If someone were to put a gun to my head today, I'd vote for Giuliani, but otherwise, I'm very undecided. I'm not crazy about Rudy G, but I'd do it as a last resort if there's no better choice. So far, the issue is who's better than him? Huckabee's coming on strong, but I just don't know enough about the guy yet.
Fred Thompson will not get my vote at this point. The guy just seems lazy to me, and the blurb on Drudge the other day about him saying he doubts he'll be elected --- well, if you don't believe you'll win, why should I waste my time?? You're not a candidate of such lofty ideology (i.e., Ron Paul's libertarianism, however flawed he may be personally and his views on 9/11), so the vote on principle is no good on FT. Basically, he looks the part and has a commanding voice and some rhetorical skills -- other than that, I just don't see much there. I'm still open, though. But, if first impressions matter....... no, thanks.
