Giuliani and Paul have one very important thing in common... By JB Williams Nov 9, 2007
It might be the only thing the two have in common, other than their shared favor in the press. But what they have in common takes precedence over all of their differences, at least in the eyes of the leftist press.
They are the only two Republicans who guarantee a divided conservative vote in 2008. Like in 1992 and 1996, when former cheater-in-chief Bill Clinton won the White House against the will of more than 50% of American voters, by way of a conservative electorate divided by Ross Perot, Hillary needs a divided conservative vote in order to win in 2008.
No matter who you like, there is no doubt in any conservative mind, that the leftist press is very pro-Hillary. If a blind poll were taken across the American press, Hitlery would get more then 80% of the press vote.
So they must have a damn good reason for pushing any Republican candidate, and they do.
They love Rudy because…
In part, Rudy is the social liberal of the Republican Party. This means that they can still get most of their leftist social agenda through even if Hillary loses, so long as Rudy wins. He’s a good second choice for social liberals. But even more important is the fact that while he leads the field, he leads with only 30% or less of the conservative vote. This guarantees a divided conservative electorate in 2008 and that’s what makes Rudy a favorite in the press.
Rudy can’t defeat Hillary if he can’t unite conservative voters, and he can’t. Rudy supporters really need to take a close look at this reality.
