Chet is right. The liberals in government, civic groups and in the media detested Mr. Giuliani.

You know, people aught to listen to conservative New Yorkers who have seen Rudy Giuliani going up against special interest groups, the liberal media, the liberal unions, the liberal city council -- and winning most confrontations with them.

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.
