Does Rudy stand a chance???

[8182KSKUSH]

Just wondering if any of the cannabis.com members think Rudy Giuliani's decision to "bet the farm" on Florida will pay off, or do you think he should have gone the traditional campaign route like the rest of the candidates?:stoned:

He did, but unless he's got an old converted Dolorean that runs on plutonium he ain't gonna make it now.:thumbsup:

Sounds like he's dropping out in support of McCain. Possible V.P. talk in the background?

Have a good one!:s4:

I think that's a much more likely possibility than McCain/Romney, the more I watch those two go at each other. I think that's the best Rudy can hope for now, too.

I think a Romney ticket would include Huckabee.......just a feeling.

Have a good one!:s4:

Romney and McCain are not likely to share a ticket. I think Giuliani and McCain might want to share a ticket, but I'm not sure if it will actually happen. If McCain gets the nomination, his biggest problem will be that he doesn't really appeal to the more conservative Republican base. Neither does Giuliani. So I think he would try to pick someone who might add some balance to the ticket and bring in someone who would appeal more to conservatives. Although, McCain is a sort of a maverick and may ditch the idea of balance and go for whoever he wants. Who knows? This has been a wild race so far!

I think McCain's "in Iraq for 100 years" will torpedo him in the general election if he gets the republican nomination no matter who he chooses as a running mate.

i personaly think mccain is the repubs best choice for the nomination. he can pull the independent vote and a lot of the demacratic vote. and lets face it the hard core conservatives will vote for him just because hes a repub. cause you know it would be a cold day in hell when they vote for hillary or obama. hell even i think if it came down to mccain vs. hillary id go mccain. but if it comes down to romney vs. satan id vote for satan. romney just flat scares the crap outa me.

now as far as rudy goes i think hes just kidding himself if he thinks he still has a chance at gettin the nomination. he may however be trying for VP, that also kind gives me the willies as he scares me too but not as much as mitt.

I like McCain and I think he would be the bet Republican choice too. You are right that conservatives would vote for him over any Dem, but they might not go to the polls at all, which would hurt the bid for the Whitehouse as well as Republican Congressional and Senate candidates running in the same election

I'm a registered Democrat, but I don't necessarily vote a party ticket, and I would vote for McCain under some circumstances:

Obama vs. McCain --- vote for Obama
Obama vs. Romney --- vote for Obama
Clinton vs. McCain --- vote for McCain
Clinton vs. Romney --- vote for Clinton

Obama vs. McCain --- vote for Obama
Obama vs. Romney --- vote for Obama
Clinton vs. McCain --- vote for McCain
Clinton vs. Romney --- vote for Clinton

Funny, that's exactly how I would vote. I just think Romney is the biggest sleazebag salesman I've ever seen, and Clinton is a manipulative (semi?) sociopath. Huckabee goes way too far wanting to make a constitutional amendment banning all gay marrage and abortion; makes me think he's a real religious extremist.

I agree with your take on Romney and Clinton. They both are very calculating and not very genuine. I get the impression that what you see is a front, and when I look past that front, I do not like what I see. Romney is a smarmy prick, and I just have a vsceral dislike of Clinton, even though it's hard for me to say exactly what it is.

My hope would be to have a choice between Obama and McCain. Then I think I could be happy either way. If it came down to a choice between Clinton and Romney, then I would just be choosing between the lesser of two weasels.
