Are the "minorities" now the majority? If they are, Rudy ain't gotta prayer. when Rudy ran for Mayor, things in NYC had gotten so bad , that even the powerful NYC Jewish Liberal voting block threw some weight behind Rudy. Once he got the town straightened out, and his character defects, which are many, started to show, they couldn't wait to get rid of him. The town got so safe and even livable, that perhaps the limousine-liberals found it too boring.
Rudy will take the upstate Irish-Italian- Catholic-Normal-People-vote, a lot of which is closet-democrat in nature, probably will even carry Staten Island, but win the whole state? Fuggedaboutit. This guy is damaged goods.
That was Rudy's infamous "Kick Conservatives To The Curb Strategy."
In the end, Rooty actually spent a whopping $60 million (much more than Huckabee's $7 mill) and Rooty got only one delegate for his time and trouble.
In Fla he was banking on votes of liberal NYC transplants---Rooty campaigned there 61 days straight and came in a distant third. Seems the more voters saw and heard him, the less they wanted to vote for him.
His WIFE was a BIG reason he lost--even blase liberal New Yorkers RECOILED at the sight of her. Her first campaign speech was the start of his troubles---at a fund-raiser she rambled on and on about "dating" Rooty (while onlookers winced b/c he was married at the time).
Everytime she surfaced voters were reminded the Mayor married an adulteress home-wrecker. Mayor Rudy paraded her around NYC even as his wife and children lived in Gracie mansion. Then he tried to dump his wife and kids out in the streets to move the bimbo in.
During the campaign it was discovered Rudy was using city funds to subsidize his mistress and hiding the costs in obscure city agencies.........usually known as governmemnt fraud.
HAHAHHAAAAA ... gotta love their masochism! /laughs
