Never underestimate the ability of Republicans to nominate a sacrificial lamb like Bob Dole. As long as he says the right things.
Social conservatives love Bush. I still wonder how that love has been returned in practice.
Dear Sabramerican,
"Social conservatives love Bush."
I know of few who do.
However, we can understand that Mr. Bush may be as good a candidate as we can get and still win an election.
If the party nominates someone that represents a repudiation of social conservatism, such as Mr. Giuliani, a large percentage of social conservatives, and folks who are sympathetic to social conservatism, will not vote for the Republican ticket.
Enough that it is likely that the Republican ticket will be defeated.
