"I disagree with the idea that one must be in the race already, or two full years before the election"

Say what? You don't have "two full years" (21 months to be exact). The first (NH) primary is less than one year away. Scheduled candidates' debates start in a few months. If you wait for your pristine candidate (Newt's not good enough) to reveal him/herself, it'll be too late.

Without you proposing and backing an alternative to Rudy soon, sounds like you've already ceded the primary to him. Good, now we can on to the general election.

You are wasting my time. I know full well how an election campaign is conducted. Go argue your Rudy-rot somewhere else.
