I disagree. Conservatives now find Giuliani very attractive. Post-Katrina, disaster-terror management competence trumps ideology for all but the most intractable social conservative. And Giuliani represents not merely competence in this area but excellence.
As this polls shows, his appeal cuts across the red-blue divide, which will absolutely obliterate a clinton candidacy. I don't think clinton would take her 'home' state.
Pair him with, say Allen, and you have a dream ticket, in my view. Rice as veep would provide an interesting dynamic, altho I don't think that combo would be as strong.
Not any conservative I know. What is attrtactive to a conservative about a pro-gay, pro-abortion, gun-grabbing candidate?
