Political Fallacy #42 - The GOP can't elect too conservative of a candidate.
Fact - If voters see no discernable difference between two candidates, they aren't motivated to vote. Example-Bush's victory. Several million new voters saw that W was a better man than Kerry and turned out to vote. Another example-Ronald Reagan.
Giuliani is as liberal as Hillary on many issues. He's a good man but can serve us better elsewhere. Frist-he's conservative enough but he's about as exciting as the owner's manual of a 1983 Ford Escort. McCain-well...a McCain/Sanford ticket might work as much as I hate to admit it. However, with all this immigration crap lately, we might wanna find a good dark-horse candidate to address this issue (Tancredo, Inhofe) or at least as a Veep.

*************
I think you make an important point here.
None of the choices-Giuliani, Frist and McCain-are appealing to me. I've never been a fan of McCain's because I think he is too liberal, Giuliani was great after 9/11, but also too liberal on social issues, and Frist has absolutely no charisma.
