Make The Choice
You may not like it, but the chances are pretty good (in my opinion) that this is the choice you'll have to make in November 2008. So what choice would you make today if this were your choice?

I don't believe this will be the 2008 pairing.
TS
FYI, I'm done voting for the GOP after Mr. Bush decided to allow 12-20 million illegal criminals citizenship.
I'll be voting for the independants.

I agree with TS; don't think that will be the 08 choice.
I'll vote independent before either of those two.

I'd vote for Giuliani, but that's because I think Clinton is the anti-Christ and must be defeated at all costs.
FWIW, I don't think this is going to be the ultimate pairing either. I think there are too many sexists and Hillary haters out there - its the first time in my life I'm totally banking on the sexist male population to hook me up.
On the GOP side... I'm a total hold-out and optimist and I can't believe that the extreme religious right will ever tolerate the left-leaning, twice divorced, Giuliani.
I shutter to think I'm banking on crazy people to make sure this is a decent ticket...

Hmmmm, perhaps we need a wager on who the nominees will be since you people don't think I know things . . . 
In any event, this poll is designed to test what our members will do if this ends up being the matchup, so please humor me.

I voted!
Once this quarter's fundraising dollars have been announced, I'll wager on who I think the nominees will be - even if I have to say "she-who-will-not-be-named." I figure once that happens, Thompson will have announced and more polls will have been taken, so there will be some real numbers to look at for a prediction.
However, I know nothing!

Primary
I still say the time to make your fight is in the primary election. For all levels, city, county, state and national. Find the most conservative candidates and support them there.
If they don't win, Oh, well. Bad as some in my party are they are still better than the other side.

Wondering how soon I'll have to start looking for Rush and Boortz on some underground pirate radio station.

All choices in the poll are lousy. (and could be actual choices)
Voting independent is how Bill Clinton got elected the first time. Given the above choices Giuliani is the only viable option. While I disagree with his abortion stand and despise his 2nd Amendment view he is the best pick of the above three IMHO. He is the most likely to step up the pressure against Islam and kill who needs to be killed. I think you have to be realistic, a third party candidate does not have the juice to win a presidential election today. I hope RL is wrong and we have a true conservative candidate to vote for. Short of that I will vote for the MOST conservative. My .02

Sir,
Agreed.
IMHO, the party has changed its values.

I am going to concur with the popular opinion here.
I do not think that this will be the pairing, I agree that the GOP under the leadership of the POTUS has abandoned its core values, and I will probably stay at home if those are the nominees or vote for an independent. Fred is already jumping in the polls without spending a dime. Even if he does not raise the kind of money Romney has (for all of the good it is doing him), he can run effectively with small internet donations, ala Dean. After all, it is four years later, and the game has changed further.
Frankly, I do not see much difference between Rudy and Hillary's positions. One would be as bad as the other.
Since you seem to be a big Giuliani fan, Counselor, where exactly do he and Hillary disagree, other than in their party affiliation?
Then explain how he is going to win when a third of his party stays home or votes for an Indy.

I would have a similar opinion on the real lack of separation of the two. Rudy G. appears on the surface to be a large wooden elephant being rolled up to the gates of the city.
