re: #511 Salamantis

There are accepted, and less-than-accepted, positions on abortion in both parties. I firmly believe that Giuliani’s candidacy went nowhere in no small measure to his rejection by southern socons due to his pro-choice stance, and the same thing goes for Romney and his well-publicized flip flop on the issue. Both would likely have done quite well in a general lection. Pro-choice Republicans are about as rare as antiabortion Democrats - and the switch by pro-choice Arlen Specter renders the demarcation even sharper.

Um, I think his decision to sit out all of the caucuses and primaries before Florida had a heck of a lot more to do with it.
