But this Guiliani thing seems like a self inflicted mortal wound for this election
Why do you object to Tony Sonw?
a self inflicted mortal wound? tell us which conservatives can win the general election?
I must have posted the same comment 50 times on these threads, no one ever answers - I'll try once more:
we barely won the 2000 and 2004 election. In 2000, we had a well known candidate with an established name, good on the social issues, a religious man, a well funded campaign. We lost the popular vote and won a one state electoral win with a 537 vote margin. In 2004, as the incumbent - he won a one state electoral win where a 65K vote swing would have given the presidency to a northeast liberal kook.
so tell me how the 2008 election is a "cakewalk", just tossing up a litmus test pure conservative is going to be an easy victory. I could go into some polling data that shows why 2008 has made the republican base's ability to secure a presidential win, even harder.
