I'd rather have Hillary, which would give us back a strong Republican Congress in both houses in 2010.

Don't be so sure.. If Hilldog wins, and the dems hold the house and senate, then they will be in power during a crucial time, the 2010 census. Although drawing district lines is a State issue, the influence of the federal government in power has great influence over how the lines are drawn. Other issues would be potential judicial nominations, of which many are for life. An election is far more than one person, it is about a system and setting in place events that will last long beyond their term(s).

No matter how much I dislike Rudy, if the general comes around and it is him vs. Hilldog/Obama, I will vote Rudy. The alternative is unacceptable.

Consider also that Pres. Thighs and a Dem majority in Congress will ram through an amnesty bill that will make millions of illegals legal residents. Since they are heavily weighted in Dems districts already, that will give them up to 12 seats by redistricting. Republicans thinking they can regain influence by letting the Dems win elections are beyond ignorant.
