Rudolph, the red-nosed candidate

Hearing Rudy stutter his way through Chris Matthews’ abortion questions at the GOP debate last week, I was pretty disappointed at the surprise GOP frontrunner and the one candidate who until then seemed worthy of the White House (though that worth has steadily declined since W took over).

Considering three of the ten republicans at the debate snootily raised their hands to negate the possibility of evolution and a slightly saner one digressed into a “hand of God” after giving a perfunctory nod to the Darwinian theory, I daresay this country needs to start considering candidates that deal with real issues before going in search of wonderland.

The former mayor did manage to put himself back on the pedestal (or fence, as some might call that precarious "middle") after re-iterating his pro-choice stance today at a Baptist University, no less.
