Of course, polls also show Rudy leading every Gopers as well as Hildabeast. That would have been good info to include in this rant. No other Pub will take NJ or Pa. so please stop the conspiracy malarky. SC has Rudy ahead. Is that a wacky Christian conspiracy to put Rudy ahead? And in Ohio, and in Fla. and in Ca.?? Boy, those wacky Christian conservatives who want the anti-Christ to win. This is Ron Paul ranting.

Rudy won't win NJ in the general election if he's nominated.

They'll just vote for Hillary.

I was hardly ranting. I’m one of the few around here that hoped Rudy would work out. Unfortunately he hasn’t been willing to change on some of the foundational issues.

(Asked of Republicans and independents who lean to the Republican Party) I'm going to read a list of people who may be running in the Republican primary for president in the next election. After I read all the names, please tell me which of those candidates you would be most likely to support for the Republican nomination for President in the year 2008, or if you would support someone else.
