"They will truly not favor anyone until the TeeVee commercials begin."
Although I agree that most people are not political junkies, with possibly the exception of John McCain, Rudy is probably the best known candidate.
One thing worth mentioning.
Many conservatives support Rudy knowing they don't agree with some of his positions, but they have made a conscious decision that he is a strong leader and tough on terror and those are the qualities they're looking for in the race against Hillary.
I understand all that. And there is a sizable number (in fact, quite the majority per a previous poll) who are going with candidates who espouse the traditional conservative possitions, which Rudy does not.
