I somehow think Rudy will be our next president. I don't see anything in his way.

Unlike most of the other GOP presidential hopeful, Rudy isn't "threatening" nor dour, he is optimistic, comes off as a real person, but also a strong leader, so he can therefore attract Independents and some Dems, who find the Dem candidate, whether it is Hillary or Obama or Edwards or XXXXXXX too far left or soft or inexperienced or whatever, to suit them.
