If Rudy continues to be strongly pro-abortion, it will rule him out for me and many others.
But I agree, he's good in most other ways. And he has a record for honesty, and saying what he means, so if he changes his position on abortion, or makes a commitment to appoint strict constructionist judges and not to reverse Bush's policies on abortions abroad and fetal stem cell research, I will probably take him at his word.
The worst Republican is better than the best Democrat by a mile.
I'm not one of those crazy conservatives who might be faced with Guiliani/Hillary choice next year and decide to write in Ron Paul, instead.
But I'm not a one-issue voter. Some at this forum clearly are.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm always voting for the lesser of two evils because I've never found a candidate, who speaks out on the record on all issues, that I agree with 100%.
But if I wanted a candidate that I always agreed with, I'd run for office myself.
Thank You!
