By the end of the day, Rudy in this poll will slowly crawl close to his typical FR one-third cut, but fall a bit short. JimRob's jihad against Rudy has had some impact, but not much, maybe 5% of FR opinion.
Well, I'd try arguments based on traditional core American moral principles, but that isn't likely to work on Giuliani supporters. So, once again I'll point out the pragmatic fact that, if nominated, Rudolph Giuliani will split the Republican Party and almost certainly guarantee wins by Democrats for the foreseeable future.
For as long as it takes for conservatives, the most coherent political coalition in America, to reassemble itself under other branding, that is.
That, sir, may not take as long as you might think. Read up on the Whigs.
JimRob's "jihad" as you put it has certainly ignited debate, which is cool;
but its also ignited a storm of character assassination - a 'Rat tactic that is very very BAD.
As the next year rolls along, I hope that FR doesn't self-immolate over the GOP candidate issue.....
