Freepers for Rudy

The folks over at Free Republic take up the question from my last post: Rudy or McCain?

According to the new Giuliani Blog, the Freepers prefer America's Mayor:

Charlie Cook and the BDBM (Brain-Dead Beltway Media) say there's no way for a pro-abortion rights, pro-gay rights Republican to win the nomination. It's not a conclusion with which I agree, but if you're going to believe that, at least be consistent and also admit that a pro-amnesty, pro-tax RINO like John McCain has no chance.

...

Now, to be fair, this group [that would be the Freepers] isn't thrilled by either Rudy or McCain. But Rudy seems far more acceptable to them. A sizeable percentage say they'd abandon the party if McCain were the nominee. A smaller subset say that about Giuliani. Not a single one says they'd support McCain over Rudy.

They also reprint some of the comments.

Giuliani Blog (with a slick logo, I must say -- is this run from inside America's Mayor World Headquarters?) seems to be a fairly comprehensive roundup of all things optimistic when it comes to the prospects for Rudy winning the GOP nod in '08.
