Personal guess -- Rudy wins the nomination. The Socials don't have the power they think they have. IMHO, of course.
I agree with that as well. I know here in Oklahoma Rudy is remembered for being here for Gov Keating and Oklahoma after the OKC Bombing. He was immediately there to offer help and Gov Keating returned that help to him after 9-11. I was told by areafiftyone that there is a firetruck that goes through the city on calls that says Spirit of Oklahoma -- that was our donation to NYC along with teddy bears for the children of 9-11 who lost their parents.
Rudy stood with Oklahomans and I firmly believe this total red state will stand with Rudy.
A number of people I have talked with have vowed to never let social conservatives dictate again after 2006. Their message does not sell to the average American we have to reach out to for votes.
I think when the voters hear Rudy in person, they are going to flock to the polls in our primary to vote for him. He unites people with his positive message and his no nonsence approach to the WOT -- we have to win!
