I just see no reason for a Republican to be attracted. Giuliani's too liberal for you? McCain's too much of a maverick for you? Then, why on earth would you vote for Hagel and Bloomberg?

I can't say that I would vote for Hagel/Bloomberg over Rudy, but I know that there are a significant number of Republicans who would not vote for Rudy under any circumstances and I understand where they are coming from. Most of them would probably not vote or even vote for a fourth party candidate.

I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

...but I know that there are a significant number of Republicans who would not vote for Rudy under any circumstances and I understand where they are coming from.

As do I. But I believe they'd be better off employing their energy promoting another candidate than having a conniption about Rudy.

Indeed, we'd all be better off...
