Hence the currently disastrous state of the Republican Party.

I think that has more to do with Bush's spending habits, and with the war in Iraq.

Once nominated, I supported him. I don't support Rudy for the nomination.

Well, that's okay, because the coming election will be critical. Let's fight out the differences in the primary. I will also support the person who gets the nomination.

His spending habits come from his willingness to work with the Democrats. Rudy accepts a number of Democrat premises that commit him to the same. As to the war, I see no reason why Rudy would be any better than Bush. I see ample reason why Hunter would be better than both.
