Giuliani blew it!
 
I am disappointed in Rudy. It was his race to lose, so he did. :(

I had been saying for years that Rudy would be our next President, but he just doesn't know how to pick a good campaign manager. His Senatorial campaign in New York was doomed as well, prior to dropping out for health reasons. Goes to show, you really shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.

Maybe Rudy is concentrating on NY. LOL.

stomachmonkey 01-29-2008 07:55 PM
he never had a chance.

I think six months to a year ago he was the guy to beat. I'm still trying to find the attraction of McCain, or any others for that matter.

Too little experience and way too much baggage.

I actually like what I see of Rudy but it's so damn much fun to watch Sean Hannity be wrong and to now watch how he will avoid mentioning his support of Rudy. Actually, maybe Hannity's support was Rudy's kiss of death!

We don't hear a lot about middle east punks so much anymore. Folks are not feeling the need for a serious clean-up crew, so much anymore. And, like in all things, I think that we can blame Bush for that. :cool:

giuliani was my fallback candidate. what the hell do i do now that i no longer have the option of "lesser evil"?

Timing is everything.......Rudy was riding the wave after 911 in New York. That wave is now barely a ripple...How soon we forget!!!!!

I think Romney is much stronger, particular with the economy, and stressing that, he can probably beat Hillary or Obama. For that matter, I don't think Hillary is a strong candidate for the Democrats, and can be beat by either Romney or McCain.

Amen!

I did a TEST on the Internet that asked a few questions. Based on the answers were the candidate that most agreed with your points of view.

1. Duncan Hunter
2. Thompson
3. Romney
4. McCain

And so on.

Funny how the lower on the scale, the more likely to be the candidate. Where's Goldwater when we need him? :cool:

Hugh R 01-29-2008 08:39 PM
96740, your right, look at Bob Dole, could you ever have come up with an older, more out of touch, unappealing candidate to the general population?

Well said.

I don't see that Rudy blew it as much as the times have (seemingly) changed.

I know you are asking Wayne but... It was probably Rudy. :confused:

Where did you do this test? It would be interesting for all of us to input our preferences and see what this thing spits out.

Well, when Mitt ran against Ted Kennedy during a better time he lost so I'm not sure why he would now beat Obama when the GOP is in some pretty deep trouble.

Hard to believe that Ron Paul would not either win or place very high in a test like that.

Hunter's campaign site, probably? ;)

How likely is it that people are tired of being reminded of 9/11? It is common that people like to push ugly memories out of their minds.

Give me a second, I'll try and find it.
