My point is, why pin our hopes to such a long-shot, unlikely outcome, when running a candidate who is strong on moral values assures at least a solid 18-20% of voters? Why take the risk?
Giuliani can chip away on many Democrat issues.
If running on Democrat issues is vital for Giuliani, he is in the wrong party.
And on a side note, as you keep on mentioning marriage, can you point me to any reference where either McCain or Giuliani support gay marriage?
Both McCain and Giuliani oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment and Giuliani in particular is well-known as someone who standing squarely on the side of the gay agenda.
There are many solid Republicans who do not support such amendment to the US Constitution. I asked you where either man supports gay marriage.
Sorry, but I believe it is a great thing when a Republican has the ability to chip away at "Democrat" issues. Democrat issues are not issues that concern only Democrats. They are issues of concern to all and where we hope that the solutions are Republican- and not Liberal. The only way that will happen is if there is a Republican in office.
I'm done with this for today except to leave you with one question if you care to answer.
Suppose you come to believe in mid 2008 that no Republican can win except for Giuliani or McCain (you can answer for each separately): do you prefer them or whoever is the Democrat?
