" The issue has been Giuliani vs McCain, and in that matchup conservatives would reluctantly choose McCain over the liberal Giulaini. "

Easy:


Yet the polls show that Rudy is the favorite not just of Republicans, but of conservatives. And my recent conversations - on and off the record - with state-level GOP activists shows that these folks range from enthusiastic to at least open to America's Mayor making a run for the Oval Office.


AND:

Some people who identify themselves as strong conservatives, even when we did do the push-poll questions in Georgia and Florida, were still more willing to go with Giuliani," Johnson said. "Strong, Christian conservatives."

There has already been a plenty of match ups between Rudy and McCain, in practically every 2008 poll since the start of this year, and Rudy has regularly clobbered McCain.
Your "conservatives would reluctantly choose McCain over the liberal Giulaini" is not supported by the reality on the ground.
And Rudy even beats McCain in polls where it's been made clear that to conservative voters that Rudy is liberal on a lot of issues.
Still Rudy is beating McCain amongst conservatives.
Conservatives are NOT choosing John McCain.

You are living on cloud cuckoo land.

I've been following politics for many years and I learned long ago, not to place much credence in the polls this far out. They're almost meaningless at this point. We're two years and three months away from the 2008 Presidential election. Two years away from the GOP convention. Roughly 1-1/2 years away from the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary. And 8-12 months away from the earliest candidate declarations for 2008.

For me this debate is more about Rudy Giuliani, not John McCain. Anyway. Once the average conservative Republican gets around to reviewing Rudy`s political record, "da Mayors" lead in most of these early polls, will evaporate. Social conservatives will not buy what Rudy is selling and for good reason. Liberalism doesn't sell for most Republicans, and even fewer conservatives

Just offering a little education in American politics. Obviously you don't understand that neocon Republicans like Kristol and Krauthammer, can be RINO`s too. Same goes for libertarian Republicans and liberal Republicans. A RINO is someone who doesn't support a majority of the GOP`s political platform. Which BTW, is a fairly conservative platform.
