I'm not excited about any of the 2008 names right now, but along your lines of thinking, I do like a Rudy/Condi ticket in some ways.
Since Bush engaged the terrorists on their side of the world, and we seem to have gotten two pretty good jurists on the SCOTUS, would you vote for someone like Rudy who is pro-choice (though I think he would appoint jurists and not legislators to the courts) if you knew he was going to finish the war and be a champion of National Security? My friends and I always come back to the fact that he was on the ground on 9/11 and lost a good amount of friends and colleagues and he knows more than anyone the importance of finishing/continuing this war until we win. Seems the primaries will come down to the social issues, like abortion, in which case Rudy would lose, but I would trust the guy on National Security. Thoughts please.
