You must be kidding. Pure wishful thinking. It been a non-stop “throw everything you can and see what sticks” kind of national campaign against Rudy for the past several months. Google Rudy’s name and 9 out of 10 articles are hit pieces. There’s a desperate attempt to drive down his poll numbers. And in spite of that, Rudy’s Real Clear Politics national poll average remains high at (31.8%), versus (19.6%) for McCain, (10.6%) for Thompson, and (10%) for Romney. And he also continues to have the highest favorable rating of all candidates. I hope there's a Plan B.
You’re the one engaging in wishful thinking. Take Rudy’s positions — the real ones, based on his record, not the “fluff” from his campaign site that’s trying to disguise it — remove his name, and circulate the info among likely primary voters.
They’d laugh it off as a joke.
Rudy Guiliani is only a “name”. An abstract concept that most people have a warm fuzzy about from 9/11. When the primaries start getting serious and people really, really look at their options, they’re going to forget those warm fuzzies and vote for someone who actually deserved the label “Republican”.
