I made a promise to God that I would never vote for a candidate who supports abortion. Trotting out a bogeyman shaped like Hillary will not cause me to violate my wedding vows or my pro-life eternity.

That's two of us.

I have taken the same vow, which is one of the reasons that I switched form the Democrat party many years ago. However, remember that even a pro-abortion candidate like Rudi, will be answering to the Republican Party base, which will keep pulling him in a conservative direction. When Rudi was in NYC he was surrounded by an ultraliberal milieu. If he wins the presidency, he will have to reflect the views of the nation in general and will have to move to the middle. Also, consider that Pat Robertson has endorsed him, which makes me think that maybe that Rudi made a promiss to not attack the social conservative issues. As I keep saying, I am voting for Duncan Hunter, but if he does not win, I will support the Republican regardless of who he is. Remember that a Republican president, will always have to make concessions to the Republican base. Bush really fooled us and we gave him a lot of leeway, but no other Republican will get away with that again for a long time. We are not going to blindly follow the “great leader” just because he knows how to make conservative noises just to get elected. Our eyes have been opened.
