You choose to not make a candidate's position on abortion an issue. I understand. You have made your point. However. 16 - 18% of Republicans polled indicated a change in support, knowing Rudy's position. That is the matter the post addressed.

And that is a huge chunk of votes.

It is a huge number of votes, but it is not the only issue and there is the possiblity that another's views on another issue may have just as damaging numbers.

I stated that those two issues alone would not turn me against a candidate. I would rather wait for all candidates and all positions. Unfortunately, there are so many issues to debate and it all comes down to which ones (issues) determine the greater good. It could be that his views are to prevent himself from being everyone's conscience in all issues. It could be that he draws a line as to how far into the individual minds of the people he gets with what they should be individually choosing.
