Do you think Republicans are predictable in

their nominations? Because if that is the case, then Rudy G will likely be the nominee. There are way too many Republicans who hate McCain and despite his high polling, it will be surprising if McCain gets the nomination.

Therefore, if Rudy G is the nominee, the Democrats need to put things in place to beat Rudy. Polling currenlty shows that Rudy beats every democrat in the field. This is very troubling.

1. Republicans don't matter any more. All the old guard will move

to Libertarians or some version of it.

2. The 28% nutburgers seem to be behind Romney.

9. Someone on Tucker Carlson said that *W* and his sister is backing Romney...n/t

3. Look for Brownback or Huckabee (religious right still controls the party)

4. Sorry - No Rudy For You

Rudy is an abrasive asshole. Too much of an abrasive asshole even for New Yorkers - they were sick of him by the time he left Gracie Mansion.

Once people outside of NYC get a real sense of him, they'll flee.

I suspect that the Republicans will ruin the fun by impeaching Bush and Cheney, and setting someone else in office. Condi perhaps? Whoever they put in the Chimperor's throne would be the likely Rethug nominee.

5. I think only a bushie could win the primary in '08.

Last week Tucker Carlson said the evangelicals want Jeb Bush.

6. unfortunately JEB will be the VP

nominee for whoever.

8. I could see that.

Then they'll off the president making Jeb the president.

They tried it with Reagan. Hinkley's dad was an oilman who was a friend of the Bushs.

7. How to solve Rudy?

Interns, lots of sexually adventurous interns will do the trick.
