Okay I agree with you 100% but what if the choice is Rudy or McCain? What then? Throw this into the mix, the GOP is facing either one of the two mentioned above against Hillary. Then Ron Paul decides to run under the Constitution Party banner. Is this going to split the conservatives like Nader did to the RATs? Are there enough conservatives (especially among the ranks of registered democrats and independents) to give us a victory? There is no way we can win without a substantial portion of those on the other side joining us. The 2000 election illustrated this. Gore lost his home state of Tennessee AND West-by-God-Virginia on the strength of the gun vote. But with Rudy/McClame and Hillary giving the same basic view on guns, there is no reason to jump ship in dramatic fashion. PLUS the third party has to be on the ballot in EVERY state to be viable. Now what?

Then the Republican Party is choosing to shoot itself in the foot, if not the head.

Rudy or McCain as candidate amounts to the Republican Party choosing a Democrat as candidate. With the choice effectively being between a Democrat and a Democrat, between a leftist and a leftist, it is entirely understandable if some voters choose some form of "none of the above".

The choice of Hillary vs. Rudy/McCain is truly a choice between the lesser of two evils. As the result either way is evil, please understand if some of us pass up the choice altogether.
