“Your choices are voting for a Republican who will lie to you”
I take it that means you think Rudy will win the nomination?
Rudy started lying with his fancy schmancy abortion talk but then realized that just telling people where he stood on this and other issues was the only way to go. He often says stuff I disagree with, so I know he stopped lying. But I do think he can win the war in Iraq and beat back the forces of Islamofascism. And that does count for something with me, at least in 2008.
I think it’s his to lose. McCain is past it. A huge percentage of people either think Romney is a slick flip-flopper or won’t vote for a Mormon. If Fred Thompson and/or Newt Gingrich get into the race this all will probably change. There’s also a school of thought that says Thompson and Gingrich will force McCain and Romney to go at each other tooth and claw to survive as the other conservative in the top tier, leaving Rudy to float above the fray. You already saw a hint of this at the second Republican debate. The end result is they will bloody each other so much neither will be electable.
