Ah, and you would be a 'volunteer' I suppose. ;

To win the presidency, you have to hold your base and pull in swing voters like Reagan Democrats. That should be plain as day by now. You cannot do both from the far left of the GOP. The base won't be enthused and the Reagan Dems won't be able tell the difference between the donkey and the pubbie.

Failing to do both is the fault of the candidate and the party, not the voters.

Falling for a Trojan horse is the fault of the duped. I have heard Rudy called a Trojan horse, it's up to us to discern if that is true or not. Rudy is not my first choice but I might vote for him. My next door neighbor is as conservative as they come and a smart guy but he is not going to be elected president so he won't get my vote. My vote is going to the winner of the Republican primary, who ever that is.People here are are already announcing who they are NOT going to vote for and for what reasons. That is scary!
