You would think that some people around here didn't learn ANYTHING from the last election.

When Pubbies behave like Dims, the voters choose the Real Thing rather than the pretender.

Let's examine the record for the last 30 years, shall we?

1976 - Moderate Pubbie vs. Democrat. Pubbie loses.
1980 - Conservative Pubbie vs. Democrat. Pubbie wins.
1984 - Ditto
1988 - Moderate Pubbie ( hand-picked replacement for previous conservative Pubbie) vs. Democrat. Pubbie wins.
1992 - Moderate Pubbie vs. Democrat. Pubbie loses.
1996 - Moderate Pubbie vs. Democrat. Pubbie loses.
2000 - Conservative Pubbie vs. Democrat. Pubbie wins.
2004 - Conservative Pubbie vs. Democrat. Pubbie wins.

Run Lefty Rudy against Hillary and Hillary will walk away with the election.

Why not run a real conservative? Reagan showed how it's done.

I agree except for 200 & 2004. Actually Bush is a moderate and if people had actually read the text of a lot of his speeches he wasn't that conservative. As a result Al Gore darn near beat Bush because Gore ran very close to his platform even Bush said himself they were not that far apart. Had Gore not been tied to Clinton scandals Bush would have lost by a pretty wide margin because he ran as DEM Lite.

In 2004 He still ran moderate but Kerry was a solid left winger and did not stray from that. Even at that Bush had a close race. He was loosing part of the GOP Conservative base by then. Had it been Lieberman or anyone else who would run center? Bush may well have lost it with a wide margin. 2004 wasn't a vote of confidence in Bush but more of a rejection of Kerry. Bush is too much like his dad {remember his cabinet is a majority of Poppy's people as well} and Jerry Ford especially on socila issues with Ford.
