Free Republic has enough on “Rudy the Reprobate” to bury him several times over : )

People say that, but all that information is already public. And he is still polling the highest. Looking at a quick summary of the polls, I don't see a major drop recently for Guiliani. Even with multiple marriages and his stances on abortion, gun control, same sex marriage, and amnesty for illegal immigrants out in the open, he is still pulling in the money and owning the polls.

I am wondering if it is wise to continue bashing Guiliani. If he is selected as the Republican candidate even with all of these vices then any bashing will only be converted to aid for Hillary or Obama in the election. But then again, any bashing will be old news by then and Hillary or Obama will not be able to capitalize on it. I'll have to think this over a little more.

I'm not really thrilled with any of the candidates right now. I really wish we had somebody like Eisenhower running right now.

True, but most people I talk to aren’t even thinking about a President this early. There is alot of time before Americans start to look carefully at the issues. We FReepers are not the norm on this : )

We’re gonna bash the evil bastard the hell outta here!

Yes, continuing to discuss the problems with Rudy Giuliani is wise. He'll be a bad Republican candidate. He'll lose the conservative Reagan Democrat crossover votes without which a Republican cannot win the election. He'll demoralize the types of voters that we need to retake Congress. If he manages to win enough non-conservative independent votes to win, he'll do a lousy job as president.

These polls aren't all that valuable at this point in the race. I've also seen polls suggesting that Mitt Romney has pulled even or passed Rudy Giuliani in South Carolina, but your site didn't list those polls. Finally, many people are undecided. If they liked a liberal, they'd already be in Giuliani's camp. They are looking for a conservative to step forward and take the lead.

I’d say that was the only wise thing I read in your post.

That’s interesting. Rudy owns Texas, Florida, California, Carolina, New York, Ohio and Penn, while Romney has NH and Iowa.

What this really tells me is that McCain is in huge trouble. And Rudy can take Romney out within a week of the early primaries.

Even if your map were correct, Rudy can’t win without social conservatives and constitutionalists. He needs to be nudged, or swift-boated away, for the good of the party.

I would honestly rather have a Democrat in office over Giuliani. At least if there's a Democrat in there the GOP will knee-jerk oppose their actions.

With a liberal republican in there, like WE DO NOW, the GOP will just roll over for the president.
