I think the point is to keep it from becoming a choice between Hillary and Rudy. He has not been annointed, to my knowledge, and I think it's a mistake to assume that he MUST be the candidate. Aside from that, the general Catholic position at the moment is to vote for the one that you think will do the least harm.

Okay, how's this?
Imagine the following hypothetical situation. Republicans B, C, D are pro-life, but they would lose to any of the pro-choice Democrats. Republican A is pro-choice, but he is so popular that he would beat the Democrats. Republican A would clearly do the least harm. Not voting for him in the primary would lead to the election of a Democrat. Would it be moral to vote for Republican A in the primary?
