"What is important is not what you think but why you think it to be true. That is: explain, provide data, etc. to illustrate your point. Otherwise, yer just full of it..."
I gave 2 points to show that Rudy is porbably more unelectable than a better candidate like, say, Newt:
1. Rudy social liberalism would peel off many social conservatives
2. Combined with baggage on his personal life due to his ugly divorces, mistress, gay room-mate, etc. and would further impact that and hurt him among women.
3. Bernie Kerik.
4. Soros' Media Matters has already done the dirt-digging for Hillary. It's all in the timing of the media - they wont use it now because they want Rudy above real conservatives, but they will want Democrats over Rudy, so conclusion - he gets killed in the general election, by welltimed bombs:

5. A liberal says: "If Rudy does get the nod, it will be a real sign of desperation for the Republican Party. "
Are you desperate?
I disagree with your assumption and conclusion, not because I'm a genius prognosticator, but because all these details have been well-known and haven't gained traction.
