Philip, there will be a bevy of issues to consider in a year-and-a-half to two years, with (I’m sure) unexpected candidates and other surprises. And I don’t discount the possibility that Rudy could change his mind on some things after spending time talking to conservatives on the stump. After all, Romney has, so why not the mayor?
We’ll have to see what is weighing heaviest when the time comes. If we’ve had another three or four 9/11-like attacks by then, it changes priorities on a lot of issues.
