Please back up your assertion, then. NR had a very compelling article to the contrary, so what have YOU got?
When it comes to a conservative Democrat who has some feelings for the right to choose or strong national defense, he will always choose national defense over choice.
Unless, of course, the drumbeat of the MSM over Iraq continues to erode support for the war. In the very demo Rudy would need to run into as a pro-war pubbie in order to make up votes lost from the GOP splintering.
It ain't happening. The Dem candidate will move rightwards far enough to keep the pro-security Dems on the rez, and Rudy won't be able to pull over pro-life and pro-gun Dems and Indies. Game over.
Conservative Democrats are practical folks just like their Republican counterparts.
Hillary knows she has a problem with them both just because she is a woman who happens to be a bitch.
Conservative Democrats on the other hand can't abide the evangelical right that you seem to represent. You can't have any of them...none.
Get over it...
