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

Neocons or RINO's?
The 2 couldn't be more apart.
And I wouldn't call Powerline, Hugh Hewitt or Captain's Quarters etc either necon or RINO.
They all pretty much fall into mainstream conservatism in this country.
And every poll from conservatives has pretty much confirmed what the conservative blogs, Rush Limbaugh, conservative talk radio etc have been saying : Conservatives don't have much use for McCain.
I think you are living in dreamland.

I am sure you know plenty of people. It still doesn't cover what practically every poll taken this year for 2008 covers.
And practically all of them have Rdy not only beating McCain, they have him beating Hitelry as well.
