I believe that Rudy may be a stalking horse, it may sound strange but his comments over the past few months seem to be that he despises Romney and really respect......ahem* Palin. Who knows!

[dirtboy]

He then thinks he can beat whichever more socially conservative candidate(s) is left by winning what are still likely to be winner-take-all primaries in big states like California, New York, and New Jersey.

Those winner-take-all primaries remain Damoclean swords over the heads of conservative candidates.

[Sacajaweau]

I like Rudy.

[The Bronze Titan]

Rudy will play the “Huckster” role on the RINO side in 2012 to take out Romney.

[Siena Dreaming]

I would pick Rudy over Romney in a heartbeat.

[GoCards]

Seems I remember that Rudy said if Palin jumps in he will get in to take her out. He is not a fan.

This lisping, effeminate leftist should keep in mind that being a politician from New York is no longer an asset -- in fact, it's a huge liability. There was a window of time back in 2001-2003 when Giuliani would have been a credible "war on terror" (whatever the hell that means) candidate, but not anymore.

Giuliani is not a serious candidate for a nation whose single biggest issue is that it is financially and morally bankrupt.

Rudy’s Great RINO Hunt of ‘11 !!!!!

[dforest]

So now FR is a Rooty site. You folks are nuts with your stalking horse crap. Just last week, Trump was.
Get a life.

Palin hasn’t even entered the race.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Rudy may be likable but he is still a NYC gun banner.

[FrankR]

Romney's working real hard to take himself out.

Rudy had a pretty lousy showing last time to be stepping up to submarine Sarah...just sayin'.

[FightforFreedomCA]

That old drag queen again? C’mon Rudy, give it rest.

[freekitty]

They are running to keep the gravy train flowing and to destroy America.

[LS]

Surely Rudy knows he has no chance after 2008, and I do think he felt screwed by the Mittster. Whether he felt screwed enough to help Palin, who is pretty far on the other side of most issues than he is, is debatable. But I’d welcome him in the NH race if he weakens Mitt.

No thank you

I doubt Rudy or anyone else would get in the race just to weaken another candidate, but seriously, do we really want to play these games?

Rudy is really not much of a conservative. Economics, foreign policy, defense, he is probably fine. Unfortunately, his liberalism/libertarianism on social issues is a terrible weakness. We need a candidate that can unite economic and social conservatives. Alienate social conservatives and we will not win in 2012. Giuliani is simply not an acceptable candidate.

Follow Lame Cherry once and a while....lol.
"Just as a note in this, this blog fully intends to push, push, shove, shove, and do whatever else is necessary that when Sarah Palin is President, that Rudy Giuliani and Mark Levin are going to be at the head of Justice to conduct Grand Juries to sort out, root out, and indict all these Obama terrorists, including Barack Hussein Obama."

[GeronL]

split the RINO vote

[SUSSA]

Rudy is as liberal as Mittens. On top of that he is a criminal who only escaped trial because his crimes didn’t come to light until after the statutes of limitations ran out.

[Tanniker Smith]

He couldn’t even carry New York.

[Blood of Tyrants]

That’s all we need in the race, another RINO.
