By playing offense, solidifying our ranks and reaching out to Reagan Democrats and Independents, I believe that Republicans have reason to be optimistic.

may think of Rudy, he's optimistic and right in that we need to stay on the offense:
Been to two Rudy events in NH this past month.
He came to help our Congresscritters.
He has rock star status when he enters the room.
Experienced 50, 60 and 70 year old hard right Legislators rose to their feet several times as he spoke.
In person is tougher on Dems, crime, public Schools, the WOT and spending then GWB. Uses direct examples from NYC.
Think we might see an evolving Rudy.
He held the audiences in the palm of his hand.
