Rudy has a record of accomplishment...cleaning up NYC and getting 600,000 off its welfare roles.
He has also been tested under fire.
If Duncan Hunter could boast as much, I'd be more interested in him.
Now if we could inject some of Duncan into Rudy or vice versa then maybe we'd have a candidate we all could be more pleased with.
Dear patriciaruth,
"Rudy has a record of accomplishment...cleaning up NYC and getting 600,000 off its welfare roles.
"He has also been tested under fire.
"If Duncan Hunter could boast as much, I'd be more interested in him."
That's a much different argument than "sitting US Representatives can't get elected."
It's still one non sequitur up against another.

We all know there is a good portion of American citizens that get all their information from the National Enquirer and Star magazine. I'm afraid there is so much fodder for them with Rudy. He was married to his cousin, he cheated on his second wife and announced the split in a press conference, his best friends are gay couple and there are tons of pictures of him dressed in drag. I know that has nothing really to do with his policies but for alot of people it will mean everything.
Rudy is also pro-abortion and pro-gun control.
Hunter was an LT in the US Army, 69-71, and served in Vietnam, Airborne and Rangers. That was a job with plenty of tests, and a high mortality rate as well. Prior to the recent elections, he was Chair of the House Armed Services Committee, where hard decisions and lots of leadership is required.
I just went to his site, and discovered he's been endorsed by BG Chuck Yeager, USAF(ret), who is now a very vigorous 84 or so. That, along with what I already knew about him, is enough for me, he'd got my primary vote. (And unlike most politicos, he has an offspring currently serving in the military, a son in the Marines with two tours, so far, under his belt)
