in recent memory than Rudy? Less than six months ago conventional wisdom was that he had the nomination pretty much sewn up, destined to become the first pro-choice Republican on the ballet. Now he's scrapping for third place in the first primary in which he's chosen to compete. His political strategists should be sued for fraud.

If anything, this campaign has shown that Rudy has immensely poor judgment, which should eliminate any rational person from supporting his bid.

Rudy's campaign reminds me of a campaign for freshman class president in high school. A guy in our school named Tom Kim (nice, smart guy by the way) ran on the slogan of "Vote for me. I'll do good."

Tom didn't get many votes.

Rudy's campaign has about all the pizazz of Tom's.

I thought Rudy was always a longshot. No service except mayor. Liberal on many issues that are frankly deal breakers for conservatives--abortion and gun rights.

Surely he is not the first Pro-choice Republican "on the ballet" ya'll have got the Log Cabin Republicans don't you? Speaking of which, what exactly goes on in that Log Cabin? And isn't the word Log rather an unfortunate image for this type of group.

Whoops. I got creeksteritis there for a minute.

I think the Log Cabin folks got the name from the belief that Abe Lincoln wouldn't mind a Larry Craig toe tap.
