Fred Thompson needs to run. That (among other things) will stop Rudy.

They know its fragile thats why they resort to phony polls and lies, trying to make us think he is the "only"one to save America.

It's more likely that Fred Thompson will wind up Rudy's VP than it is likely he will stop Rudy in the primaries.

"Despite former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's lead in the polls, Republican insiders say the GOP base is so divided and Giuliani's ascension is so fragile that the party's presidential nomination for 2008 is totally up for grabs"

Wow, that was hard-hitting, Spiff. Mort Zuckerman's U.S. News & World Report quoting a single unnamed evangelical source! OOOOOHHHH....
Lame. Try again.

I think the hardcore dem base (coerced union members,welfare recipients, dead people, vacant lots, etc.) will vote no matter who the nominee is. I think if Rudy is the nominee many R's will stay home on principle thus handing the White House to the dems. I won't 'sit it out' personally if Rudy wins the nomination but I can't argue with those that do. He might as well be a dem when you look at many policy issues.

Prediction: None of the "RINO THREE" will be the nominee come November 2008.

....there are negative ripples among religious conservatives about the distant relationship between Giuliani and his son, and about Giuliani's three marriages...... When Andrew Giuliani outed Rudy as a miserable father with a possessive, domineering third wife who demands Rudy stay away from his kids, America spoke loud and clear.
88% of those polled said they had a problem with Rudy not attending his son's graduation.
Now that's a poll with political punch (not A Julie Annie faked-up, manufactured poll).

To: Spiff
More LSM jabbering, trying to muster up anti-Rudy sentiment on the right. Once McCain is out, virtually all of those votes go to Giuliani. After 2006, the GOP is not going to put out a nominee who cannot capture the imaginations of swing voters. So unless Thompson or someone else can demonstrate a capability to beat the likely Dim nominees in PA, VA, MO, etc. Then Rudy will be the choice.
We are seeing more and more stories like this from LSM outlets of late. Giuliani seems to be the candidate they fear most, and for good reason.

It's time to acknowledge that Julie-Annie is a very dangerous man.
Rudy's intrusion into the Republican party is a prelude to the decline of the American republic, the two-party system, and the systems of checks and balances the founders built into our system of government.
The Rudyoids stalk conservatives, demean them at every turn, and sneer at the issues conservatives hold dear, even threatening conservatives' free speech. This is only the prelude to the larger plan----to throw social conservatives off the Repub lifeboat, to trash the Constitution, so that liberals control all facets of government.
That's decidedly not what the Founders intended.
Rudy and his liberal control-freaks are a distinct threat to the two-party system, and to the system of checks and balances the founders built into our system of government.
Giuliani's intrusion into Repub politics is the initial step in the decline of the American republic as we know it.

I think you are correct. If someone like Fred Thompson jumps in....McRudyRomney are history.
