Sorry. That dog ain't gonna hunt with conservatives.
The GOP nominating electorate is overwhelmingly pro-life.
The selection of a pro-abort presidential nominee would mark the end of the Republican majority coalition.
It's on life support the way it is.
A reminder to lurkers:
'Moderate Republican' is code for 'doesn't care how many more babies are butchered in the womb'.
I still think we are one or two years from really seeing a candidate pull out of the group of wanna-bees right now. However, I think Rudy would do a better job on immigration than Bush and he definitely would hold a strong stance on terrorism and what good is every other issue if we take another hit worse than 9/11? My guess is that Karl Rove isn't just visiting with Rudy for social reasons these days...
