I read the Rudy threads - I've heard everyone's defense of him - I have an open mind & do my own research before I make up my mind on something. You all have your reasons for supporting him - I have my reasons for supporting Hunter.
I know I am not going to convince a die-hard Rudy supporter to come over to the Duncan Hunter side - life's too short to waste on such an impossible dream.
By the same token - you are never going to convince me that Rudy is the best choice for our party to win in 2008 - NEVER. Let's agree to disagree & stop wasting precious time with this in-fighting. It's America - we can support who we want to.
In the meantime he supported things like partial birth abortion, which less than 10% of the electorate supports. That's not a moderate position, it's a far-left position that even most democrats don't hold.
Rudy splits the socon base.

No candidate has ever won a republican presidency with a split base. Rudy is doomed.
