(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
If RudiG is thinking about running for Prez in 08, what makes him think conservatives will vote for him in the primaries. Rudi is a liberal. Rudi is pro-abortion, pro-gun-control, pro-enviro-wackoism, pro-illegal alien, pro-gay rights, pro-gay marriage and a big government Republican. Rudi is tough on crime. Okay. So are a lot of conservatives. The GOP can do better then supporting a liberal like RudiG.
Rudy will win both the nomination and presidency if he runs.
While the Ultra Right will bitch and moan it will not be able to unify around a candidate strong enough to take Guiliani on.
Only McCain will be able to give him a run from what I can see today with the best alternative, Senator Allen, blowing himself up with dumb comments.
Rudy-Condi as a ticket would be unbeatable. If Condi refuses to run perhaps Allen would be a good VP.
I had been in the Allen camp but his inexperience has lowered his viability and there is no one else who is a serious candidate.
