Well they are wrong, he is a very likeable Mormon.

New York Times wants McDole to be Republican Candidate to go against Clinton.

[LibLieSlayer]

I was siding with your post. If anything... I am passionate because I care about the Bill of Rights too much... but that is not a vice.

Chris Matthews has to be the biggest assclown I have ever heard.

Listen to him go on about guns.

And talking about being a Republican like it is a disease.

Grrr....

[bw17]

I agree with your assessment 100%.

[madison10]

Chris Matthews now asking Rudy- aren’t you UPSET about the NYT’s NOT endorsing you? Rudy LAUGHS!!

The LIBS don't get it...an endorsement by the NYT is a death-knell to winning the Presidency as a Republican.

[CedarDave]

I’m getting really p o’d at Tim and Brian.

Just now?? LOL

[Las Vegas Ron]

Time for a new party...GOP is histoier (is that French?) I’m going Constitutional Party

[1035rep]

Ditto

[CharlesWayneCT]

Nah, they’ve all already been spammed by the Paul supporters and all the democrats nutroots who vote against our best candidates.

[randita]

The swimmer, you say.

[varina davis]

Don’t think Rudy would stand a chance against Hillary and Bill; McCain would let his anger control him; Romney is the only one who could successfully debate her to a standstill and still come out looking like a gentleman and a president.

[AmericanMade1776]

I was watching Rudy, he answered good with Chris Matthews.

[what's up]

Is it just me or is this a new policy of endorsing candidates in both parties?

Don't remember NYT doing this in the past. I think they can't stand either Rudy or Romney, saw that their guy didn't so well tonite, so chose this moment to help prop him up.

[padre35]

And Ronald Reagen was also critisized for being “non intellectual”...IE the Gipper was stupid....

He who laughs last, laughs best....:)

[murphE]

After hearing all the snide questions I wish I had cracked open the two buck chuck no one ever drank,

What is this two buck chuck you speak of?

[claudiustg]

McCain didn’t do himself any favors tonight. I feel a little sorry for him actually.

I couldn’t be happier with Mitt. We knew all along what a great President he would make. A lot of folks beginning to see the light now!

[rayincolorado]

Cleaning my AK ... my good old second amendment special

[Shortstop7]

I’m listening. He is just shocked about the right of gun ownership. ??

[Clemenza]

Rudy 911 aint going anywhere. He is too greasy, and would essentially be a return to the good old days...of the Grant administration...
