It isn't just Giuliani, it's Romney or McCain.

Any of them will doom the Grand Old Party.

We've got a couple of others who are seriously flawed as well. But that's another conversation...

Romney may have the very same effect on the party, although he's recanted his past liberal views - if you believe him. He may convince enough Republicans to believe him, and that why I say MAY have the same effect. I don't like that kind of gamble and I don't support Romney.

McCain's opposition in his own state is indicative of his opposition throughout the party. However, I think he has even less of a chance of splitting the party, like Giuliani or Romney, but I don't think his chances are good in the general election either.

It is my greatest concern that Giuliani represents the 'perfect storm' here. His liberal, anti-GOP platform views are offensive to most of the grassroots of the party and his baggage gained as mayor of New York will be offensive to nearly every Democrat and most of the Independents. His nomination will likely cause a permanent split on the party and he will lose the general election. I'm not convinced that McCain or Romney represent an identical 'perfect storm' scenario. But I haven't looked as hard at either one of them lately as I have Giuliani. You may be right about them, but I'm not quite there yet.

So much doom and gloom, eh EV :-)

And so little time. Gosh, if it isn't Rudy - it could be Romney - oh dear - or possibly McCain - oh dear

Lions and tigers and bears :-)

Imagine - there are republicans who are going to vote for each of these people that you don't agree with :-)

So much doom and gloom :-)

You could always try and really scare people :-)

You've thought of that, though right? :-)
