That would be the perfect ticket for the MSM . They would use Rudy and Newt's combined baggage to drive a wedge into the Republican ranks in an attempt to get the religious Conservatives to stay home , '06 repeat.
The MSM thinks that this formula will work again , and it will, if Rudy is the nominee .
I think you are correct about that. My point was that it would not surprise me that Rudy would pick a conserv like Newt to win the South and SW. Still, a Hunter or Huckabee or Pawlenty could heal those daggers the MSM would hurl at the GOP to offset any conserv on the ticket. Posters wrote that they could not vote for Newt. Perhaps. So far, my money and support is for Rudy G but that is because I believe he can defeat the devilish Dems. To see so many conservs whining, and to see that Newt without organization could draw such high numbers, was my idea that many would indeed flow to him if he did run. His baggage of course, would ruin him and the down ticket. Still, his brilliance is overwhelming when comparing him to all the other candidates. Too bad his personal life has been a shambles.
