You can console yourself the day after Election Day that the President- elect may not be as Conservative on the social issues as you would like but he is a highly competent successful Republican, who will be good on fiscal and many many other issues, will by necessity need to move right for the support of his Party in Congress, and the Nation will be secure under his watch- which should be your number one issue.

Or you can have a Democrat President -elect who will work against all Conservative issues and in addition will not secure the Nation.

That is your choice in 2008 when a there is no Social Conservative candidate who has a shot in hell of winning.

Wrong. I'm not looking for a strict social conservative, pal. The fact remains, however, since Reagan in 1980 the GOP has nominated pro-life candidates to run for POTUS and I don't see that changing for 2008. But its not just Giuliani's pro-abortion stance that troubles most cosnervatives. Giuliani opposes a ban on pro-partial birth abortion. Abortion is bad enough, but killing a human life outside the womb is a total abomination.

And Giuliani's pro-gun control position won't win him any support among NRA members or with those Americans who strongly support the RKBA.

I suggest you consider this. Nominating Giulaini for Prez will in 2008 will only fracture the GOP into two camps, pitting conservatives against the smaller liberal/centrist wing of the GOP. That will open things up for the Democrat nominee and could allow that candidate to win in a close election day battle.
