5. If They Go With Freddy Or Huckleberry At Least They Hold The Base
Then the Pugs need to run a "base plus" campaign that they (and) us are extremely comfortable with... They have been doing a slightly better job, until 2006...

IMHO, Rudy and The Mittster put their base in jeopardy in a desire to court "moderate" voters...

8. I agree. His lack of integrity coupled with the near unlimited power * has garnered is a very
dangerous combination.

There are a lot of bigots out there who will only vote for an older white male. Romney is just the guy who they can close their tiny little minds from the reality of and vote for.

What's that old saying about those who seek power for power's sake?
I'll try and look it up.

2. I'm thinking "Paper Tigress"
Love TDS's comedically over the top prediction: "He will divorce his 3rd wife and marry a man named Nine-Eleven."

3. Yes and no.
From his tenure as mayor of NYC, he is both bluster and belligerence.

Bluster as he shoots off his mouth in order to look like a tough guy who shouldn't be messed with.

Belligerence as he made policies that repress residents of the five boroughs like arresting jaywalkers, graffiti artists, and squeegee guys, and making welfare mothers work for free (at the expense of firing union civil workers) in order to keep their benefits.

4. Plus I don't think we've seen all the skeletons come out yet....
Rudy's subsistence after 9/11 (and for all I know before too) has been through grift and graft, none of that has really been revealed yet.

6. Oh, it's been revealed all right...just not in the mainstream
The Village Voice has certainly done a good job of revealing the "real rudy."
