She will be rode hard and put up wet.It matters little which whussy pipped running mate she has.
If Rudy doesn’t get the Republican Nomnation, who will?
Well that depends on what happens with the conservative base of the Republican party over the next 6 months. I think that Thompson and Hunter will give Rudy his walkin' papers.
I hardly believe the polls. They always have been wrong in the past, and essentially are propaganda designed to protect the investments made by big money in the annointed candidate. The annointed candidates do not always win, because there is a high degree of unpredictability in what might happen in the run up to the convention.
And this time there is even a higher than usual unpredictibility factor, because of the split between the RINO faction ( the RNC annointed) and the conservative base that won the last presidential election in 2004, only to find that the RNC dumped the agenda that Congress had been mandated by the electorate.
We won't know until the second night of the convention who the front runners will be. And who they are depends on how the conservative wing of the Republican party swings. If they swing in unison, it will be Thompson /Hunter. If the conservative wing remains divided, it will be Romney/Paul.
I doubt that the convention will take the candidacy of Giulliani seriously, simply because he has too many liabilities as a presidential candidate, and he cannot overcome them, even with the nod from the RNC big wigs, who obviously think he is the best the party has, they certainly wanted him to name his mafia connected Homeland Security nominee to the highest security position in our nation. Would he been better than Chertoff? Well anyone would be, but we don't need mafia hit men doing the CIAs dirty work that the Clintonistas inside the CIA have kept them from doing.
I do not trust the RNC, after what they did with Tom DeLay, and the 5 RINOs whom they supported to derail the conservative agenda from the House, by having those 5 Republican Senators defuse the nuclear option of cutting off filibusters by the Dems on the issue of Supreme COurt appointments. The Dems successfully blocked many conservative judges from the federeal system. That sucks.
I do not trust the RNC in their support of the Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill.Neither do most Republican delegates.
So the question is simply this, "Will the Republican grass roots take back their party?" I am betting they will, simply because too much of the future of our country is riding on it. They must.
And if they do, Giulliani does not stand a snowball's chance in hail of getting nominated. Hunter and Thompson do.
The end game for the Republican candidates is taking shape. The convention won't be pretty, but it will be democracy in action. The delegates are already planning their strategy to take back the Republican party, and Tom DeLay is very active in the back ground on doing just that. May God speed his course.
I will keep rooting for Duncan Hunter. He is the best man for the job, and the best equipped to duke it out with the Dem nominee, who will NOT be Hillary Clinton. The left do not trust her, nor do moderate Democrats. The Dems are scrambling to silence the left, and trying to reposition themselves away from their traitorous Iraq policy, for they know it will lose them the next election, and it may already be too late for them to reposition themselves , as moonbats like Cindy Sheheen keep the left alive in the public eye.
Who ever Joe Leiberman supports will likely get the Dem nomination, and that sure as hail won't be Hillary. Joe does not like her after what she did to him in Nov of 2006 in the run up to the Connecticut election for Senator. Joe won, which goes to show you that there is a bedrock of Dem moderates who control the Dem party. The left does not and have now failed at their bid to control the Democrat party. Just as there is a struggle for the heart and soul of the Republican party, so there is also for the Dems, and the moderates have it still. Their convention will be a mess, either a rigidly controlled continuall scripted robo event, or a blood bath with Michael Moore and Howard Deaniac swinging from the chandeliers.
We WILL beat Hillary like a rented mule if she is nominated, but I don't think she will be.
