"There is absolutely no reason to panic or even think you have to pick a candidate now.
No need to panic or even pick a candidate now, but it IS imperative to be able to look and see that a certain candidate is even POTENTIALLY capable of beating Hillary. The only "white knight" who might come in unexpectedly is Jeb Bush, and there is no way another Bush is going to be elected right now.
I can go down the list of candidates other than Rudy and - except for the unstable nut McCain - none of them seems capable of beating Hillary. I thought Romney was capable of doing so, but when a candidate is still below 5% in most polls there is a huge problem.
I can certainly see the Rudy bashers' point. I actually agree with a lot of what they say. But I have this mental image that haunts my dreams. It is of a night in November, 2008 when Hillary is at a podium with a big stupid grin on her face.
The Fear Hillary! card is rapidly losing its value. Her lead has been cut by 18 points in a month's time.
