Yes, she is laissez-faire abortion, regulation for everything else.

Not exactly. She's the only person in the Bush administration I've heard who claimed that she was "a 2nd amendment absolutist" (i.e., no federal regulations whatsoever). Personally, she has described herself as "mildly pro-choice", the exact same words used by Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison.

She probably isn't sufficiently conservative on the abortion issue to get a republican nomination, but several people in the pro-life camp (such as Jerry Falwell) have spoken very highly of her when she explained her views privately. Her views on the 2nd amendment (i.e., the roll-back of all federal restrictions) would also probably make her unelectable to the general population as well.
