It’s possible.

As a Manhattanite, I say, “Don’t worry about it.”

Yeah, Rudy’s evil to the extent that all authoritarian Republicans are evil. On the other hand, at least he’s not a conservative, and supports gay rights and abortion rights.

Both stances meaning he can never get the Republican nomination. NYC polls extremely differently from the rest of the country. Republican consultants have commented upon it in the Times, though I haven’t mention of it recently.

Anyhow, the upshot is that the Republican party thinks all New Yorkers (City, not Bridge and Tunnel) are nuts. A conservative Republican can’t win in the city, and a liberal Republican can’t win with the base.

So, I wouldn’t get myself too concerned about it if I were you. No matter how well Rudy may be polling with Pugs now (and by the way, the GOP should really change its mascot from an elephant to a Rottweiler), his numbers will sink like a stone once he gets into the primaries; his Republican opponents will tar him as a homo-loving, baby-killing liberal.
