Opposition to Giuliani cannot be reduced to "single issue" voters. There are a number of issues besides abortion, including:

Partial Birth Abortion
Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Euthanasia (What IS Rudy's position on this one?)
Gun control
Amnesty/Safe havens for illegal border invaders
Homosexual Civil Unions and/or marriage
School choice (vouchers)
Personal character issues
History of selections and appointments (Bernie Kerik)
Business practices and conflicts of interest

We don't seem to get a straight answer from Giuliani's campaign or supporters.

Character issues? You mean because he's divorced?

Yea, that's going to be an issue when you are running against a woman who let herself be walked all over for decades and still is to this day by a man, humiliated in front of the world, and took it all in exchange for some power... Yea, Rudy's got character issues that are going to cost him an election against Hitlery.. Be serious.

If you are going to write off every politician that's had an affair, you can basically purge 99% of all elected officials out of office tommorrow, both male and female.

"School choice (vouchers)" = WRONG.

"May 12, 1999 | NEW YORK -- In January, when Mayor Rudy Giuliani delivered his State of the City address, he opened what should have been a necessary and vibrant battle over educational principles. Giuliani proposed putting several million dollars into vouchers that would allow poor children stranded in the worst public schools to attend private ones.

"If we give poor parents the same opportunity to make choices about their children's education that the richest and most affluent parents in New York have," the mayor said, "let's see if that doesn't work to really energize that school district and help to create another alternative and more competition."

Dressing the conservative faith in free markets in the liberal cloth of fighting inequality, the mayor's words typified the argument increasingly and effectively made for vouchers by an unlikely coalition of libertarians, the religious right and traditionally Democratic minorities. That the mayor would advocate the cause in a city once so renowned for its public schools only added to the impact and symbolism."

"Euthanasia (What IS Rudy's position on this one?)"

If you don't know, why is it on your list?

"History of selections and appointments (Bernie Kerik)"

One selection, actually made by GWB, does not a "history" make. Giuliani made excellent choices who cleaned up NYC in record time.

There are a number of issues

Je Accuse

He has not been seen to floss after every meal.

There is good authority- which his campaign has not denied- that he has picked his toes in Poughkeepsie?
