No matter who actually gets the nomination from either party, I believe the 2008 election will be between Rudy Giuliani and Jimmy Carter, figuratively speaking.
At it's most basic level, the race will be between a Republican who is a hawk and a Democrat who is a Leftist and dove.
Since 2004 - and the nomination of arch dove and traitor John Kerry - the doves have controled the Democrat Party; the McGovernites have regained the control the DLC rested away from them in 1992. Jimmy Carter now gets a seat of honor at Democrat Conventions. His views and actions have never once been repudiated by a single one of the contenders for the Democrat nomination in 2008.
The polarity between today's GOP and today's Democrat Party is, I think, best illustrated by comparing Rudy to Jimmy:
Jimmy told us our best days were behind us. This was defeatism at home, and a rallying call for Big Government. (Not unlike Hillary.)
Rudy saved a city that many thought was ungovernable and in permanent decline.
Rudy has told them to take a hike - well in advance of the conventional wisdom at the time.Rudy has NEVER sucked up to Fidel. Jimmy has; Obama would. So would Edwards.
Jimmy has likened the democratic and pluralistic nation of Israel (where Arabs and Muslims havre MORE RIGHTS than any other place ON EARTH) to apartheid South Africa.
Rudy has unequivocally stuck up for Israel.
Jimmy and BJ Clinton APPEASED Kim and North Korea.
Rudy's foreign policy team has not one single appeaser.
Jimmy and his gang of Leftist doves would RAISE TAXES.
Rudy cut taxes in NYC! Unempl0yment and the MISERY INDEX went DOWN, just like under Reagan.Jimmy cut defense spending - as would the current crop of doves.
Rudy was a hawk on crime - raising the money spent for police (as he cut the size of the bloated liberal bureaucracy) ; he'll be a hawk on defense - AND SPENDING.
Jimmy is financed by the Arabs.
Rudy refused $10 million from them right after 9/11.THE CHOICE IS CLEAR: WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT, CARTER OR GIULIANI?
Here's a video reminder of just how effective and important Rudy was after 9/11:
I live in Manhattan. I was here on 9/11. LET ME TELL YOU: I'd rather have Rudy as President than Jimmy - or any other Democrat - as Mayor. IOW: Rudy - AND ALL OF THE LEADING GOP CONTENDERS - are ready to become the president.
Given the chance, ANY of the Democrat contenders would make AWFUL mayors.Think about it: The policies of the leftist doves - like Carter and Dinkins and Hillary and Edwards and Obama - couldn't save the city.
The policies of Rudy - and Reagan - did.

Great post!!!
Rudy vs. Jimmy is an interesting analogy, but the 2008 election is really going to be:
The Ghosts of Bush vs. anything non-Republican
Honestly, I think your only chance was McCain.
