I have said many times on FR (and been flamed for it) - in the "battle of the RINOs" for the US presidency, I'd take Rudy over McCain hands down.
but on this issue - George Allen voted for this too. there is no one to the right of McCain on this issue that he fears.
Rudy is so far out on 'Life' issue that it would certainly split the party.
Although I agree, he would be kick-ass candidate. Maybe if he changes his position but then he opens himself up to be attacked as a hypocrite.
Macain at least calls himself pro-life.
If only he would not be such a hot-head and hang out with Robertson/Dobson a little bit more, we could get a HERO-PRESIDENT and keep Hitlary out.
