I was one of...just about everyone...who said that if the Al Gore who gave the concession speech after the Supreme Court verdict had been the one who ran against Gee Dub in 2000, he'd probably be tapping the Tipper on Pennsylvania Avenue right now.
But he got too ambitious, lost his way, and let others guide him through the campaign.
And we ended up with a shell of the man who I really don't have an enormous problem with.
I've posted here before that I think it's a mistake for Rudy to run on this terrorism platform, especially one that calls into question the dedication or ability of those on the other side of the aisle to deal with as well as Republicans. History has little support for his contention.
Thanks to my friend, Cody, I have linked up a speech Rudy gave when he was Mayor of NYC in 1994 on crime at a NY Post seminar.
Read through it and comare the decisive Rudy then to the one who, when asked about Roe v. Wade the other night, sounded like a nervous junior high kid trying to decide if he likes or Likes-Likes a girl.
Come back, Rudy. Be your own man again. Even if you lose, you won't have to live the rest of your life wondering what would have happened if you hadn't sold out. Just ask former Vice President Al Gore how it feels.

There are many, many things that can be done in law enforcement to protect us better. There are many things that can done to create a government that is more responsive and more helpful. The fact is that we're fooling people if we suggest to them the solutions to these very, very deep-seated problems are going to be found in government. . . .
