Great. You'd pick either the man with no beliefs (who told his campaign workers in New Hampshire, "promise them anything to get their vote"), who changes his position on the issues more often than John Kerry ever thought of, or a bully who can't stand dissenting opinions.

Mitt was an ineffective governor here in Massholia, he disappeared once he started fixating on the White House (while all the time denying he was running for president), and he did a complete 180 on most of his views in order to pander to the right wing of the Republican party.

Rudy was sued on First Amendment grounds 27 times while he was mayor, and lost 23 times. He goes out of his way to bully those who disagree with him...and not just other politicians. He does it to ordinary people like us. Put him in Washington and you have a recipe for disaster. Governing and making laws requires tact, diplomacy and a willingness to compromise. The instant one Congress-critter tells Rudy that he's full of s**t, Rudy will have a fit and attempt to retaliate. What's worse, his hair-trigger temper doesn't belong anywhere within a hundred miles of the "football" (the large briefcase containing the controls to launch nuclear warhead strikes against enemies), which is never more than a few feet away from the president.
