Reply #12: "The Republicans want a nonthreatening looking person that they will prop up as a potemkin." [View All]

Sounds like you're describing Fred Thompson to me.

I predicted Giuliani was going to be the next president, back in 2005 when he hooked up with Bracewell & Patterson and Patrick Oxford.

Right now he is the leading Rep. candidate for the nomination. He's got an average of about 5 points over Thompson.

Rasmussen says that, of a sample of registered Republicans, Giuliani has a 75% favorable rating.

We'll see if his endless supply of money can be used to persuade the remaining 1/4 of Republicans to vote for him.

The only way I can see the Religious Right getting fired up to vote for Rudy is if he will be running against Hillary.
(Although, right now she's leading a head to head general election polling by 5 points.)
