Here's my take. Twenty-some percent of Republicans support Rudy Guiliani - to a person - every single Rudy supporter I've heard says they are supporting Rudy because he can win & they would vote for almost ANYBODY to keep Hillary out of the oval office. They particularly like Rudy because they believe he would be strong on the War on Terror (but, with the exception of Ron Paul - so would the other GOP candidates).

The other seventy-some percent either support one of the other candidates for whatever reason, or have not chosen who they support yet. I'm not sure of how many of those are what some people derisively refer to as "social conservatives" that have passionate beliefs about certain social issues & will pound the pavement, make phone calls, put up signs, give out bumper stickers, etc - in support of a candidate that they believe will protect these certain issues.

Now here's my point - if a certain percent will not vote for Rudy for his stances on these issues - AND - if a certain percentage will vote for whoever is the nominee - THEN DO THE MATH!

Get behind a nominee that satisfies the "socons" and the Rudy supporters will vote for them - right? I mean - it will not be a vote for Hillary - right? This nominee will also get the "socon" vote - right? More votes for THIS candidate - right? Is this making any sense to some of you?????????????

If a certain percentage are just going to vote for the party - and another percentage are going to vote for the candidate - then you get more votes for the party - with the candidate that satisfies the candidate voters - then when you have a candidate that doesn't satisfy them.

You Rudy supporters - do you agree with this?
