush on immigration. Hell Vicente Fox does a better job than Bush on immigration.
Wouldn't surprise me. Rove has undermined conservatives many, many times.
But that doesn't change the fact that Guilliani is utterly out of step with a large majority of Republican presidential primary voters on critical core issues.
Doesn't matter how much lipstick you slather on a pig...it is still a pig, and everybody knows it.
