Last night on Chris Matthews they were talking how the majority of registered Republican voters, wanted Rudy Giuliani to be their candidate.
It seems normal folks don't want the "Bush" like Republican next time round..Giuliani is socially liberal ( pro-choice, pro-gay rights )..So I think the party hardliners are going to have their work cut out for them as the big party "faces" are more Moderate Republicans..At least that's what the voters want.
What ordinary Republicans want won't matter to the Party elite, any more than what ordinary Americans want.
If Republicans want their party to stand for something more than gulags and kleptocracy, they are going to have to take back control of it.
