Well you will have to ask Nuzzle - he could just as well signed up with Hunter, Romney, McCain or Brownback but he chose Rudy. Did you ever think that he might be saying what he really believes?
Nussle could've had me convinced he was persuaded, but this seems his contradiction.
"As a proud and consistent conservative Republican, I want our Party and our ideas to have a voice. Even more importantly, I want our Party and our ideas to achieve meaningful results.
“Perfect” has become the enemy of the “good”, and we saw that borne out during this past November’s elections."
So one simply abandons "Party and our ideas" because he holds a misconception of November's defeat wrongly believing it was a rejection of those principles and not a rejection of the scandals and belligerence? I'd say it exposes a shaky belief in those principles upon which Mr. Nussle stands. 'Course, I've been wrong before too...
