Condi doesn't seem to be virulently pro-abortion, which I'm afraid is the case with Rudy Giuliani.

I would be willing to vote for her if she simply stood up and said that she had changed her mind and supported the right to life. I think she is a woman of her word, who could be trusted to keep such a promise.

Whether she would ever do that, I don't know. But unless she did, she could not possibly win the presidency, because she would need all those millions of extra pro-life, conservative Christian votes that came out for Bush.

Otherwise, we need to see the emergence of someone else as a candidate who has not yet been in the media, if conservative momentum is not to be lost. Not Giuliani, not Frist, not McCain.

Furthermore, Bush first made the mistake of putting Specter where he is, and then let him delay the Alito nomination for more than two months, giving the media time to work up a case against him. This is the single most important piece of unfinished business at the present time. Let's hope the President realizes that he cannot afford to back down on Alito and leave him hanging in the wind. He must put this nomination through if he wants to regain conservative trust in the Republican party and leave a positive legacy behind him.

Do you think the President will even consider withdrawing the Alito nomination? Why? Just asking because I think the Alito nomination is pretty much a definite conclusion.

"I would be willing to vote for her if she simply stood up and said that she had changed her mind and supported the right to life. I think she is a woman of her word, who could be trusted to keep such a promise."

For that reason alone it is preposterous to ever compare her to John McPain (in my arse).
