Conservatives who are already throwing up their hands and conceding to Rudy don't seem to have much fight left in them.

I'm not conceding the race to anyone, although I do not yet know whom I will support.

"Conservative" is a broad term and there's no doubt in my mind that Giuliani holds many conservative values. He also holds some values to the left of mine. The more a person disagrees with him on a particular issue, the more that person is likely to brand him as a liberal, or a RINO, but that doesn't make it so.

In my estimation, he's a fiscal conservative, tough on crime and defense, and a social moderate.

That doesn't make him a liberal. He would not be welcome in the Rat party.

We've seen quite an outpouring of sentiment among some social conservatives here that they would rather see Hillary elected than to cast a vote for Rudy. That makes no sense to me, but the sentiment appears to be honest.

The question for Rudy is whether he can still get a majority of the ballots if those social conservatives either stay at home or cast a protest vote. I don't have an answer to that question for him.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, because obviously, I've not been on every Rudy thread. But based on the ones I have been on, and there have been quite a few, I definitely wouldn't say there was an 'outpouring'. There may be a few that have said that out of spite.

For the most part, I think the social conservatives feel they can't support Rudy in the primary. I know that's true of me. But if he wins the primary, I would vote for him in the general election.

Rush Is Right!

We Shouldn't Redefine Conservatism

We can support a candidate for president without twisting, distorting and redefining conservatism to fit the candidate...
