I live in the South. Rudy will never fly here. The Evangelicals will stay home.
My thoughts as well.
The frank reality is Rudy can afford to win an assortment of conservative southern States by several or even many points less than Bush did, as long as he as well or better elsewhere.
For example, Bush won Georgia in 2000 55% to 43% in 2000, and 58% to 41% in 2004.
Electoral Votes are Electoral Votes and you still get Georgia's even if you win 52% to 47%.
"" I live in the South. Rudy will never fly here. The Evangelicals will stay home."'
Well that then guarantees a Rudy win in Southern primaries....also tell me which Southern states will Hillary win in the general election beside AR?
You think that evangelicals are that much of a influence in states like FL, GA, NC? Sorry they arent.
Where the evangelical vote staying hoem matters isnt in deep red states, but in purple ones like OH and MO which could go DEM. GA isnt voting for Hillary over Guliani.
Of course I could see some of the stupid purist staying home and not voting at all thus costing the GOP senate seats in places like CO, NM, VA...Like what happened to Tom McClintok in CA. Conservatives didnt like Arnold, so they just stayed home and for some odd reason didnt even bother to go vote for their savior Tom McClintok who had been favored to win
They call the GOP the stupid party, but often it is the conservative movement that is "the stupid movement"
