but why pick Rudy? what dose he have that Newt Dosent?
Rudy has the highest name recognition on this list with NONE of the negatives since he has never been a politicain outside NY State. Once he actually have to start taking positions on National Issues his negatives will go up.
Rudy did two things Newt can only dream of:
1) he threw Arafat out of the State Dinner at Lincoln Center.
2) he gave the Saudi Prince's check back when the Saudi started his moral equivalence diatribe.
Rudy has exec experience, unlike Newt. True Rudy will need to evolve on some traditional Republican issues but seems a more viable candidate.
Of course that's just my opinion... I could be wrong.
