Yah, you are very wrong.
A. Most wouldn't stay home. Only political junkies with an inflated sense of self-importance.
B. Even if you are right, McCain and Rudy would win the overwhleming number of independents, making it irrelevant anyway.
I'm not saying I want Rudy or McCain, right now, I'm leaning Romney, but arguing that they would be poor general election candidates is wishful thinking on your part and the part of every other freeper who argues it.
Is that you, Rove?
The last election turned out so well for us based on that theory! LOL!
