Why won’t Rudy fans like this?

This is what the article says:
***********************************************************

Those of us who were looking to Fred Thompson as the fiscal and social conservative who could wrestle the GOP mantle away from hizzonor are becoming increasingly alarmed by the efficiency of the Giuliani campaign. As I wrote a few months ago, just as Democrats must find a way to turn red states blue, the converse is also true, and Rudy could change the color of the map radically. Consider the electoral vote-rich states that could fall into the GOP column with Giuliani as the nominee: California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and, of course, New York. That’s a strong temptation to many Republicans who simply want to win.

Giuliani is leading in most polls largely due to his record as a tough mayor who cleaned up America’s biggest, dirtiest city and because of his leadership in the aftermath of 9/11. The war against Islamist fanaticism demands an alternative to Hillary Clinton. Rudy Giuliani firmly believes he is that alternative. An alarming number of Republicans seem to agree with him.
**********************************************************

This then is the key. Turning Blue States Red. Rudy appears to have the ability to do this and it is the key to WINNING.

Thompson-Guiliani or Guiliani-Thompson, if it were to happen might be the best chance we have of preventing a democrat from sitting behind the desk in the Oval office.

What about turning red-states blue when the Republican base takes a walk?

Dream on buddy, it'll never happen. Conservatives will vote 3rd party & liberals in those states will just vote for the Dim.

Recent polling from last week shows Rudy losing in New York to both Hillary and Obama by 20+ points.

Also, polling from Massachusetts shows Romney losing to both Hillary and Obama by 20+ points.

So much for blue turning red - that’s a RINO pipe dream.

Guiliani is a divider not a uniter.

Guiliani is only for the anti-christian, anti-religious crowd. Think RINO women.

Rudy only gets money from liberals not from conservatives and only from big donors.
