we know the positives

No one I'd rather hear as an inspirational speaker, but why isn't he running for Governor of New York instead? Giuliani has several strikes against him: twice divorced, comes from a SOLID BLUE state, and probably can't connect with voters living west of the Statue of Liberty. He'll run on domestic security, which might not be the best issue for us in '08! 3  out of 5 found this valuable. Do you?

Actually Rudy has a pretty good shot at it. He is a Centrist and the next person to go middle will be President be they a Democrat or a Republican.

Simple.

Republicans need to pick up Blue States while holding Reds.

Given the alternative of a Democrat, Southerners will indeed bring out the vote for Rudy.

The Republican Party is no longer one of unilateral Conservatism but one willing to embrace a number of problems head on.

I agree that broadening our base is the way to go. Inclusion, not exclusion. Votes are votes. Do we really want some ex-President's wife running our country? We need to be realistic and choose a candidate like Rudy who can appear to a wide spectrum of potential voters.

Do you think Rudy's Pro-Choice stance will hurt him at all with conservatives? Do you find this valuable?
