Rudy will NOT get the nomination.
Your beloved GOP is not about to nominate some pro-abortion, twice divorced, balding Noo Yawk Eye-talian.
Rudy has a ton of dictatorial and pro business policies that leave him open to all manner of criticism once the campaign gets underway, which is is not likely to do, because he won't get the nomination.
The Mormon Church has been collecting God's money for over a century, and somehow God hasn't actually spent much of it. Romneys' got the deeper pockets, but he is not likely to win.
So he was a semi-decent mayor. So what? NYC is not the USA, it's not even typical of the rest of NY State.
It matters not one whit that he leads in polls, which I doubt.
Thanks to the incompetent blundering warmongering Juniorbush and Cheney, the Republicans are DOOMED in 2008. The stink of death and decay is upon then, and yea, they shall not prevail.
Unless they steal the election. THAT is a possibility.
