I lived in NYC under Rudy. He was a great mayor, but not because he was conservative -- which he wasn't and isn't. He let the cops do their job, and he took no sh-t from anyone, that was the secret of his success.
I don't have a candidate yet, because there are no electable conservatives in the race. No matter what happens, I have no plans to support a RINO former mayor with serious personal issues that will become a problem later in the campaign.
Good post. I, too, will never, ever vote for a liberal, lawyer from New York--EITHER one.
