I have no real evidence of that rumor, but I thought I'd share it anyhow.

When it comes down to it, I fear a lot of Republican voters will vote "who is the candidate who can best protect us from the scary brown people?" and a lot of them will think it's Giuliani. We'll see. Hope I'm wrong.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022494336441129718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-89700666131522432502007-05-10T11:57:00.000-07:002007-05-10T11:57:00.000-07:00I agree with LTG.

Add to this Giuliani's other personal baggage (affairs, divorces etc) and I think he is only doing well in the polls because either Republicans haven't seen the ads that Brownback, Romney and Huckabee are going to run against him or because the polls are asking too broad a spectrum of voters. <BR/><BR/>I think the Religious Right has a veto over candidate selection in the GOP. Will it be good for the GOP to have a high profile pro-choice candidate? Perhaps. But it will be bad for the GOP WHEN he gets shredded. <BR/><BR/>RBRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-53402423820784820282007-05-10T10:34:00.000-07:002007-05-10T10:34:00.000-07:00The best thing for the Democrats is for the Republ...The best thing for the Democrats is for the Republicans to tear each other apart over abortion. A majority of Americans are pro-choice. By making it okay for Republicans to question the abortion platform, it will encourage moderates to bolt the party when the inevitable happens: the majority of the religious right <BR/><BR/>The candidate who emerges is going to be the one who accords with the opinions of the median voter. The median Republican voter is more right wing today, more fundamentalist Christian, than at any time in the past, because there was a falloff in moderates in 2006. Therefore, the chances of a pro-choice candidate emerging are the lowest they have ever been.The Law Talking Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886791396468512490noreply@blogger.com
