There have been many very good presidents who were not particularly Christian men in their private life, just as the worst president of the 20th century, Jimmy Carter, a self-identified (and obnoxious) born-again, is so crippled by an adherence to a form of sentimental Christianity that he is dangerous to the survival of the Nation. If Rudy gets national security, crime, social security and Medicare reform, and general fiscal discipline correct, then I can live with stalemate on the other issues right now. I think Rudy can beat the Dems.

That's a mighty big IF.

And that, my friend, is the argument in a nutshell. You are correct...and I hope Rudy can make it through the next year of attacks.

Another thing is how bitterly divided the USA has been for a while, even after a brutal attack on our shores. We need to bridge some of these issues - if we don't the dems will. this bitter 50-50 split needs to be worked on, and that means compromise.

If Newt jumped in, the conservs would flow to him. Still, could he win a national campaign? Yet, Rudy G could and with a VP , say like Newt, it would be a rout.

A thoughtful post.

Congrats, that's Jimmy in a nutshell. Well said!

I believe that Jimmy Carter is not only stupid but twisted. His views have very little to do with whether or not he considers himself an evengelical born-again Christian. The idea of evangelicalism is to bring people to Christ - to save them, not to hand out candy bars or new houses. Candy bars and new houses are nice, but they are not the heart and soul of the evangelical message. If he is, indeed, an evangelical born-again Christian, he is extremely periforal(sp?).
