Lack of LEADERSHIP
Lack of B*lls!
I think that one covers many of the others. It certainly explains why the GOP is now leaning toward a candidate whose main virtue is talking tough. Giuliani comes across as the leader so conspicuously absent in the formerly GOP Congress and in the White House. The fact that he would lead the country in directions conservatives don't want to go seems irrelevant to his supporters, so great is their eagerness for vision and determination of any stripe.
