"A social liberal like Rudy has no chance with conservatives here in El Paso County Colorado/Colorado Springs"

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


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

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.

Appears we're on two different wave lengths. I've lived in El Paso County/Colorado Springs for 30 years. I know the politics of Colorado. Grew up in NYCity, Brooklyn. I know all about the liberal politics of the Big Apple too. I know what makes Rudy tick. And I have a fair amount of contact with conservatives from California to Florida, and in flyover country USA. Most conservatives I speak to won't vote for a liberal in the GOP primary. That includes Rudy Giuliani.

Many of the so-called "popular" conservative bloggers I've come across, are actually libertarian minded folks or ex-Democrats who can be catagorized as neocons and RINO`s. Not saying they like McCain. While they might be more forgiving of a social liberal like Rudy, mainstream Reagan conservatives aren't under any illusion about Rudy`s political record.

If Giuliani were fortunate to get the GOP nomination and become POTUS, he would be the most liberal President in US history. More liberal then Clinton, Carter, LBJ, JFK, Truman and FDR. And that's just the Democrats. LOL
