Do you expect us to believe that NYC has a conservative majority? If Rudy "outraged" all the liberals in the capital city of liberalism, how did he ever get elected? Obviously many liberals liked Rudy, and why not. He's a liberal on most issues. He just has some common sense, the way some liberals used to before the anti-Vietnam-War Marxists took over.

A couple of things that scare me about a Hillary candidacy. First of all, she COULD win. Despite having a very aggravating persona, all it would take is some ballot stuffing in urban areas for enough big-electoral-vote states to put her over the top. Remember how well loons like algore and jean francois did. The press gives democrats every benefit and pillories Republicans every time they can. They work hard to make democrat jerks and nuts seem likable and sane. Yes, Hillary COULD very well win.

Second, programs instituted by leftwing governments are very, very difficult, even impossible to reverse in the future even when conservative governments get elected. Look at social security and medicare, rent controls in NY, and affirmative action (yes, I know Nixon had a good hand in starting the latter). Look at socialized medicine in Britain and Canada. Everybody knows it is hugely expensive on a macro level and provides substandard service, but no one wants to give up their "free" healthcare, no matter how bad it is. Leftism creates dependencies in populations that are very, very resistant to change. Every democrat administration leaves us in pretty much permanent worse shape.

Rudy can beat Hillary due to her persistant likeability problems versus his enormously impressive reputation. His name recognition nearly matches hers. No, I am not happy with his position on abortion or gun control, but a Hillary administration will leave us with Hillarycare, at the very least, and that will be a disaster! Can you even think of being ruled for another four or even eight years by the arrogant, conniving, toady scum that surrounds the Clintons?
