#1 This is one of the main reasons that it should be Rudy. Listen, I'm as socially conservative as they come, but it's not rocket science to see that abortion is in the hands of the Court (not the Executive Branch), Stem Cell Research will (hopefully) scientifically work it's magic w/o embryos, gay marriage will also be (ultimately) decided by an overactive judiciary, and I don't think anyone can really shove gun control down this country's throat again. Of the above 4 issues (abortion, stem cells, gay marriage and guns), 2 will be decided by the courts (Rudy has said he'd nominate judges in line with Dubya's nominations, and I take him at his word), 1 (stem cell research) will be open for spinning and yammering by "scientists" and "experts" until the population settles it, and the last one seems to be Rudy's weak point. But, even on that one, he's said he'd not take the same approach NATIONALLY that he did in the City.

That leaves 1 final issue, the WoT. NO ONE touches Rudy in that arena in my book. Add on top of all that the fact that Americans want a CEO in the Oval Office, not a Legislator, and that knocks out McCain. In fact, I believe we have to go back to JFK to find an ex-Senator who's made it to the White House. Most of the others have been Governors or served in the Executive Branch. But, this is all just my $.02.

#2 The bottom line is that ANYONE is better than Hillary The Ruthless Freak, Obama The Chameleon, Gore the Whore, Sir Edwards the Idiot or any other loser that the Democrats will shove forward.
