All you have to do is beat him. There is no candidate on the horizon capable of doing that. Guiliani will win at least half the southern primaries then what are you going to say.
The New South as far as the GOP is concerned are Reagan Democrats who didn't start voting consistently GOP at every level (downticket) until GWB in 2000.
These are not the kind of men who will cotton to someone in a flamboyant drag queen costume, and to think that Guiliani's opponents will not capitalize on this foolishness is foolishness itself, as was his willingness to appear in drag in the first place.
That sort of thing makes Southern men uncomfortable in their choice of President, regardless of whatever you're piping in Illinois.
Here's a bookmark for you -- meet me back at this thread in late March of 2008 after Rudy drops out from his Super Tuesday fiasco, so I can rub your face in it.
