He's a 38% candidate nation-wide.

It's a hypothesis based on the fact that George H. W. Bush p!ssed off the base and got 38% of the vote in 1992. I predict that if Rudy gets the nod (God forbid), he'll be in the same boat--with a viable 3rd party candidate springing up on his right.

He might even do worse, considering the voter guide issue and the fact that recently converted Republicans in the South will be hard pressed to vote for and support a stridently liberal Yankee Republican. Rudy's politics is exactly the reason these new Republicans in the South left the Democrats to begin with.

For the record, I voted for George H. W. Bush in 1992 as the lesser of three evils. I won't vote for Giuliani if he's the candidate in 2008. He's an out-and-out liberal and I don't vote for liberals.
