And that is EXACTLY why Rudy is such an unpragmatic choice for our nominee. Any conservative Republican will unite the party, as all of the liberals/moderates claim to be willing to vote for anyone. The conservative wing of the party will NOT vote for Rudy. Therefore, doesn't it make sense to nominate someone that evryone in the party will vote for?
That might be true if Rudy didn't take a huge section of I's and D's as well. And for every I and D he gets, that's one less for the D's. So it's like counting double. for I or D he gets, he can afford to lose 2 R's and still be even. And he won't even get close to losing that many R's.
Look, Rudy might not be the best guy for the job, I'm not sold on him, but this 'Rudy is unelectable' and 'Rudy isn't a strong candidate' crap is an insult my intelligence.
Now, now, don't go around making sense. It makes their brains overheat.
"The conservative wing of the party will NOT vote for Rudy." You IN NO WAY speak for conservatives. In fact, you are more likely to ATTACK conservatives such as Sessions, Drier, and Olson when they speak their minds about 2008.
Apparently you like any conservative except those saying what they believe.
The small group for which you do speak is dominated by those who have NEVER supported any credible politician, who have attacked almost everything the GOP and President have tried to do and who are TOTALLY unrealistic, unreliable and irrelevant. They are the same <2%ers we have been dealing with for the last 7 years pushing one unelectable candidate after the other.
