"This thread has helped put me more firmly in Rudy's camp as these hysterics have had the opposite affect."
BINGO. Reading a couple of Rudy threads last weekend astounded me and infuriated me to the point that I decided to push back with the "koolaid" thread and now this one.
I was leaning towards Rudy before then - since then, as a one-time New Yorker, the blind regional priggishness of some has really got my dander up. Rudy is a LEADER. No one else in this race can make the same claim.
Romney - A good manager. Not good enough for the Presidency.
I'm on the same boat. I was on the fence at first, but lately, and since that "Rudy Supporters are traitors" thread 2 days ago, I am now firmly a die hard Rudy Supporter.
At least he is honest about his past and not afraid to address all aspects of the conservative spectrum, even the hardest of the right. I'm positive he won't let us down.
Particularly his ability to manage and his strong crime fighting and legal background.
