In 2008 my two main concerns will be the War on Terror, and fiscal conservatism. Too those ends Rudy may be my man. I would jump to Condi in a minute if she decides to run. I am a little concerned on the partial birth abortion stance, and I hope he either moderates or clarifies that. I, like most that I know, could vote for a pro-choice person, if he was the lesser of two evils, but that is a huge leap from a partial birth abortion advocate.

As for the 2nd amendment, I have no problems leaving that to the States. And since Rudy has already stated that Scalia would be his choice of an excellent Chief Justice, I am not worried there.

I hope that we have a healthy, wide open primary, and the best will emerge. I am probably a little more tolerant of moderates when it comes to Presidential candidates, than House and Senate. After all it is not (nor should it ever be) the Presidents job to write our laws. We have a separation of power for that reason. The Presidents job is to Protect the United States of America. That is all Americans, not just the Dems or the Repubs.

Condi isn't going to run, but if you really listen to Condi, including her interview with Katie Couric, I think you might find she is no more conservative than Rudy.

Excellent points! Very well stated! Bravo!

I am more tolerant for President as well. I want my Rep and Senators conservative and they are here in OK.

Exactly and what everyone should keep in mind!
