and how we can reach back out to some disenfranchised voters.

I wish I could share that optimism.

We, as a party, have been badly tainted by some of our own, and lots of stupid political errors.

Add to this, the rebellion within that is being fueled by the MSM on a daily basis and for the last three years.

I don't think it can be turned around by anyone. The "R" has been sullied.

It will take a few years of democrat mismanagement to remind everyone what they were like. I don't need reminding, but apparently many do. I'm thinking 2014 for a mid term comeback.

I will vote for Rudy if he makes it through the maze. I like Mitt, as more of a traditional type of republican candidate however.

I think they will be the last two standing.

There is a lot of energy surrounding the Rudy campaign and I think people will find out how popular he is in the months ahead and we will get some of the Republicans back in the fold that were driven out along with Indys that we need their support to win.

Hello,

I believe that at the rate that the Dems are going, just in the first few weeks of having control of Congress, that 2008 could still be a possibility for the Republican Party.

I have been reading this thread this afternoon, and it does remind me of years past on FR. I lurked for a LONG time before I started talking here. There were times that things got so ugly, so heated, that I simply would take a few weeks off. FR survived it. It will again.

As to this particular issue, I do know that, in politics, an "All or Nothing" attitude gets you Nothing. That is not an endorsement of Rudy. I have not yet decided who I will back in this race.
