I understand what you're saying, and agree to a point.

But I'd add that while McCain's relatively pro-life position probably didn't movitate conservatives to vote for him in the primaries, it's likely one of the only reasons they'll vote for him in the general. The war also enters into it, obviously.

But if McCain were pro-abortion, he wouldn't get my vote in November. As it is, abortion and the war are the only reasons I can put the rest of his record aside long enough to pull the lever.

Well, I disagree. I’m pro-life, but would have had no trouble voting for Rudy over these two. And as a professor at a Catholic school who deals with the younger generation, who, supposedly, are more “pro-life” than in the past, I get a sense that it is less of an issue than ever with them.
