I think he was a good mayor for New York but the rest of the nation is not New York, not by a long shot.

It's not Texas or California, either.

No one state is proper prep-work for leading the whole nation.

The ankle biters are out, blame others, but don't come up with a powerhouse candidate themselves.

I think the predictable swarm of RudyBots are about to land on this thread, call you everything but a homo sapiens, and label the writer of the article as:

WHAAAAA!

The Rudyhaters are too busy clogging up these threads telling everyone what the Rufyfans WILL say, and acting like the widdle wounded victims, to actually read and think about and discuss the situation.

The situation being that we should push as hard as possible for a conservative to win the nomination, BUT whoever wins we have to get behind him to defeat the Democrat.

I'll leave the floor to the whiney Rudyhaters so they can now tell you all what I'm REALLY saying, i.e. they'll conveniently skip how I said we need a conservative to win the nomination.

Winning is meaningless when you elect another liberal, no matter what party he belongs to.

What garbage. Do you really believe the outcome is the same if you have Hillary or Giuliani as President? The 2008 election is not going to be won on social issues.

The article is bombastic garbage.

I agree. It must be a copy of a column he wrote for Slate or some other periodical. He must've had a deadline he couldn't think of something to write about in time for, so he just winged it. Badly.

You seem to agree with the Left. They say Giuliani is a budding fascist. If you read Leftist blogs, they say similar things to "respect for our constituional rights would never be recovered." The Leftists say that if he's elected he will become a dictator. I remember them saying the same things about Ronald Reagan. They were wrong about him and they're wrong about Giuliani. I lived for 8 years with Giuliani as my Mayor. Never did I see him as a fascist. The DemonRats and Radical Leftists did. His initiatives helped to clean up this city. People felt safe to visit and do business here. Times Square was transformed from a dangerous human cesspool into a clean, safe and vital area. I never feared him and I have no reason to fear him now. I don't support Giuliani for President. I don't agree with his views on abortion, guns and many other things. At the present time, I support no one. I'm certain of one thing. He is no fascist.

I have the same sense that he doesn't have a center.
A man's got to know his limitations and he doesn't have the experience to know his.

A "practical" Bill Clinton: parochial, short-sighted and small.

I think a lot of us don't come across in writing the way we really mean to sound. That is the hardest thing about communicating via the internet.

Rudy's a hardcore leftist. Opposing his run for the nomination as hard as possible is what someone who actually wants a conservative to win the nomination would do.

After watching the bureaucrats in the permanent govt. in action during the war on terror, I find myself wanting a President who will start firing these people left and right.

I don't oppose ANYONE's run for the nomination--it's a free country. Doesn't mean I have to vote for them, but the nomination process should be free and open. THAT is the conservative position--it's the libs who want to control, the conservatives who want people to have freedom to live with as little regulation as possible--remember?

I would assume that this author is writing from a liberal slant.

Jim Sleeper writing from a liberal slant? You're joking right? Jim is one of the most best known conservative writers out there. His book "Liberal Racism" is a conservative classic. All politics aside it would not hurt you to become acquainted with his work.
