The NYC thing is still going over my head :(

Being a Tri stater, what is the NYC thing?
LOL I can picture him tell Kim Jong Il to go stuff it! He wasn't afraid of Arafat whereas everyone else licked his shoes.
Why not Marty Markowitz? He'd make a heck of a president.
So it's all your fault!
::give me a minute, I'll come up with something!::
YIKES!!! GULP!!!! But he's a NYer from Brooklyn - Oh wait so is Rudy! LOL Oh well we're doomed! doomed!
No name recognition. He would have to spend WAAAAY to much money to gain national recognition.
Rudy already has it. He is a campaign organizer's dream marketing wise.
Okay make it a good one! don't hold back now! LOL
Rudy will probably be the last "real" NYC mayor we get. What's the line out of that movie, Casino? "It was the last time they let guys like us run something that big."
Could be a VERY interesting race.
I voted for W twice. The second time around though, he seems to have the second string in there. His press secretary is an embarrassment. What happened to Rice? I don't think his policies are wrong, but he or someone - besides Rush - must defend them. Nothing. GW will not fire folks who let him down, a nice attribute if your on GW's team, but not good for the country. I.E. Clinton's holdovers at the CIA, FBI and State Dept. Giuliani wouldn't put up with that nonsense. Do your job or your out.
Giuliani or McCain, who can appeal to the middle, are among the very few Republicans who can win the next election.
The way things are now, I'd agree. If Iraq starts evolving in our favor, which it ought, no more CAT 5's for awhile, and oil drops (which I doubt), the political climate should be better for more conservative Republicans. Iraq is the key. JMO.
Marty Markowitz? He knows every restaurant in every small town in this country, no doubt. I would love to hear his State of the Union Address, "....France, now I love their food. Delicious. But they've got nothing on Italy. Anyone from Italy here? Who likes Italian food?"
LOL!
The NYC thing is kinda like that feeling us tri-staters get for the rest of the country... ;)
I'm second generation from a sharecropper family in Calitri.
Marty Markowitz would have to start smaller and run for Mayor of NYC, then work his way up before getting enough name recognition to run a National campaign.
The NYC thing is still going over my head :(
While I realize that reality is not your strong suit perhaps you would be better served by rereading what I posted before you leap with both feet into the briar patch.
Should you do so you should realize that I said nothing about what the "country" wants I was speaking of Hillary's political preferences. It is undeniable that she would prefer to run against a Tom Delay/Tancredo type than a Guiliani. While the latter is infinitely preferable to Her Heiniousness I have not supported his candidacy. I had been leaning toward Sen. Allen until he opened his mouth and made idiotic comments about Cindy Sheehan. Now I am not so sure that he is ready for prime time.
But you are apparently determined to be a dumbass if you believe me to be a RINO or if you believe there is a huge conservative electorate out there. As it stands in REALITY the most conservative president in two decades barely won election and had a huge margin of 2% for re-election. This tells anyone with half a brain cell that a more conservative president would likely have lost. 48% of the electorate are ready to elect a flatout traitor and you bitch about Rudi. Talk about misplaced priorities and inability to recognize the true enemy.
Marty will never leave Brooklyn for Manhattan. I doubt the guy has ever been to Manhattan. He's the Brooklyn Borough president.
But here's the rundown on him. Poor kid. His dad died when he was like 10 or something. He went to work to support his mom and worked his way through school. Got involved in the old time political machine and worked his way up.
Now, here's the thing about Marty that cracks me up and almost makes it worth the while to travel to Brooklyn. He is unable to give a speech without mentioning food. Not only does he mention food, but will run down the menu of nearby restaurants no matter where he is in Brooklyn.
LOL he has a kinda endearing quality about him! I like him!
I believe God expects us to vote for the most righteous candidate and leave the results up to Him, not vote for the lesser of two evils, which is a form of pragmatism (doing that which one believes will "work"). Pragmatism is a secular humanist methodology not a Christian one. We are told by the false teachers that voting for the lesser evil will prevent this or gain us that - it's trying to play God and manipulate the future! Clearly, as with Gideon, David, Jonathan, Jehoshaphat and others attest, we are to honor God in our choices, no matter how long the odds seem, and let Him fight the battles and manipulate the future. When given a choice between two ungodly candidates, my only choice is to vote for a candidate who reflects biblical values, even if that means voting for a third party (which I did in the last election).
With all due respect, being a leader means nothing if that leader is a moral midget - which Rudy is.
Oh, I see.
Pardon my Calitri comment than. I thought you were asking my nationality.
