Right. But the question is, what will Duncan Hunter do if and when Rudy is nominated?

It's a tough question for all conservatives, particularly high-profile elected officials.

Will they put party above principle?

Will they put party above principle?

If I were a Rudy supporter, I wouldn't count on it. All you have to do is think about the voter guides sent out by the traditional conservative special interest groups. Of the millions of these that go out and get tacked to refrigerators from the pro-2A, pro-life, pro-family, Christian, border control, etc. groups, NONE will endorse Giuliani.

And that, my friend, is a disaster for any Republican candidate.

George W. Bush got 15 million Evangelical votes in 2000 and barely won. Rudy will get a fraction of those--if any. He's a 38% candidate nation-wide.
