A Guilani-Gingrich ticket is truly scary

[Perky]

Largely because it can be sold as restroing competence to the GOP. Don't laugh... It might be there best electoral shot.

It might piss off the fundiess but moderate voters could be suckered in.

1. both of them have a lot of "Cheney" in their personalities

and no, I'm not laughing.

2. I'm not worried too much about Newtie

Newt does really well in a hard-right congressional district, but I can't see him playing nationally. He's a nut job. He and Giuliani would also have a lot of fun fighting over who has the worse marriage record. I can't imagine the two of them being able to complete a campaign cycle without one or the other being involved in an adultery scandal.

4. Yep. Rudy will be a hard sell with social conservatives

3. Gingrich is kryptonite

He would kill any candidate's chance of winning, and he will not be a factor. He is much like Ann Coulter, without the vulgarities. He looks after himself first, party second. He had his day and blew it. Another republican has-been, like Tom Delay, Denny Hastert, Jack Abramhoff.
They are still trying to eke a living out of screwing Americans.

5. If their ex wifes vote and their lawyer they should have an edge.

I really am not a fan of either.

6. There are several Republicans who will trigger an immediate

move to Canada for me if they should win in 2008. Guiliani/Gingrich is the scariest combination yet.

7. Sounds practical on paper, but I don't see it working.

They are two peas in a pod. Newt would want to be Dick Cheney and Rudy doesn't share power or the spotlight with anyone. They both would have illusions of being president.

8. one thing in their favor..Neither is terribly bright..who does that remind you of???n/t

9. nothing is a scary as bush-cheney. no combination is as insane and heartless.

[marmar]

10. It certainly would provide a good argument against straight marriage....

:think:

11. I don't agree.

That ticket would be target rich. There's enough dirt in their backgrounds to disgust a significant number of voters.

12. I would LOVE to see that ticket . . . they'd be toast from the get-go . . . n/t

[soothsayer]

14. exactly! those boys are tainted in ways that are very easy to show.

[BlueManDude]

13. I think Giuliani would precipitate a 3rd party from the right

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. I'll bet he's had his share of "three-ways" in his day

Rudi, you rascal, you.
