What's the rush? This time in 1999, no one was close to officially entering the race yet.
IMO the early entry gambit was a mistake all around. Rudy's been knocking himself silly wrestling with the abortion issue. Why should Fred join him in the tarpits?
I’m not in any hurry. However, I will be supporting whomever becomes the (R) nominee, even if they are more liberal than I would like. I’d hold my nose and do it, because I’ve SEEN what the democrats have done to my community, and electing a (D) will be MUCH worse than even Guiliani.
