I doubt that. Rudy will be seeking to keep as much support from the right as he can, while Hillary will owe nothing to the right, and everything to the left.
I doubt there are more than a half dozen potential judges in NY that are conservative. What choice did Rudy have?
What makes you think Rudy’s political strategy will differ from Arnold’s?
If he loses, he’ll blame right wing extremists who sat out the election. If he wins, he’ll assume he drew in more ‘centrists’ than he lost on the right - and will govern without giving a rat’s rear end for the social conservatives.
I was fooled by Dole. I wasn’t fooled by Arnold, but many were. I won’t be fooled by Rudy.
With the exception of Ron Paul, I’d vote for any of our candidates - except Rudy. And no, I’m not a far right extremist.
If Hillary is elected, we’ll pick up a lot of seats in the House & Senate, and have a strong candidate in 2012. If Rudy is elected, the GOP will continue drifting - while Rudy pulls us as far left as he dares.
