so would Rudy spark a 3rd party conservative? Could he get 'Nadered'? If so who would that candidate be and how strong could he be?  Could a strong southern cultural christian conservative possibly pick up a number of Bible belt states in a Rudy v Hillary race?

and could this possibly lead to the GOP finally splintering between its Religious Right/Social Conservative and its more Libertarian/Fiscal Conservaitve wings?

rudy may be a paper tiger. I think he will get 'swiftboated' and some one is going to trot out the NYPD and NYFD to say real nasty things about him.

just imagine the commercial with the crying widow surrounded by NYFD 'hero of 9/11' firefighters talking about what a bad man Rudy is. How many people even know they hate his guts. They were wearing No to Rudy buttons at their convention and he was the only candidate they didnt invite.

if Karl Rove tought political operatives anything...attack your opponents strength. If you want to take Rudy down you got to take away 9/11. After that he is just a cross-dressing big city east cost liberal mayer with a lot of ex wives
