Thing is, I'd have a real hard time pulling the lever for Rudy in the general, or any other pro-abortion, pro-gun-control candidate for that matter. So it's important we (you and I and other fiscal/social conservatives) unite behind one candidate early.

I hope that events fall out that will make that choice clear for us all, be it Hunter, Brownback, Gingrich, etc.

To get my vote in the general election, Rudi will have to declare a change in his postion to a minimum: pro-life except rape, incest, life of mother.

If he doesn't he'll not get my vote in the primary or general. McCain automatically doesn't get my vote for crimes against conservatives, freedom, and common sense.

The best idea guy and the best in front of a camera is Newt. He comes with a lot of personal baggage over what could be viewed as a cruel divorce.

I'm open to any others. But, you are right. Conservatives need to settle on one candidate so they don't disperse their votes all over the map. If no one wins the primaries, then a brokered convention won't help: it'll go to McCain.
