Translation: Nominate Rudy and lose, nominate Fred and win.

The "social conservatives" and "values voters" enthusiastically supported George Bush, simply because he met their two sole and exclusive criteria: no abortion, and allegedly "born again."

I hope we can find some more relevant and expansive criteria for 2008.

You may be right, but to many Evangelicals, 'born again' translated to them (us) that this person was of strong moral, fiscal character & would adhere to principled decisions and govern accordingly.

Obviously now we find we were wrong on many levels concerning our perception of who we were voting into office.

We will be more astute, discerning and hopefully wiser next time, Lord willing.

No, judges would be a big part of the criterion as well. And, that ONLY lasting and positive thing to come out of the Bush administration is strict Constitutionalists on SCOTUS.

Anyone not thinking that the nomination of judges isn't as important as any issue is a fool as is anyone that would trust a RINO like Guiliani to nominate such judges.
