That is just plain hilarious. Look at the language that Jim Robinson used in his last two polls. Maybe HE's really a D plant? :-)
Let's just say that Hillary (or someone equally as vile) gets the Democrat nomination and a pro-life, anti-gay marriage, pro-gun, pro-defense, pro-borders, pro-small government, pro-low taxes, peace through superior firepower patriot gets the Republican nod. Who would you vote for in the general?
Looks like our true blue conservative did pretty well in our prior poll. Let's now see what happens if we nominate a social liberal who's okay with abortion, gay unions and gay rights is a gun grabber and is weak on illegal immigration. Who do you vote for in the general?
Of course, the R.

If the R is politically conservative -- smaller govt, strong on defense, etc -- I vote for the R.
To me, those are the 'key' issues. With the exception of guns -- and I see no evidence Rudy is a gun-grabber, his policies made sense in the high-crime NYC -- the rest of those issues are all distractions from the real job of Prez.
