I know nothing of the kind. Rudy has sufficient support from both groups.

And his crossover appeal will more than compensate for those on the Right who will reject Rudy and instead place their de facto vote for hillary clinton.

After Bush, this country will NEVER go for a right-wing ideologue. I do concede, however, that Thompson does not come across as a right-wing ideologue.

But Thompson seems moderate because, at his core, he is moderate. After all, he learned at the knee of Howard Baker. (Perhaps this explains his easy disregard for the First Amendment.)

Mia t: So the real concern is "right wing ideologues" which is the term that means "principled and committed on issues" when uttered by Rockefeller types (lusting after the almighty dollar in the form of jobs and contracts) back when they assured us that Reagan could NEVER be elected as such a right wing nut. Oh, wait!....

If you think Dubya is a right wing ideologue, I think that must be really good stuff you are smoking but it distorts your perception of reality.
