I wouldn't vote for Rudy. One failed marriage is one thing, but SEVERAL? It's not really a moral issue for me, it's about stability and your ability to work with other people. A marriage is a small business, and a dramatic failure to work things out with your business partners, whom you have chosen, says something about your staying power, stability, planning and whether or not you can work and play well with others. I think that may be a killer issue for Rudy- since he has had a track record of being rather petulant and toddlerish when he doesn't get his own way- something you might expect of a man who can't seem to make a marriage work. And I imagine the focus on family crowd will have an even greater problem with him- unless their desire to win overwhelms their principles- but in this case, I'd say that would be a poor reason for them to flip on their issues. There must be a good republican candidate out there, but so far I haven't seen one who wants to run.

This is inside baseball stuff. I am not talking preferences. I am wearing my political analyst hat here and it makes sense to me that more americans hate bush because of incompetence and not matters of policy. The anti-war percentage splits between those who were against the war on policy and those who turned against the war because of incompetence (and incontenenace--see rummy prostate) and the many combinations of the two. The issues for the next president that americans will decide on are not solely how to get out of iraq the fastest. This is where the dems may make their fatal error and this is also where rudy gets his shot.
