"If people are stupid enough to let one of those two get nominated they can enjoy having Hildabeast get elected, because many are like myself, and refuse to ever vote for those choices.

Hillary is banking on that. That is probably why the MSM loves Rudy and Lamo so much. It keeps Conservatives home.
They love Rudy and McCain now, because they're "mavericks", which means they support about 85% of the democrat platform. When it comes down to the choice between a democrat and a democrat running as a Republican, though, you know where the media will land.
That being said, Reliably red states will probably stay red. Blue states, particularly NY, come into play. Arizona doesn't have enough electoral votes to make the Rats lose sleep, and should fall republican in most national elections, but Rudy could give the Rats some sleepless nights, just because they'll have to defend NY and New England, and Pennsylvania could be problematic also.
Florida seems to have gone more red, but most of the blueness comes from transplanted New Yorkers, so it could be a problem for the Rats. I think McCain's a loser, but Rudy could create some problems for the Rats. The Rats have been able to count on NY and California, which gets them over 1/4 of the way to the WH before they even begin campaigning. Personally, Gingrich is sounding better than anyone I've heard, but he has some heavy baggage from some nasty divorces, and the media detests him (course, they automatically detest any Republican running for office, but they've got a two foot file on Newt.
My personal opinion is if you see heavy campaigning in the South in October, the Republicans are losers. If you see it in New England and the Northeast, the Rats are losers. This is for the Presidential race.
