McCain - NO!
I'll take any of the others before these two.
Here ya go.
All of the above are a more serious threat to this country due to their stupidity or their backing terrorism, than McCain or Giuliani.

Rudy Building Lead Over McCain... [Rich Lowry]
...according to the new Fox News Poll. Asked who would they support in a Republican primary if the choices were McCain or Giuliani, 56% of Republicans said Giuliani, and 31% said McCain. 50% of Independents said Giuliani, and 27% said McCain. This represents a big bump for Giuliani since early December. Then, 42% of Republicans said they would pick Giuliani, 40% McCain, and 35% of Independents said they would support Giuliani while 41% said they would go with McCain.

Not Hillary.
Freepers have been saying for a year or more that Newt's negatives are worse than Hillary's; I'm sure Newt is well aware of that and so he's just playing a gave and liking that people are begging him to join the race.
He's a smart guy but his ego is one of the biggest in DC.
Thank you for relating that story.
We have a lot of New Yorkers here who have been saying EXACTLY the same thing ... even our Rudy Ping List poster areafiftyone is coming to you straight from NY. :)
My very same reaction.
Hillary with her box full of FBI Files will destroy Rudy.
She has been campaigning against Rudy since 1996.
I heard that, too. Could it be that McCain no longer has his heart in this race? I am sure if he drops out he would support Rudy. They are good friends.
All they need is one or two "extremists" to run up the flagpole per cycle, and they get their way every time.
McCarthyism and HUAC did more to wreck the right, and move the bar far to the right than any commies ever could have imagined in their wildest dreams.
I agree 100%. I've seen the powers that be around here pushing his candidacy which tells me that some people just aren't half as smart as they like to pretend.
I don't feel like dealing with the re-formatting necessary to post them cleanly. I already did that with question 13. If you want to see them, it's easy enough to jump to the poll by clicking on the link above.
there is still a long way to go of course. a long way.
But I will make a prediction now (what the hell) - if Rudy wins the nomination, and if he continues to look strong in the general election polls against Hillary as 2008 rolls on - OK here it is (drumroll) - the Bush family is going to offer up Jeb as the VP. I think Bush 41 wants another son to serve as president, I think the way Bush 43 has been treated leaves a bad taste in his mouth. If Rudy can take it, better to be his VP and setup for 2016 (Jeb will be 63 in 2016). Much the same way Bush 41 knew the right move to ascending to the presidency himself, was to hitch himself to Reagan in 1980.
Oh, I thought you were talking about some other poll. I've seen then numbers. There's no way around the fact that Rudy is in a better position, from all parties, than any other Republican candidate.
Newt is terrific as a policy guy. He has never been good at retail politics. There would certainly be a place for Newt in a GOP administration.
He, too, is a strong supporter of Rudy. I am sure if Newt dropped out, he would support Rudy.

JFK would be a Republican today if he ran on the platform he ran on in 1960.
Republicans have moved left and there's no way they're going back to the middle or right after the last election. And Democrats have moved into some other place to the left of Marxism.
And which candidate is ever going to come along and take away entitlement programs? Nobody. Socialism is sinking the EU and it will sink us too.
We need a president with guts!
