The election is over a year from now and the real Republicans have yet to beat Rudi back into the piece of sh_t he is. Does anyone think that a Roaming Catholic, pro choice mayor of an Eastern seaboard city can survive those thugs? Single issue voters like the anti abortionists will have this little mafiaso dude for an appetizer. Albeit one without transfats. If he survives that round can you honestly see some freedom first cowboy from Utah pressing the lever for this guy??? They may stay at home in droves, which is a whole different topic, but I find it well neigh impossible to see the Republican West getting out the vote for Rudi. And don't even start on thoughts about Texas, unless they can find a Texan to be his running mate... like Kennedy 'chose' Lyndon Baines Johnson. Hey maybe Rudi could draft George W. Bush as his running mate...
If this is the state of the Republicans maybe we can win even given that we always seem to find a way to lose. Oh by the way I am a Midwesterner, size 12 1/2 shoe and you would have to break my fingers (all ten) to get me to vote for a Republican.
