Nominate Rudy and the party will split like it did when Perot ran. To me it does nto matter if the Yankee liberal is a respendican or a rat. Both are liberals and will NEVER have my support.
I could not vote for Guiliani, or another similar northeast liberal, under any circumstances.
Then you better get to work to find someone you like.
Rudy Giuliani's first move as mayor of New York was to restore law and order. He dropped the crime rate from 2500 murders a year to 699 or so. THAT is leadership. He got 9/11 handeled from the get go. Contrast him with Nagin in New Orleans. He is too liberal socially for my liking, but I think he would be a great CEO for the country. He will appeal to the moderates who like it or not, swing elections. I'd rather see an Allen as well, but his numbers just aren't there. We're still almost 3 years out. Let's see what happens in a year.
