Not one that would get a significant % of the national vote, but definitely enough of one to take some swing states away from him.
For example, if it's Guiliani vs. Hillary, I'd definitely bet on Hillary winning Arkansas thanks to the 3rd party right winger.
Get real, Harry.
I gotta agree with Harry on this one. Arkansas is not a GOP stronghold...yet. AR will be a complete tossup in this scenario. As it is, Rudy won't have quite the same appeal as a southerner that Bush did, and he didn't landslide AR even against Kerry!
I can only see Rudy carrying AR if he chose Huckabee as his VP.
Huckabee would not be a bad choice for Rudy. He will need to project some balance and a conservative from the South is a good choice. A governor also works if he wants to run from outside DC.
