I think a whole bunch of folks are jumping the shark. Not only is it still early in the debate for 2008, once conservatives better understand Giuliani`s full political record, they'll find him even more unacceptable then McCain. I seriously doubt Rudy can win enough GOP primaries to secure the nomination. Hopefully Republicans will have a choice of several solid conservative candidates to choose from, beyond McCain and/or Giuliani.

A social liberal like Rudy has no chance with conservatives here in El Paso County Colorado/Colorado Springs. They've no intention of voting for Rudy. I won't vote for Rudy either.

BTW. The recent Gallup poll you mentioned, was the same poll that showed 61% of Republicans find Dick Cheney unaccpetable as a candidate for 2008. LOL Right!

Doubt it.
I pretty much cover a fair number of conservative blogs from Powerline to Townhall to Instapundit, Hugh Hewitt, etc.
There is hardly any of them that have anything good to say about McCain, and they all pretty much know exactly who McCain is, and who Rudy is.
Just look at the polls here a few weeks ago for 2008, where McCain got a measly 2.7%! And FR is as conservative as they come.
McCain has spent the past 6 years really annoying conservatives, while pandering to the drive-by media.
He is simply paying the price for his own actions.

But hey, feel free to live in dreamland.

That's not what the reality on the ground today says.
Conservatives have consistently chosen Rudy even over the more Conservative McCain.

Might have something to do with the fact that Cheney is not running, and will never run.
Same reason Jeb has been running low in most polls for 2008 as well.
