I really, really like George Allen, but he's just not catching fire in any polls I've seen...
To: Clemenza
I've gotten tired of correcting people from outside the city on Rudy. They see him on TV during 9/11 and think they "know" about him.

You'd vote for Hillary over Rudy?????
To: pissant
He's going to be the next president unless a strong, smart conservative emerges.
Zell Miller has already stated he's not running.
To: areafiftyone
Not even a toss up for me -- I'll take Rudy in a heartbeat over McCain... MC scares me, Rudy doesn't, at least he would be tough on crime and on terror and I think he could suprise us on the borders, too... unlike John Mc who went all over AZ telling everyone not to vote for Prop 200 last year (passed with a hefty margin, too)....

A big-government, pro-abortion pol from NYC, who can't deliver his state to the Republican column, comes South. Save your cash, Rudy. Southerners deal with the slickest pols from infancy, and you won't fool them into thinking you're a conservative.
You left out anti-gun rights and anti-business.
If Rudy wants to play carpetbagger, go ahead, but he won't get anywhere in the South with his views.

Rudy is anti-business?
Yes, he strongarmed through regulations and shutdown any business he didn't like in New York City.

Marshall McLuhan wrote about how television shapes contemporary perception, ie what the outside world thinks of "St. Rudy", thirty years ago.

I think he could suprise us on the borders, too... You obviously don't remember when Rudy refused to enforce the 1996 immigration laws, stating that "New York was open to ALL immigrants" legal or illegal, and that he would not allow authorities to report illegal students in the public schools.

Guiliani is the only one who can beat Hillary.
He would mop the floor with her in EVERY debate.
Allen the darling of FR would loooose to Hillary. After two good ole boys...Bubba and W.... the country won't do it again. It wants a change.

<I will vote for Rudy if I have to.
Same here, but he ain't a true paleoconservative.
To: Arizona Carolyn
Good point, AFA poll did not even list him as an option.

Yeah, another person who drinks the Kool Aid regarding this corrupt RINO because of the "9/11" fetish.
Rudy kissed the a-s of UN dignitaries except when it came to parking tickets.
It doesn't matter, he aint gonna get the nomination, no matter how hard his friend Rupert Murdoch tries.

When it comes to campaigning Rudy is a pro. Allen would be fighting for the nomination against the guy who became a national folk hero during 9-11. (And I know Allen is a good guy; but he needs to get a lot better at getting his message out.) I personally would prefer to vote for Allen. But if the Hildebeast is running, I would tell Rudy to kick her behind back to Arkansas.
Now, having said that, I really think Rudy would be better off running for Governor or the Senate. It would be fun to see him applauding an outgoing President Bush during his last State of the Union speech in Shrillary's old seat.

Businesses he didn't like? Why didn't he like them? Were these businesses rude to him at a cocktail party? They insult him during a campaign stop? The factory jobs left NYC to make room for other businesses. If NYC is about anything, it's about business.

Another cool point about Rudy is that he just rented office space...most likely for his run...near the top of the Sears Tower here in Chicago. Because of 9/11 you can't give that space away. He did it to make a point....he ain't backing down from the Islam/nazis.....he really is tough ...after so many gutless pols...W...Rumsfeld and Cheney excluded....
I think he'd be a great prez.

OK, just because some hack pol rents office space somewhere he is more qualified to be president? Gee, I guess you have drank the media's colleague on Super Rudy after all!
Trust me, the Giuliani administration would have the ethic of the Grant administration and the social life of the Trudeau administration up in Canada.

Like I said-I would prefer to vote for Allen. Rudy is not everybody's cup of tea, but he would still be far better than the alternative of allowing She Who Awaits and her intern-chasing eunuch back into the White House.
