Thanks Liz, we all know that Rudy pushed legislation in NYC to mandate equal benefits for domestic gay partners.
He also lived with a gay couple after his divorce.
You can't get much more left than Rudy was on gay issues, he may sing a different tune now, but who's buying?

how safe do you think the babies will be if some Quixotic effort to elect the "perfect conservative" actually elects MRS BILL CLINTON? I have no idea. I'm not proposing any such plan. I am however concerned over handing over the party to a GOP "perfect liberal".

It's a tough choice, but it's getting less tough every day.
People keep waiting for that magic candidate to emerge and it ain't going to happen.

Agreed. Also, that convention was held in NYC, and was run as a showcase for all the big RINOs, including Ahnold, to the disgust of many conservatives. I think the speech by Michael Steele was the highpoint for conservatives. The rest of the time, the spotlight was on the RINOs.

---"Rudy may have the momentum to bring ALL Republicans out to the primaries."---
---"He'll certainly bring out all the Dems."---
Agreed. The idea that Rudy will bring all Republicans out is so far-fetched.
Ann Coulter is right, Rudy is the only candidate who'd lose to Hitlery. He WOULD get flanked, and he would lose, and the Democrats would have record turnout for the following reasons:
1.) Chance of owning all three Houses.
2.) Rudy is despised more than almost anyone in the black community - that votes 90%+ Democrat.
3.) Knowledge that Rudy is getting flanked, and that the race is imminently winnable.
And then there are those of us who would sooner lose an election than an entire party.

Given a choice between Hillary and Rudy, I choose Rudy... and I'm pro-life, pro-heterosexual marriage, and pro-gun. I hope conservatives will be able to hold their nose and vote for Rudy if necessary and not stay home and let the liberals elect another President Clinton. We need to realize how dangerous this woman is to capitalism and individual freedom.

Hide them on 24/7/365 basis, for I have to moonlight [the times being what they are] as a vampire.

That's your choice. The alternative is Hillary, who agrees with you probably 0% of the time. Make your choice.I couldn't have said it better.
I'm afraid that these "more-conservative-than-thou" types are going to guarantee another Clinton in the White House, which IMHO could mean the end of this nation.
The War against the Islamofascists is MUCH more important than any social issue - our very survival is at stake. If we lose this war - abortion, gun control and gay marriages will all be immaterial. Comverting to Islam or being beheaded will override all other concerns.

So long as Rudy doesn't come out in favor of forcing gay marriage on places that don't want it, that issue isn't going to hurt him. His stand on abortion probably will do him harm, if he can't figure some way to reconcile his own position with that of other Republicans. The same for his view on immigration.

Giuliani is just about right for the Socialist Rednecks of Alaska. Should win easily if he's still in the race, but that's a long time still to go until the primary or caucus, whichever we have here.

You have hit upon the intangibles that make Rudy a formidable candidate, especially against MRS BILL CLINTON.
He's likable, in a kick-butt sort of way.
She's unlikable, in all ways.

She it is not a woman. It is the third hoof of the Beast.

Unfortunately, every poll out there says Rudy would trounce Hillary in a general election, so I'm not sure where Ann Coulter is getting her information.
