Thank you for parroting Dick Morris’ talking points, almost verbatim from Hannity last night. These poll numbers will be water in the desert in November 2008. Rudy will face a depressed Republican turnout and a strong third party conservative challenge that will bleed votes from him like a hemophiliac. Rudy will not be a lock to carry any state, because of the split his nomination will engender in the GOP. For these reasons, he is the one Republican Hillary is sure to defeat. The MSM wants to achieve this result. Why is this not self evident to you?
Dick Morris is a political chameleon, who got this start working for the Clinton’s. Yet people are all too willing to accept his now self professed hatred for Hillary. I think it is just as reasonable to assume that his promotion of Rudy is designed to set the Republicans up for a certain defeat and thus reinstall his old boss (Bill) in the White House.
Well - I did not mean (or intend) to use Dick Morris’s talking points. Honest.
As to your claim that Rudy will split the Republican party.
Possibly.
I have said a number of times that such a split, if it occurs, might be needed and healthy - in the long term.
I would not object to seeing the GOP pendulum swing more toward the center - and away from a strict social conservative mantel. It might be healthy.
That’s politics - a system of constant realignment with the circumstances of the times.
Ok - I plead guilty of supporting Rudy.
Now - I will also support the final GOP nominee under all circumstances.
That's why all these NY libs are pushing Rudy, they want Hilliry.
