But what Rudy might lose on the Religious Right he could pick up in the middle with fiscal Conservatives/Libertarians/Moderates who don't want a Jerry Falwell in the White House lecturing them on personal/moral issues.

Republicans cannot win (esp nationally) if religious conservatives are not energized. A republican candidate for president needs all three A) excite religious conservatives B) excite fiscal conservatives C) has name recognition which often comes from main stream media. It is easy to find a candidates which fits 2 of the 3, however it is difficult to find one that fits all three as the main stream media is not friendly to true conservatives. The time before the primaries is not the time to support the main stream medias favorite nonconservative candidates. The main stream media will promote them plenty without anyone else doing it. Look beyond the favorite liberal media choices, there are some outstanding republican senators, congressman and governors who are true conservatives.

There are plenty of Christain conservatives who may generally agree with Jerry Fawell on many issues but completely disagree with his tact and view his general approach as condescending.

Like it or not, laws are moral. A stop sign is a moral law. It says not to harm another individual driving in another car.
