Got news for ya: CAN and WILL. Your all or nothing brand of Conservatism is gone. Sane people realize there is one issue this election, and that is the War on Terror. The rest just isn't as important to us as it is to you. So scream and jump up and down all you want. Rudy will be the nominee and he will win.
Insanity is ignoring the lesson of 11/06 while supporting Rudy/McCain and expecting a different outcome in '08.
You're liberal crystal ball is working fine. But I wouldn't bet the farm on Rudy being the GOP`s chosen one. Rudy is trying to ignore his own liberal roots, and pass himself off as something he is not. By NYCity standards, Rudy maybe a conservative. In the end, red state social conservatives and southern religious conservatives won't buy what Rudy is selling.
