Kudos on that post.
And Rudy campaigned relentlessly for Republicans in the '04 and '06 campaigns. He supports President Bush. I can only think of one liberal who supports the president, and that's on the war only, and that's Joe Lieberman.
Rudy campaigned for Ken Blackwell in Ohio, who lost by over 20% and received very little support from outside the state otherwise. Ken is very conservative in every sense BTW.
