As for Rudy, the Dobson cult will run a third party candidate who will siphon off the evangelical vote or keep them home. Unless the GOP pulls off some more of its dirty tricks to keep minorities and Democrats from voting - or changes the allocation of the electoral college in California, enjoy the next 4 years of a Democratic Leadership.

It doesn't matter who the Republican candidate is, they all want the same thing, eliminate the middle-class. Make the rich richer, keep everyone else poor enough to serve them and contract anything and everything out to corporations. These are the same corporations that are being bought out by foreign interests. Problem is, a report compiled by a House of Representatives panel earlier this year found that government spending on contracts rose by 103% between 2000 and 2005. Additionally, even with the rupee gaining on the dollar, Indian outsourcing companies are predicting increases for next year from 35%, by the second largest company Infosys Technologies Ltd., to 127% by iGate Global Solutions Ltd., a mid-size outsourcing company. They're talking about billions of dollars in profits and have already added thousands of workers to keep up with demand. The expect to add thousands more. If Republicans are elected, you can kiss your jobs and benefits goodbye. The one ray of hope is that America has already realized this given how the mid-term elections went. Who cares!

Yes. If GOPers are hoping for Clinton, Dems are chomping at the bit to tear Giuliani down.

Personally I think Huckabee is a lock for that because Giuliani needs the heartland/fundamentalist creds. But there is one possible shock coming- is it conceivable that McCain, once he is out of the campaign (and too old to wait for next time) would consent to be Giuliani's running mate? Could Clinton possibly beat such a combination? And so, with Thompson's post-candidacy endorsement, begins the positioning for the Veep spot on Giuliani's ticket.
