I know. But on the flip side, there are many moderates who will vote Republican if it's Rudy.

"There are a number who will never support him because of his stance on abortion and gun control."
- Unfortunately, you're probably right even though, if the truth be told, as President he wouldn't have a great deal of direct clout on these issues unless he chose to make them some sort of priority action which would involve Supreme Court nominations and by arm twisting legislators. He would be up to his ying yang in so many issues he wouldn't go looking for more trouble by actively campaigning on these highly divisive issues.
My guess is that, if elected, Rudy is a smart enough politician to leave these issues well enough alone except for voicing his views in appropriate forums, such as the occasional Hollywood fundraiser.
Rudy should start "triangulating" on these issues in the same way that Hitlery is doing.
All that said, I would expect that a Rudy/Rice ticket would be unbeatable and I would support it.
After all, look at the alternative.

There are a number who will never support him because of his stance on abortion and gun control.Those are just strike one and strike two.
His marching in the "gay pride" parade was strike three.

There are a number who will never support him because of his stance on abortion and gun control. If that number gets us President McCain or President Hillary, they will have screwed us all like nobody's business.
