What Happened to Rudy?

At the beginning of this whole presidential campaign (which was what, four years ago?!), I supported Rudy Giuliani as the Republican nominee. So what happened to him??? Nada! I am really surprised that he has done so poorly in the primaries. I am from the Northeast, so I understand and forgive a bit of his liberalism, but I wonder if voters in the heartland could overlook his support for abortion, gay rights, and his lack of support for gun rights. So maybe it was wishful thinking on my part that others would also overlook his liberal views on certain issues near and dear to so many conservatives. In my opinion, his record in New York City on crime, cutting taxes, cleaning up the city, and getting rid of the squegee men should have been enough to get him nominated. Not to mention his tough stand against terrorism and support of Bush in fighting Islamo-fascism. But, his campaign has just fizzled. Too bad, I like Rudy, but I guess he just does not come across to conservatives outside the Northeast. In addition to his liberal views on some issues, he is Italian, Catholic, and has been married three times. So, his chances of actually winning the entire country in the general election, well, I guess it was always a long shot.

Condolezza Rice for VP

Here are my thoughts about the Republican nominee. I still believe it will be Mitt Romney. I think he is the one true conservative in the bunch, now that Fred Thompson is out. And Romney will probably be able to attract the moderate, independent and conservative voters in the Republican party. So, I think Mitt, should he win, should pick Condolezza Rice as his running mate. They would make a great ticket, and could really win the general election.

Campaign 2008

Well, we are in full swing for the 2008 campaign. And lots of interesting stuff is going on. At this point, I think Romney is going to be the Republican nominee. It might be too early to tell, but he seems to have the most staying power. And I never listen to the main stream media (MSM). They are wrong so much of the. What about the Democrat nominee? I think it will eventually be Barack Obama. But, again, too early to tell.
