It seems to be resurrecting itself. :-(
That is the problem, calcowgirl.
I'm not ready to concede that moderate-centrist-liberal Republicans will take over the GOP and elect Rudy to be the party standard bearer. I think in the year we have before the primaries start, rightwingers will begin to get a clearer picture of Rudy`s liberal record. When all is said and done, I don't believe a lifetime of support for liberal issues and liberal causes will not go unnoticed by most conservatives. Especially social conservatives. In the end, conservatives will reject Rudy.
