I was an Italian in the rural south for a number of years. That was not a popular nationality. I did meet many who reassured me that they ate Italian food once :))

Well, if that’s true, the Democrats are right, and I’ve been duped for years. The GOP base really does want a police state after all!

No thanks. I’d rather lose and start over in 2012 than hand the reigns over to the most Liberal GOP Presidential candidate ever.

The political observers now are a very few and very far between. If politics were significant to people we would have less paris hilton (do people even realize that paris is a BOYS name?), lindsy lohan self destruction, and more what positions guiliani has in comparison to hillary?

The debates are a fraud. A fake, a dog and pony show.

The democrats SHALL pick (or have picked for them) Hillary Clinton.

The republican debates have the MSM annointing Rudy Rhodham Clinton because the MSM wants a two NYC election.

A thompson win desecrats the holy temple of CNN.

Because most Southerners probably know very little about him.

NONE of his opponents appear to be attacking the guy on his record and views.

"I am in the south... and when push comes to shove... we will go for Rudy over Hillary.

Well, I live in north Florida where vestiges of "the South" still exist.

I will not vote for Julieannie....period.

The South is also PRACTICAL.

They want someone with name recognition who can win the elections, not someone whose name will cause people to ask -— Duncan “who” ? ( as much as I like Hunter ).

Also, elections do not always present you with an unflawed candidate. You often have to choose between a flawed and a for all purposes, dangerously wrong-on-most-issues candidate.

Between a flawed Giullani and a sHrillary, the choice should be obvious. Even to those living in the South.

You’re not from the South, huh?

Did you at least ever stay at a Holiday Inn Express?

Just curious.

I think Hillary is afraid of Rudy because he could win CA. She can’t win without it.

Because most of us from the South are also in the Armed Forces and are thus not approached for such polls :P

Well, if Hannity is conducting the poll, it is easily understandable. (Of course he is not, but I took this opportunity to rail on Hannity because of his obvious bias towards Rudy)

Because national security trumps all others issues as the present time and a lot of people everywhere are sensible enough to understand that.
