However, it does occur to me that Hillary has been putting herself in a position to 'blue dog' Rudy and run to the right of him on the issues.

Bingo. She'll even be able to out "family values" him.

EV, I have been mulling something over in my mind for a while and maybe you could make a comment.

The Republican party got its start as an antislavery party. Probably were considered to be extremists in their day. Their goal was to end slavery and free the slaves, but somewhere along the way, the Republican party lost the moral high ground concerning black americans. They are almost exclusively democrats, now.

So what's on my mind is, what would happen if we were to end up running a pro abortion candidate for president, like Rudy Giulianni? Could we end up ceding on the abortion issue and end up losing the moral high ground there, also? Would we ever be able to claim to be the party that respects the sanctity of life ever again?

I hope you can make sense of my ramblings! Writing isn't one of my strong suits!

Scary, isn't it? How anyone thinks a Yankee liberal gun-grabber like Giuliani is going to have any hope in the South is beyond me.
