No kidding. Picking Rudy as his running mate would be the easiest way for McCain to hand the presidency over to hillary or obama on a gold-crusted silver platter. The election would not even be close enough for Ralph Nader to be a factor even if he somehow siphoned off 15% of the moonbat dem vote in each of the most tightly contested states.
Consider the primary results from Texas, and how I as a Texan and a conservative republican interpret them:
GOP Primary
| Candidate | Votes | Vote % |
| J. McCain | 707,622 | 51% |
| M. Huckabee | 521,950 | 38% |
| R. Paul | 69,824 | 5% |
| M. Romney | 27,579 | 2% |
| Uncommitted | 17,611 | 1% |
| F. Thompson | 11,786 | 1% |
| A. Keyes | 8,571 | 1% |
| D. Hunter | 8,254 | 1% |
| R. Giuliani | 6,169 | 1% |
| Total GOP | 1,379,366 |
Democrat Primary:
| Candidate | Votes | Vote % |
| H. Clinton | 1,453,139 | 51% |
| B. Obama | 1,354,672 | 47% |
| J. Edwards | 29,808 | 1% |
| B. Richardson | 10,667 | 1% |
| C. Dodd | 3,718 | 1% |
| J. Biden | 5,297 | 1% |
| Total Dem | 2,857,301 |
More Texans voted for hillary than voted for all the GOP candidates combined in the GOP primary. More Texans voted for Obama than voted for McCain, Huckabee, Paul, Romney, and Thompson combined in the GOP primary. This is in a solid red state. This means that GOP voters were not at all enthused about their choices for this primary. Perhaps they'll be enthused in November to vote against hillary, but they certainly won't if McCain picks a liberal like Rudy as his running mate.
