Of course they will. And in this case, they'd be right.
Funny how he saw the conservative light on so many issues right around the time that he decided to run for President....
In 1967, Gov. Ronald Reagan signed a liberal abortion law, declaring, “I’m fully sympathetic with attempts to liberalize the outdated abortion law now on the books in California.” Reagan later changed his mind and expressed regret for signing a measure that saw more abortions performed in California than in any other state before Roe v. Wade. He became a committed pro-life politician and backed the first pro-life plank in the Republican platform. George W. Bush ran as a pro-choice politician in his 1978 congressional campaign, but held pro-life views when he ran for the governorship of Texas in 1994. His father too once favored abortion rights, but took a pro-life position in the 1980 presidential campaign.
I like Giuliani on this, because a President really can't effect the laws on abortion. That can only be done by the Supreme Court, and Giuliani has said he support strict constructionists like Roberts, Scalia, and Alito.
The name of the game in 2008 is winning the election. Someone like McCain or even Gingrich could lose big in the Presidential election and destroy the Republicans in Congress for years.
Immigration has also been a big loser for the Republicans. Tom McClintock lost big in California while Schwartzenegger won big. I would rather have 4/5 of a loaf of bread then have nothing at all. I think Giuliani would win the general election, McCain would lose. Romney hasn't been gettting much traction either . . Gingrich is appealing but has so many negatives that I can't see him getting any of the Hispanic vote, which is vital in close elections.
