Rudy will never appeal to the far left, unless he adopts a cut-and-run position on Iraq, Iran, etc.
Liberals know that a hard-core Demonrat like Hillary, Obama, Gore, etc. is even better than a RINO, so Rudy will not pull any new voters from the left. I will make a bet right now that he won't even carry New York against Hillary. He will certainly lose enough conservative votes to doom the GOP.
Well maybe not a huge percentage, but enough.
My sister lives in a part of Seattle where every house has bumper stickers and signs in thier windows saying "impeach bush" "no blood for oil" etc.
she and her friends are so far left they are just shy of jumping on the DUmp truck.
If these folks are even debating rudy and hillary (if they are the end result of the primaries) that is bad.
I dont think they like the war at all (obviously) but many on the far left hate hitlery even more.
