We're about to find out. I'm less concerned if there is a challenge in the primaries - that's what they're there for - what I am worried about is the following scenario: if Rudy wins the nomination, that people get their priorities correct, namely, keeping out the Democrats.

If Rudy wins the nomination, he will win the election. Probably with 80% GOP backing plus a healthy majority of independents. Anyone other than McCain, will win with 98% GOP backing and small majority of independents.
If, as I fully expect, Iraq is substantially pacified and on its feet, then there will be no hope for the Dem. America hates defeatists.
