The problem is Hunter isn't the only conservative w/ his hat at least partially in the ring, he is just the soup de'jour of our (conservative) side. Conservatives also have Gilmore, Tancredo, and Thompson (and Weiner Savage has even said he is running for the really nutty folks to get behind.)

Upon what evidence do you base this "split" by Thompson? He could very well select Hunter as VP. And then we'd have two dull, unknown white guys running against Her Highness Hillary or rock star Obama. What do they offer the swing voters? There's a large segment of the voting block that is swayed by charisma, personality, name recognition, and star power. It's worse right now, given how unhappy the electorate is.
Your picks will fire up the base, and cede the center to the left. Which will make FR happy, but it won't work.

This presupposes that somehow electing a New York left wing liberal with an R is any better than electing a New York left wing liberal with a D simply to keep the GOP in power. The same GOP that has cut medicare spending and fixed the illegal immiagration problem (Oh wait, they DIDN'T do that)

that the WoT is the single most important issue facing this country today.
There are people who believe this - I'm not one of them, as I believe that unless our domestic policy house is in order, victories on the battlefield have little meaning. However, a soft on defense candidate like Rudy who has no military experience and used the terrorist attack on the Empire State building to call for more gun control in 1997 is hardly the fearless leader on the war on terror that we need.
A more logical choice is Duncan Hunter who is a Vietnam veteran, former chairman of the House Armed Services committee, and father of a young man who served two tours in Iraq.

If we get stuck with a POS like rudy as our candidate, we'll lose before the election is even held!
Every frickin day here, it's something new you have to hold your nose over regarding Rudy. Aren't you sick of that? I mean, he really is a disaster, but yet you (plural) still stick up for him. Doesn't it get really tiring fighting for a really bad cause?

To: Fierce Allegiance
and the MSM starts their attacks STARTS?? Have you been reading the anti-Rudy threads here especially at night? The MSM is non-stop Rudy bashing now. The only good posts about Rudy coming from the MSM are the poll numbers and once in a while a columnist who thinks Rudy is good enough to be president. You guys can take your pick of the MSM Rudy bashing stories. Just take a good look at all your posts and the posts of the other Anti-Rudy people - they are all the MSM trashing Rudy.

It is simply amazing what freepers who support Rudy consider "credible" new sources now.
To: areafiftyone
Duncan Hunter may be a decent guy, but he ZERO CHANCE of the getting the nomination and being elected POTUS. People who live in a fantasy world are generally regarded as being delusional.

The sad thing is that you think the article you posted is a selling point. Still not voting for Rudy.

No necessarily. A Fred Thompson could unite the GOP.Agreed. I could easily support a guy like Thompson.
[Don't think about Rudy's life long support for liberalism. It's only the (R) after his name that really matters. (S)]

And Bush jr. is doing it to all of us. Border control, illegals, anyone?

Steve Kornacki works as an organizer for Unity08, a group that advocates a bipartisan Presidential ticket in 2008. I went to the Unity 08 website looking for an explanation of this.
What do you mean by a Unity Ticket?A Unity Ticket will consist of a woman and/or man from each major party running for President and Vice President, or by independents who assemble a Unity Team from both parties.
How would you be able to be sure the ticket will consist of one Republican and one Democrat?
It is our plan that convention delegates would vote not for each office separately, but for the combined ticket. Each candidate for President would have chosen his/her candidate for Vice President before the balloting begins. (Independents may run for the nomination if they present a Unity Team from both parties.)
Sounds like a winner! Dem/Repub = Clinton/Giuliani or Giuliani/Clinton? Which do you prefer?

Republicans NEED someone who can talk like Ann Coulter, have the logic of Newt Gingrich, the courage of Ronald Reagan, and the gift of GAB like Dennis Miller..
The ONLY one anywhere close to that is Newt Gingrich.. ADD Giuliani as VeeP and you're talking a maybe there.. not a "fer sure" but a maybe.. Other than than "WE'RE SCREWED"..

Fred Thompson will help split it in halfThat is a joke, and a pathetic one at that.
Unlike Rudy, Fred clearly states that Roe is bad law. Unlike Rudy, Fred has actually supported a PBA ban. Unlike Rudy, Fred has not backstabbed pubbies when it suits him. Unlike Rudy, Fred supports Libby. Unlike Rudy, Fred has national experience.
And unlike Rudy, Fred hasn't pushed to take guns away. Or supported human-caused global warming.
Fred ain't perfect - he supported McCain-Feingold (like Rudy). But he is much closer to the center of the GOP than Rudy is. He would hold the party together. Your panic over Fred is telling - he would show Rudy to be the liberal Rudy truly is by comparison.
Of course, Fred will have to account for that scene in Baby's Day Out when he demands the crooks throw out the boo-boo. But that's a lot easier to deal with than images of Rudy in drag.
