A lot of Freepers believe if Rudy’s nominated, conservatives will lose control of the party. But the party had two ‘liberal’ presidents in Nixon and Ford, and still managed to turn to Reagan in 1980.
Rudy will fight the war on terror and Democrats. Bush has been wonderful at the former, lousy at the latter - and I think that’s a major reason for his unpopularity. But Rudy stood up to liberals in NYC. After that, Congress will be a piece of cake.
