"Anyone who underestimates Rudy and over estimates... some great white hope..."

You may well be correct, nopardons, but that is no reason to give up on a conservative, or at least non-liberal, candidate. Especially not this early in the race.

Remember how many candidates peaked early, only to lose their appeal when primary season actually started. It's quite common.

Rudy simply has too leftward a slant for most Republicans, but his negatives have simply not been put out into the arena yet.

And, his pro-war stance will not sit well with the lefties, who might otherwise like his social policies. That's a pretty big load coming his way.

So, don't count your chickens, etc.

So shows us a conservative Republican candidate who has any chance of beating Hillary.

Name me one, just one announced, even sort of announced GOP primary candidate who is going to beat Rudy.

And Newt is NOT going to run. If he did, he would NOT beat Hillary, BTW.

Name me one, just one, now silent GREAT WHITE HOPE CONSERVATIVE, who can enter the race in December, let's say, and pull it out for you.
