"He's flying pretty high in the polls. Even in the south."

Temper that rosy outlook for Rudy at present with the surprising findings from a recent USA Today/Gallup poll showing only 1 in 5 Republicans are even aware of Giuliani's positions on social issues. If accurate, it certainly casts doubt that support for Rudy among Republican primary voters can hold at current levels as the primary approaches and his views on social issues become better known.

An excerpt from the article in USA TODAY with the poll results is provided below with my emphasis added:

As fondly remembered as Giuliani is for responding to Sept. 11, however, most Americans don't know much else about him. Barely one in five Republicans knew that he supports abortion rights and civil unions for same-sex couples, the USA TODAY poll found. Nearly as many thought he was "pro-life" as said he was "pro-choice."

When they were told about his stance on those issues, his star dimmed. One in five Republicans said his views would "rule him out as a candidate" they could support. That included one-third of those who attend church every week, an important base of the GOP that makes up a third of party loyalists.

Every single news story featuring Rudy brings up his social views. If someone doesn't know where Rudy has been on those issues by now I doubt they could find their own ass with their own hands much less find out where a polling site is.

If the poll can be trusted, that could indicate the Rudiflage campaign has been successful. He has been able to conceal his record.

As long as he isn't exposed, he will continue to do well.

That's one of the reasons for the all out attempt to silence, slander and shove aside anyone who doesn't sing in the choir.

Expect the campaign to redouble it's efforts as we come closer to the election.
