Effectively, yes. But at this point, Republicans are simply trying to find a way to redefine the party as something OTHER THAN the party of Bush. This is a critical juncture in the future of our party, and we need to figure out what we really believe in.

I stay in Minnesota and sweetness why will not be able to we do basically a 'do-over'. With each and every thing seen, it often is the only factor to do. For crying out loud, some ballots have been discovered interior the backseats of vehicles....ugh!!! ... Norm won't throw the towel in till he has taken it as far as he can take it considering the fact that he became forward till now all the different ballots have been discovered.

Giuliani was originally a democrat who switched parties to run against the inclumbent, Mayor Dinkins. His party platform at that point on the ticket was both Republican and Liberal.
Abortion isn't the only issue the republican party is about.

Abortion is a matter of a dead child or a living child. If the Republicans are backing a Pro-Abortionist, then they are "throwing in the towel"on the Abortion Issue. They are more interested in Getting a Republican elected than the issues.

One can only hope. After the Iraq debacle, the GOP will never regain its stature unless it stops pandering to the religious right and gets back to its free market roots. That means small, lean government, a foreign policy that is principled, unwavering and truly supportive of human rights, and an economic policy that is religious only about cutting pork-barrel spending. Under those criteria (despite his shortcomings), Rudy seems like the best bet for the GOP.

I trust Rudy to appoint constructionalist judges to the Supreme Court more than McCain. It doesn't really matter what his personal views are since he doesn't have the ability to change the abortion issue anyway.

No. They are only postponing it for the short term -- until the next canidate then they will trot the issue out again like a show pony to energize their religious right base.

Gosh! Wouldn't it be great to finally have that red herring issue out of the national political arena?
It would be would voting for the guy if that were the case.

I think the issue is settled unless he appoints pro-choice Supreme Court judges.

I don't think Republicans are that smart (except maybe Chuck Hagel and Arnold).
