Then Ronald Reagan wasn't "really a Republican" either. He carried a bunch of those traditionally blue states back in the day. Seemed to do pretty well for us as POTUS.
(And yeah, Reagan flip-flopped on abortion too, and was (gasp) divorced).
I'll take a win for Guiliani (or any other Republican candidate) in California. A Republican wins in California -- it's a landslide. Republicans who win with a landslide = coat tails.
Ahh... I miss the Reagan days when he wiped the floor with that loser Mondale.

I was here when Reagan was governor. He didn't seem like a dyed in the wool Republican then, and as president, I'll give Reagan credit for a number of things, but mostly he revitalized the American spirit, rebuilt the armed forces, and cut taxes. After that, there isn't a lot to celebrate.
Can Rudy get through the primaries? And is it all that great to elect a RINO? It wasn't so great with Bush I or Bush II.
Well, the country is doomed regardless of who we elect. The question is whether the conservative holding action is defeated quickly or a bit later.
