"Rudy splits the base according to the two latest polls on FR."
Its an FR poll which I hate to tell you is hardly a scientific poll. Many on FR are more to the right and more ideological than most of your typical Republicans. Shows how much you know. Of course we can't all be recent graduates of Wake Forest University with degrees in Political Science either.
I guess it shows how much I know. Rudy's candidacy is doomed because it splits the base, and that is definitely something that the FR poll shows. I'm not interested in supporting Rudy because I disagree with him on social issues and I have good reason to believe that his candidacy would harm the republican party by splitting it.
