>>>>>Western Republicans tend to be more libertarian.

That is ridiculous! I've lived in the west for the last 31 years. You act as though the Republican Party is filled with libertarians. Its not. Within the GOP, libertarians are a blip on the political radar screen.

Btw, I see your still making THE case for Rooty`s candidacy.

No, I don't. Western Republicans tend to be more libertarian than Southern Republicans. That was my point in response to a poster who claimed libertarian Republicans would defect from Giuliani. Apparently, you don't think their defection would be much of an issue.

You must have me confused with someone else. Being realistic about a candidate's viability is hardly making THE case for anyone's candidacy.

You are right, RM.

I've lived in OR for the last 15 years.
We've had Libertarians running against the Republicans.

I see that as well.

BTW, I am a Southern Republican, having been born and raised there, and my family is still there.
However, I do have a bit of insight into western politics, as well.
