I could possibly bite my lip and vote for him (in the general only), but not Rudy. Although I have my doubts he could win.
I am a New Mexico voter (which is a borderline state, much like Florida, albeit much smaller).
Most of the Republicans I know (solid voters in the Primary) -— we had a long discussion at the men’s retreat at my church -— would stay home or vote 3rd party if Mitt Romney or Guiliani was the candidate -— this was 48 men -— NM turns on a couple hundred votes.
Romney is just a slipperly liar, and Rudy is a liberal
Basically, by playing to the liberals, the Republicans would lose the conservatives.
Yes, that will be a disaster for the country of Carterian proportions, but so be it.
Carter brough us Reagan. If that is what it takes, that is what it takes.
