Second, I think we need to be able to state why we think a candidate is not acceptable as cogently as possible and be able to provide an alternative...

I have read your posts tonight with a great appreciation for your insight and cyber-demeanor. I believe that all candidates are flawed and that no currently declared Pub candidate is without an obligation to clarify his positions on weighty matters. However, I regard Giuliani's positions to be those requiring the heaviest lifting.

His speech before CPAC was not a good first step. Homilies on the existence of disagreement will not satisfy those Conservatives who- rightly IMHO- place pro-life concerns, the Second Amendment, and secure borders at the top of their agendas. Hunter is a reasonable choice at present if for no other reason than to keep these issues from being submerged by visions of "electable" sugar plumbs from distracting Primary voters.

Thank you. Your point about his speech at CPAC is an excellent one in particular. I hope that Hunter gets greater exposure. At this point in the current field of candidates it is key that he does especially at the level of grassroots contact of one's friends and Republican neighbors.
