Let Rudy be Rudy and run for Governor of New York and make a comeback. Get rid of that Kerik and ex-wife crap and move on.

Sorry about the Anonymous label. You are probably right about how Rudy campaigned for the nomination. Friends in New York tell me that the contrast between candidate Rudy for Mayor and candidate Rudy for President was like night and day. When Rudy ran for Mayor he was relentless and took no prisoners.

I don’t know if the change in Rudy as a candidate this time around was the result of advice from his advisors or came from Rudy internally. However, after viewing your posted CNN interview, it is obvious Rudy’s substantial ego is still in place.

All I can say is that when Rudy is on his game, no one can touch him when it comes to knowledge, rhetorical skill, demonstrated leadership and confidence.

What a shame and a waste of talented leadership that he is not our nominee.

Rudy could have beaten McCain if he had been left to be Rudy and not a softened version of a caricature. He could have dealt a death blow to Romney in New Hampshire even if he did not beat McCain. He just would NOT go negative.

You have to want to win and apparently he did not want it enough.

Is Rudy more qualified than McCain? You bet. He has much more executive experience and legal training.

I have endorsed Sarah Palin for Vice President and not Romney. But, have made some arguments as to why McCain may choose him.

But, with Team McCain now revamping under the leadership of Steve Schmidt, Palin may have a leg up. (Sorry about the pun, Governor)

By the way Flap, I assume you are not questioning the fact that Rudy is more qualified than McCain? With your recent support for Romeny ( the political fraud ) I just have to ask the question.
