5. Rudy & Fred will cancel each other out. Mitt will step in.

Bush family hedges its bets for 2008
By Alexander Bolton
March 26, 2007


Much of Jeb’s inner circle has picked Romney. The list includes Sally Bradshaw, who served as Gov. Bush’s campaign manager in 1994 and 1998 and as his first gubernatorial chief of staff; Ann Herberger, who was the governor’s campaign finance director; and Mandy Fletcher, who recently headed Bush’s think tank, Foundation for Florida’s Future, and worked on his reelection. In addition, Alan Philp, Bush’s former policy director, is coordinating policy and issues for Romney.

Jeb Bush’s former lieutenant governor Toni Jennings, Al Cardenas, who served as Florida GOP chairman under Jeb, David Griffin, who headed Jeb’s second -term transition office and was the Florida Lottery Secretary, Sherri McVay, executive director of Jeb’s statewide advocacy council, and Kristy Campbell, the former governor’s press secretary, are all playing roles in Romney’s campaign.

17. That Rudy. What a cad.
If Willard doesn't post billboard ads of that image at every mile marker from South Carolina to West Texas, he's a fool.

And just for fun, I'd send a really huge poster of that pic to Jim Dobson. 'Here ya go, Jim. Somethin' to decorate that drab-ass office of yours.'

23. That would be cool as hell!
or a half a million of those little stick in the ground signs like the burma shave ad signs in the late fifties.

Little rows of signs, just barely in sight of each other, with lines of a haiku on each one of the set and a Rudy picture.

25. I'd contribute financially to a project like that, EST. Really. I think Giuliani
played the New York toughie and New York sophisto depending on which New York audience he was trying to schmooze.

I don't think he'll fare so well out in the great Republican heartland as he might have in Manhattan.

14. Well, accept my affirmations for your instincts on democracy based on
the nobility in your avatar.

If pressed to suggest two polar opposites of democratic representation in the United States, I think Dennis Kucinich would be a very sturdy example of the good guys and "america's mayor" a very convincing example of the bad guys.

6. He'll lose his primaries the same way our guys lost in general elections.
Rudy is a corporatist, but I think the investments firms he'll support are different then BushCo's

7. America's Mayor? He sure as hell ain't my mayor.
And I will make damn sure he is not my President either.

Please don't call him America's mayor, we never elected him and we don't want him.

8. Power And Fear Trump All
I didn't think Repugnicans would stick around for Rudy, but I've been finding out different in speaking with and canvassing Repugnicans and "Independents". These "value voters" value one thing about all else...power...and Rudy represents, to them, the best hope of holding onto their power.

They'll look the other way about Rudy like they did with booosh cause they see him as being the only one who can beat Hillary...and, that is their greatest fear. Remember, these are the biggest hypocrites the world has ever seen and who else says hypocrite better than Ghouliani?

20. That's interesting that you're picking up that fear-trumps-all sentiment
about their just wanting to hold onto power.

It was Bush's complete mismanagement of power that is threatening the power they hold.

They'd be better off withholding their support until the Republican Party does their will, which would appear at first to them to be beneficial, but would in the end eclipse them in the electoral college.

Right now our three frontrunners are running right alonside Rudy or defeating him outright, depending on which state is polling.

10. When someone mocks his speech impediment he'll quit.
And join the Abba Wawa/Tom Brokaw school of broadcasting.

Man, I can't imagine listening to him not pronounce his "L's" for 4 years. I'd go totally nuts.

15. You sound absolutely sound of mind to me, El Supremo. To tell you
the truth, I don't hear Giuliani's impediment as acutely as others seem to. Not sure why.

For me regarding Giuliani, it's not a matter of the speech impediment so much as his Thought Disorder, which tends toward the Stalinist temperament.

Kinda frightening.

13. I think this is a real possibility, and of course I don't wish it on him or on
anyone else, but his father died of prostate cancer.

There is a significant genetic component.

19. That's why he dropped out of the NY Senate race against Hilary.
If he's the GOP candidate against Hilary, it will flare up for sure.

21. Yes. It placed a far less-well-liked GOP nominee up against her, and she
dispatched him with little difficulty.

I think had Giuliani remained in that race, she would still have whupped him pretty good.

26. He is Counting on Another "Terra Attack" to Start the Iran War and Sweep Him Into Office
Edited on Sun Sep-16-07 09:25 PM by AndyTiedye
Even without one, he is polling too close to our candidates and could easily "win" with a little help from Diebold.

27. Other. The lopsided, snaggletoothed, arrogant...
pantload who wouldn't be MY Mayor even if he was the last mayor on earth will slowly sink into the morass of lies, rotting cash, and stench of unwashed odors not quite covered by the perfume on his pantyhose and be left to sneer and cavil at the feet of his betters, even an incredibly ugly actor more worthy than him, and then slowly fade away into that space where even footnotes to history disappear.

30. It sounds to me as if Mayor Giuliani doesn't have your vote in the primaries.
Sound judgment on your part, IMO.

31. Dear god, Wiley. If you've lived through Inhofe as Mayor, you must be
tough as nails.

You've just got to be a sturdy soul to withstand that kind of onslaught.

My hat's off to ye.
