Wow. My first answer! I do appreciate it.

No, it's not going very well is it? And it's not likely to be a predominant issue in 2008 either. Perhaps the idea of demanding that all presidential candidates be rabidly pro-lie is NOT what is going to change hearts and minds throughout the country? Maybe social issues really belong in the states?

There are other issues besides the abortion issue as pointed out in this thread. They add up and affect a large percentage of potential voters. Do you really think that without the NRA and the religous right that Rudy could pull it off? That is not even factoring in the immigration issue.

Name recognition will not cut it as it hasn't even started to get warm in the kitchen yet for Rudy. Remember that the country was close to 50-50 on the last presidential election.
