And do not doubt, not for even a second, how prolific and influential the Christian Right are. Must have been a sleep when we got two terms of Clinton.
Not to mention that neither Bush was an early favorite of the Christian Right.

"If Bush had been perceived to be the moderate globalist that he is,
many conservatives would have stayed home"
And handed the presidency to screaming, stark raving Algore?
Thanks, but no thanks.
"In case you don't know it, Bush beat Gore by the skin of his teeth."
After voters in the heavily Republican Florida Panhandle had given up, and not bothered to vote, because the rabid liberal media had maliciously called Florida for Algore, long before people in the Panhandle had even voted.
Take away the drive-by media shenanigans and President Bush would have won the popular vote.
"Without Christian conservatives, and I mean true conservatives,
coming out in droves for Bush, Gore would have won easily."
That's like saying, without the Catholic vote for JFK, Nixon would have beaten JFK.

Unless W's poll numbers miraculously explode, George Allen is unelectable in the general.
He is mini- W.
A FISCALLY LIBERAL, socially moderate, inarticulate, Southern, GOP insider is worth about 40% of the vote.

"Unfortunately its easier to point out weaknesses of the current candidates than to find an unassailable candidate"
The only "weaknesses" that I have seen the Left banter about on George Allen; He is a poor speaker, ( Is our current 2 term President?), He wore a confederate flag pin in HS, He got in trouble in college for hunting squirrels on campus, and he sometimes chews tobacco.
Those are all bonus points in the Red states, and wont turn off any conservative Republicans in the blue states.

Must have been a sleep when we got two terms of Clinton. Wonder why that was? Now who could have went into the voting polls and chose not to vote for ReadMyLips or Dole? Could it have been those same types of folks who voted overwhelmingly for Reagan? <---- rhetorical
You Rudyophiles can dream of an America where sodomites run rampant, abortions are performed in shopping mall kiosks, and all private gun ownership is banned.
This nation is still inhabited by a majority who honor and respect the ideals of Jefferson, Madison, and Reagan. And it's these types of Americans that will ensure your hopes and aspirations remain just that.

The Republican establishment is never going to let a traitor like Giuliani (see Liz's comment in Post #175) secure the nomination. Rudy's career in GOP politics -- at least from the standpoint of a major elected office -- basically ended in 1994 when he endorsed Democrat Mario Cuomo in the New York governor's race. That idiotic stunt spoke volumes of his disloyalty as well as his poor political instincts (Cuomo lost).
Rudy Giuliani is going to be the Colin Powell of the 2008 election . . . the closet Democrat who gets paraded around on the campaign trail and at the convention to secure support from some constituent group or another.

George Allen lost Super Bowl V to Shula a very long time ago. The only political connection he had was that he allegedly ran a play Richard Nixon drew up.
I doubt that his father's one loss in the Super Bowl (which would have been a shutout had Garo Ypremian hadn't tried to play QB) provides political name recognition for the son in 2006.

Not a chance in Hell.
I won't vote for Rudy any more than I'd vote for Hillary!. There just isn't much to choose between them. If the 'Pubbies choose Rudy for standard bearer, they deserve to be out of power for the next couple of decades and the American people deserve whatever they suffer under the Democrats.

Naaah.
Don't dream of no sodomites.
You are getting carried away.

There is no place on the planet where the people practice capitalism like New York. Its part of the very air we breathe here. You don't know what you are talking about. You can't possibly be serious. Are we talking about the same city here? The one with the highest tax burden in the U.S.? The one with more per-capita government spending than anywhere else in the U.S.?

I thought these two posts pretty well summed up the divide. The best to both of you and hope we work this out internally so we are unified at election time.

Fortunate, Rudy will beat Hitelry if the two of them win their partys' nominations.
I think the RATS are in for a very long holiday from power.
