I'm counting on Rudy NOT getting the nomination. But we shall see.
There's still a 50/50 chance, I think.
The problem I see is he really does have a ton of personal charisma. When he talks, he seems competent and intelligent, and he gives you the idea he'd do his very best to solve any problems that were put before him.
But you know how fickle fate is . . . one mis-step and his plans could go down the tubes. And it'll probably be something none of us could have predicted!
