Rudy is the only one who has been beating the Dems consistently in polls.
Then he should run as a DEM.
I will support Rudy when Edwards apologizes to Ann and gives back all of the Coulter cash.
Reagan was down by over 30 points in 1980 -- look how that turned out.
If 1,000 poll respondents were asked tomorrow to name everyone they knew of who was running for President, how many would even know Romney's name?
Of course the candidate with greater name recognition will have a better showing in the polls. Rudy Giuliani was canonized in the national news in 2001, so everyone knows his name. How many people even know that Mitt Romney is a governor someplace?
I believe that as the difference between Rudy Giliani and Mitt Romney become apparent, this will be good for Romney and bad for Giuliani.
