Rudy could be elected in the general election but he'll never make it through the Repulican primary process. He'd come in 5th in a 4 man race in SC...anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding himself.

Rudy could be elected in the general election but he'll never make it through the Repulican primary process.

The implication here is that Rudy is a de facto Democrat, which is why I've never been able to understand all the adulation he's gotten here on FreeRepublic.

Rudy's positive attributes (no-nonsense guy, very strong executive type) are far outweighed by his negatives (his unabashed liberalism on some very critical issues, his questionable dealings with some sordid characters, his "intangible" attributes that weigh strongly against him).
