“Rudi could conceivably win the nomination, and the presidency in spite of the departure of a significant segment of the GOP’s right wing.”
This has a decent chance of happening.
“Then again, if he LOST the GOP nomination, he could conceivably run as an Independent, a la Joe Lieberman, and may draw enough support from both Parties and Indies to win the Presidency, changing the face of American politics forever.”
This, however, is not conceiveable to me at all.
Put up a lightweight like Thompson on the GOP side, and Obama on the DNC side.
The center turns away from both...the center wins elections.
I agree which is one reason why I’m supporting Giuliani.
Let me clarify my agreement. I agree the center would probably be turned away by both Thompson and Obama. But in order for someone to be elected President, they must win an outright majority of at least 270 Electoral Votes to get elected and I don’t see Giuliani, running as an independent, doing that. Running as the GOP nominee, he gets 270+ easily.
Hahaha, do I hear broken keyboards and broken beer glasses? LOL!
