You knew he had to do it. I guess he has learned that some of his--apparently previously held--more moderate views won't get him that right wing support. After all, Bush beat him with the radicals in 2004. Now, especially since he's declared himself a presidential nominee (again), he's trying to be real palsy-walsy with the likes of Falwell and Dobson. And when those "agents of intolerance" (McCain's own words in reference to Falwell), are your new chums how can you support Roe v. Wade? You can't. The problem is that he may set himself up for a fall because most Americans are not on the far right (or left) and the more issues on which he veers right, the more he'll stand in contrast to Rudy--but maybe that's the plan. Although it's hard not to respect a guy that served the country as he did and paid such a price, the fact that he basically caved to Bush on his hallmark credo (i.e., anti-torture) tells me all I need to know. Can you say Gitmo? Rendition? Habeas Corpus? He's lost credibility so he has no option but to steer hard right and pander to the neocons and fundamentalists. Hey, those folks at Liberty University sure loved him! Giuliani will probably kick his butt in the Primary--although he certainly has problems (ahem, infidelity) of his own. And don't even get me started on Mitt.
