You perfectly get my point. No one can score if you strike out the batter in front of you. And we have an enemy who trumps ALL other issues right now. ALL of them.

I'm pro life. I'm pro my life, and my family's lives, first and foremost. If Rudy's the candidate, he'll get my FULL support.

So, okay, you’ve joined the dividers and you sneer at social conservatives. What else is new?

Do you believe that NONE of the other candidates in the Republican field would fight the War on Terror?

I don’t get the posters who say that Rudy is the “only hope” to fight the WOT. He won’t win the nomination anyway.

I know it’s just an analogy, and they are never perfect, but you could well strike out a person and lose the game. The person on third could steal home. The person on first could steal 2nd, and then the catcher could miss the 3rd strike while the batter swings and then runs to first.

If it’s only one out, it might be more important to keep the guy on 2nd, and maybe you would be better to WALK the batter (Oh No, giving in to the other team!!!!), so that you have a chance for a double play or a force-out at third.

Baseball, as boring as it is, does have a degree of strategy, just like politics.
