The same Beltway experts who declared Sen. John McCain of Arizona the GOP front-runner, even as he under-polled fellow presidential contender Rudolph Giuliani, now parrot equally dodgy concepts. When Republicans meet "the real Rudy," they will abandon New York's former mayor like cattle fleeing a burning barn. Then, the wobbly Washington wisdom continues, Giuliani's three marriages, and his less-than-solidly-right-wing views on gays, guns and gametes will torpedo his buoyant presidential hopes.
These seers now detect unhappiness with the GOP aspirants. They cite a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll in which 26 percent of Republican primary voters were dissatisfied with Giuliani, McCain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, among others. However, 56 percent called these choices satisfactory. This mirrors the 57 percent of conservative Republicans who preferred Giuliani, versus 31 percent for McCain. More broadly, Republicans backed Giuliani by 38 percent to McCain's 24, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's 10, Romney's 8, and 2 percent each for Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
But what if voters like Giuliani better upon understanding his pre-9/11 performance? Educating Republicans on his complete mayoral record _ and soon _ may be Giuliani's best bet for extinguishing the lingering grumbling about his candidacy.
I recently visited Baltimore, Charlotte, N.C., Richmond, Va., Salem, Ore., Seattle, and Johnstown, Pa., mainly to deliver speeches sponsored by the Young America's Foundation. I conversed with conservative activists, College Republican leaders, university professors and think-tank scholars, among others.
These Americans vividly remember Giuliani emerging ...

_ Following national trends, abortions on Giuliani's watch dropped 16.9 percent,
while taxpayer-funded Medicaid abortions plunged 23 percent.
What a rino. Some of you tools have a huge surprise coming.
Murdock is a Rudy hack, doing dirty work againsy loyal republicans in order to give the Rudy campaign, with which he is connected, plausible deniability.

((((RUDY PING ))))))
Another episode of "pimp my rino"
But, but...Hunter has new pictures on his website!
HE LIKES RUDY NOW BUT HE DIDN'T ALWAYS. Narses has a spam that he/she posts with a Murdock Link that is very much ANTI-RUDY!!
"When Republicans meet "the real Rudy," they will abandon New York's former mayor like cattle fleeing a burning barn."
Enough said!
Oh well that is an unexpected event... never mind, he wins...lol.

Well, then your new-look, progressive GOP will be asking the Chamber of Commerce CEOs to do their groundwork. Because of the top 10 groups generally credited with the success of the 72-hour GOTV program, registering new voters, and the biggest grassroots success, I can guarantee you that not a one of them is going to run their engines for Rudy - not the Right-To-Life, not the NRA, not the Family Research Council, not the NHRA, not the Christian Coalition, and so on.
The arrogance of you Rudophiles is truly damning. You will be losing more than a temporary alliance if you are successful in pimping him on those of us who find him entirely unacceptable.
"Let's say somebody is acquitted, and it's one of those acquittals in which the person was guilty, but there is just not quite enough evidence beyond a reasonable doubt," the Mayor said. "That might be a situation in which the car would still be forfeited."
Keep sweeping. That Rug is getting a huge bulge already
Gee the "Real Rudy" has been out there for quite some time now. I don't feel any fire or a wind from the Republicans fleeing! Tick...Tick.. Tick.. Waiting Waiting... AND Here they Come.. Uh! Nothing Happening!
