I thought "single-issue" pro-lifers would be the most difficult hurdle for Giuliani to overcome, but after the last couple of days I'm convinced gun owners are far more likely to stay home in 2008 or vote for third party candidates.

The problem with Rudy is that it's not just one issue involved here. There are several. Abortion, guns, gay rights, amnesty - and a lot of potential negatives such as his messy divorce, his poor polling against Hillary in the 2000 NY Senate campaign, and other intangibles such as Bernie Kerik.

That's an excellent point.

And his poor polling right now.

In one-on-one matchups with Republicans, Ms. Clinton outpolled Mr. Giuliani 53% to 32% and Sen. John McCain of Arizona 55% to 26%. LINK
