You're saying that all Republicans hold the same views and I'm suggesting they don't. I see Republican voters of all stripes: Country Club, Log Cabin, Evangelical, Blue collar, Social Conservatives, Economic Conservatives, security Republicans...and all have differing interests and priorities.

Well however this process of selecting a Republican nominee plays out...it's intriguing that a candidate like Rudy Giuliani who lacks conservative pedigree has managed to gain a fair amount of conservative support in the Republican party.

It's true that not all Republicans agree on everything, but I would expect that if you asked Republicans to list the issues they consider critically important in a candidate, very few of them would not list abortion, border security, gay marriage, or guns. While many Republicans would probably not regard all of those issues as being critically important, I find it hard to believe that very many people calling themselves "Republican" wouldn't list at least one.
