It has nothing to do with being pro-life, and everything to do with being a conservative.BowStreetRunner said:Guliani will never get the GOP nomination. He is pro-choice. It is just not going to happen because being pro-life is the litmus test for an acceptable GOP candidate, just like being pro-choice is a requirement for the Democrat nomination. No friends, a Clinton v. Guliani race will not happen. I predict GOP squabbling over things (like abortion) will result in a less than stellar candidate who will get beaten by Hillary......now if they nominate Condi....that is another story

George W is about as moderate as the Republican base is willing to accept. Witness "Justice" Harriet Miers. George W won the first time because he talked the conservative talk when it came to taxes. He won the second time becuase he acted like a conservative when it came to national defense.
But he's just as much a moderate as a conservative, if not more so. There are plenty of issues the conservatives are eager to lynch W for, simply becuase he isn't conservative enough.
McCain and Guilliani aren't even a little bit conservative. They might be able to get the nomination, if nobody better steps up. But they'll never win the white house.
And Hilary couldn't be happier.
