You want a Republican to win, then put a conservative in the running. Period.

That's one way to put it. Here's another:

You want a Republican to win, then don't sit out the election and allow Hitlery/Hussein to win the White House. Period.

I will never sit out an election, regardless of how putrid the choice of candidates is. However, I won't necessarily vote for someone just because they're Republican. My prediction is, if it's Rudy vs. Hillary, then the only way Rudy will squeak through is if a number of Democrats vote for him, which I think is entirely possible. A large part of the conservative base will not vote for Giuliani, regardless of who his opponent is. If you want the Republican to win solidly, then get a conservative Republican in the running. Don't put a liberal out front as the Republican candidate and then whine that not enough conservatives voted for him.
