Mark Levin has a correct analysis of the Republican Party. It has three legs:

1.) The Fiscal/Libertarian wing

2.) The National Security wing

3.) The Social Conservative wing.

Any candidate who fails to include all three will lose.

Who fits that bill? I don't know, but Guliani fails #3. McCain fails #1, and is opportunistic on #2.

No one fits the bill because the Social right does not have a star player so they will bite the bullet and vote for Rudy over McCaine.

Sure there will be some malcontents on FR who will take their ball and run home but faced with Hillary or Obama ...Rudy will get the vote out.

that formula - got us a popular vote LOSS in 2000, and a one state ELECTORAL win in 2004. and we are going into 2008 with alot of baggage.
