Trouble For Giuliani: Most Republicans *Don't* Know His Position On Abortion

This has been the big question -- were Republicans aware of Giuliani's pro-choice position and just cool with it or did they really not know?

FoxNews asked the question -- a majority either incorrectly thinks he's pro-life (21%) or doesn't know (36%).

I am saying that is my (very early) guess. They all have the name recognition now but they all also have huge holes.

Hillary - baggage from being the "b****y" First Lady, health care fiasco, and playing the game a little too well as a Senator. She might win the primary but I don't see her winning nationally.

Obama - he is black, has a "Muslim sounding" name, and is considered inexperienced. I think when the primaries come around he could be another Dean when voters try to "go safe".

McCain - despite his sucking up the repeated word is that much of the Republican establishment simply don't like this guy. Much of the "maverick" character that could have garnered him Independant votes has disappeared due to that sucking up.

Guiliani - despite being famous, most people don't really know about him yet and I think his personal life will kill him against a ruthless primary opponent. Add to that his views on abortion, gun control, etc. and he has big holes.

So, yeah, I think the big names will gun each other down and all of them risk not being seen as viable.

TJ - I have no idea. I doubt Edwards because he doesn't seem stronger than he was in '04. I think Gore could potentially do it. He has the advantage of being able to wait until the last minute to declare. His years since '00 have been spent doing things (movie, going on Oprah, growin' a beard) that would seem to give his personality factor a boost and he could be seen as safe since he won the popular vote last time around. Not sure how much losing before hurts, though, because politicians seem to be "one and done" these days.

Gore will have to explain - in the middle of a Presidential debate, probably - why he pushed for the re-count, how he felt about the month-and-a-half long electoral flux, whether or not he apologizes for it, and why the American people should trust him not to put them through it again. But hey, global warming.
