Abortion and gun control are the biggies. Those are HUGE issues for the right. And I'm also not convinced about the sincerity of his position regarding amnesty.

So it's more a lack of trust, than any specific objection. No matter what he says, I doubt that you will believe him.

Of the three allegeded front-runners, I find him the least objectionable. However, I also think we can do a heck of a lot better.

In the primary, yes. In the general election, no. Don't forget the mood swing that just handed the Democrats the House AND the Senate. Someone like Duncan Hunter would be slaughtered in the general election.

I tend to question conservative epiphanies when they are concurrent with a candidate seeking a new office. I know you consider that silly, so apparently what used to be common sense is now viewed as some form of madness.

First of all, the main reason the GOP lost in 2006 is because they quit acting like Republicans. And second, the Rockefeller wing of the party cannot win at the national level any longer - the only reason Bush the Elder won in 1998 was Reagan's legacy, and he lost after he drifted from such.

So I find it rather silly that you would think an east-coast pro-choice moderate is the best candidate to win in 2008, when past history screams the opposite (more of that common-sense insanity that apparently has completely inhibited my ability to grasp your political wisdom).
