"People around here need to get their heads out of the sand (or out of their derriers) and realize that their pet issues are way down on the list of most peoples' concerns right now."

Funny that you would say that. The Rudy fans here have a list of their own "pet issues". Are they more significant than those of us who don't support Rudy? I've been telling people the same thing, to get their heads out of the sand, the only difference is, I'm telling that to the Rudy supporters while you're telling it to us. If Rudy gets nominated, Hillary wins. Of course, the Rudyites say it will be our fault, we say it will be your's. Interesting.

The difference is that Rudy and Romney actually have a chance of winning. Just because you agree with one guy more than the other doesn't mean that guy would make a great President. Congressmen and former House Speakers don't get into the Oval Office. Normally niether do Mayors but because of the times Rudy is different. Governors become President. For that you have Romney (who could most likely get it) or Huckabee (who is really running for VP). After his performance at the CPAC Brownback has nowhere to go but down, so he's done.
