You are right on.
That is why I said what I did.
I cannot think of another person who is as well known, is a bulldog on national defense ....and who could take her.
Deep down there are many democrats who are uneasy about ole Hillary as Commander in Chief.
I was just being real....Rudy could take on Hillary and win. I can't think of another person who could...can you>?

To be honest, I'm not a big Rudy fan, but I am a realist. With the country so evenly divided, we need a candidate who can swing the middle while motivating the base. Guiliani can swing the middle, sure enough, but can he enervate the solid conservatives in red state country? The conservative base is leery of Guiliani, for good reasons: his stance on abortion, his messy personal life, the simple fact of his New York mayoralty and the Tammany Hall machine residue that still clings to New York politicians in toto. The only way his candidacy could work is the choice of a bedrock conservative voice as the other half of the ticket, a known quantity with heartland appeal. Who could be that voice, that balance on the ticket? Who knows? (but I bet Rove and other GOP politicos have some ideas.)
