Giuliani - The End of the Republican Party?
There is much talk about Giuliani these days.

He is shown at the strongest Republican Candidate out there (alongside McCain). The ONLY one out there who can beat the presumptive Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton.
Now don't get me wrong. I don't believe for a second that Rudy will be the candidate. There are several reasons for this.
The Catholics Likely Response. This Pro-Abortion Catholic will not cut the mustard! This is the point that I originally set out to write about. A Republican Pro-Abortion/homosexual Catholic Politician like Rudy will get KILLED by the Catholic voters (i.e. no support). The Catholic Right will not vote for him because of his stances on partial-birth abortion and homosexual marriage. The Catholic Left will not support him because the democratic candidate will be pro-abortion without the history of kicking the homeless out of the streets and cutting social services.
The end of the Republican Party? Not likely, even if Rudy is the candidate. However, don't expect the conservatives who jumped ship to all return to it. Those who do return would not trust the party leadership as much - resulting in less volunteer hours and donations. Over time this could prove to be a mortal wound!
enough for now!

Now don't get me wrong. I don't believe for a second that Rudy will be the candidate. There are several reasons for this.
- First of all, despite his many efforts, he has been out of the limelight for the past four years. Sorry, but head of the U.S. Olympic delegation and leading panels relating to security do not cut the mustard.
- Second, Giuliani is a rabid pro-abort and a pro-homosexual activist! I do not use these terms lightly. Remember, when he was running against Hillary for the NY Senate seat Planned Parenthood could not decide between the two. He also did not support a partial birth abortion ban, but had made statements in the past supporting homosexual marriage.
- Third, he has a ton of personal baggage. This guy had a long term extra-marital affair and then divorced his wife. I don't think people want a home-wrecker in the white House as first lady.

You seem to be forgetting about McCain. He is also mentioned in those polls as a leading contender.
Well, this is a story about Rudy - who is a Catholic politician and therefore in the sights of this blog. perhaps a story about McCain is also in order. However, it seems to be that McCain - although soft on many issues and needing rehabilitation - could make a go of it without some of the consequences listed under a Giuliani candidacy.
