And by the way, on healthcare, there is a stealth issue that may decimate Republicans even this November- although Congress has real advantage of incumbency and we can hope Republicans are strong enough to hold their seats.
The elderly, a Republican constituency in recent years, are very upset about the mess that is the forced Medicare drug benefit which Bush continues to push.
Fine, run Giuliani on healthcare. Try to chip away at that 77% that goes to Democrats on that issue.
A large bloc of Republicans will sit home and watch.
By throwing out moral values such as marriage and life, Giuliani loses 18%-20% support that normally is a lock for the GOP.
It would be political suicide for the party to back such a candidate.
