This is the thing about Rudy. The president's views on abortion and homosexuals are much less critical now that the Supreme Court is more balanced. I'm not saying the SCOTUS still can't get crazy, but these issues do belong there and Bush has managed to pull the Court back a little from the brink.
And there is no Republican on the horizon who has the leadership charisma that Rudy has in his little pinkie. Not to mention the willingness and ability to play street ball with the Rats.
I was never enamored of Rudy as a prez candidate, but as time goes on and the field continues to look stupid, I've reevaluated and found that, even though I strongly oppose Rudy's views on social issues, I can vote for him and work for him to get elected. I want someone in the White House with testicular fortitude on national security issues and Rudy's got that.
Well said and ditto!
