I think it's a mistake to ignore name recog. Rudy and Condi both have huge name id.'s That puts them light years ahead of other potentials. Both are somewhat charismatic as well. All that counts.

#425, Name recognition means a lot, but if the positions that you take are contrary to the base , and you have baggage that will not get by the Base, either you change your stance on those differences or look for another Occupation. Rudy has high recognition, but his ex wife is a little slutty and a little nutty as far as I am concerned. Her hell bent to embarrass Rudy appearances in the Disgusting "V" monologues was a precursor to what is to come later should he be the Candidate. Bernie Kerik will come back to haunt him also, he should have known and he did not. I like how Tough he is,and he is Presidential but I do not see him changing even one of his positions let alone 7 or 8 of them. He would make a great AG.
