"No. This is just the beginning."
THANK YOU! I have yet to see a Die Hard 2 reference!!!
Now Stack 'em, pack 'em, and rack 'em :P!
Doesn't matter though. The Giulianis will find that ship before we do anyway.

Rudy is the stalking horse for the return of the Rockefeller Republicans, IMHO.

You are wrong. Rudy's candidacy is an abomination to many of us. He should be challenging Hillary and Obama for the Democrat nomination. His views nearly mirror theirs.

Concur.
I am a 30-year GOP stalwart and support Giuliani as our nominee for one simple reason: I want to hold the White House. The only candidate who can win other than Giuliani is Thompson, whom I would prefer.
McCain, Romney, Gingrich, Hunter, Brownback, etc are all losers to Hillary. She and the Clinton machine would make mincemeat of these good and decent men in a New York minute.

Agreed. Mincemeat will be on the menu in 2008 if the reps don't field a powerhouse candidate with wide appeal. So far, Rudy it the only one.

"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."
McCain has been falling in the polls and none of that support has been going to Rudy. He is stuck at 34%.

Not only has Rudy been historically wrong on RKBA issues, he is too damned arrogant to admit it.
I won't even begin to play the "maybe" game, nominate Rudy and watch me go fishing. It is too late to make an honest Republican out of him.

Its good to see not everyone is following the pro-Rudy buildup being propagated by the MSM.

"For very good reasons, the base will say 'no thanks' to Rudy," says the strategist. "Eventually there will be a reckoning." Good, maybe the bigwigs at the RNC can convince Rooty Julieannie to drop out now.

That 34 percent is quite misleading when you look at how he fares state by state. Rudy can easily win the nomination without the south. No one else can.

Wow, that was hard-hitting, Spiff. Mort Zuckerman's U.S. News & World Report quoting a single unnamed evangelical source! And all those pro-Rudy polls....those are credible?
To: massadvj
Giuliani seems to be the candidate they fear most, and for good reason. Please. Once Giuliani wins the GOP nomination, it'll be open season on him. All of Rudy's social liberalism will be front and center.
] Rudy has no chance of winning.

"That 34 percent is quite misleading when you look at how he fares state by state. Rudy can easily win the nomination without the south. No one else can."
If the primary voters are split enough he could win the nomination with 34%, but that 34% wont win the general.
If we nominate someone that loses the southern states the RATS win.

Schwartzenegger's nomination was an abomination to the religious right, and it didn't prevent him from winning in California. A similar dynamic is at play in the 2008 general election. After 2006, I think the party is so spooked, electability will be the critical issue. Some ideologues, like you, may abandon the process. But most will not.
Many conservatives will benefit from a Giuliani led ticket. I predict virtually no one will refuse to campaign with him. In 2006 all of our congressional and senate candidates were clamoring for Rudy's endorsement, and they will again. He gave them his support without equivocation. You equivocate when it comes to him, but he does not equivocate when it comes to your candidates. That speaks volumes.
