I think you are wrong. This immigration issue could pull the Reagan Democrat types to vote for the right candidate. Pelosi may control the pols in the House with her mob machine methods, but she does not control the voters. There are lots of workers, blacks, and Hispanics who are directly impacted by this problem and might well vote for the right Republican who was tough on immigration. I do not think Giulani is that man, however.
You see the possibilities in the concept of conservatives freeing themselves from the Republican party - and of moderate and conservative Dems freeing themselves of the moonbats in their party. But if not Rudy who in your opinion of the 19 candidates running is the right person to create this new voting bloc and get enough people in both parties to vote for him as to create instant clout?
