Christians for Rudy Giuliani

When I tell my liberal friends and associates that there are only a handful of Republicans that I would vote for before Hillary Clinton, the response is universally the same. I get a blank stare, followed by the question: "Do you really think Rudy Giuliani can win the Republican nomination?"
If you've read about my infatuation with the Giuliani candidacy, you know my answer is YES. While Democrats like to fall in love with a candidate - Howard Dean or Senator Barack Obama, for example - we Republicans prefer picking winners.
While most Republicans would rather support a candidate who opposed abortion rights and supported the Second Amendment, they also realize that, even after seven years of George W. Bush's religious-right mobilization efforts, Americans would be hard pressed to elect such a person. With notable exceptions, like the 2002 California governor's race, Republicans recognize that they, like the Democrats, are a minority party. So, yes, the Religious Right will vote for Rudy Giuliani just as it voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger in California in 2003 and again in 2006.
Why? Republicans don't like being losers. Being losers is why people become Democrats.

Democrats did not largely fall in love with John Kerry in 2004. Many of his primary supporters gritted their teeth and voted for him because they thought he had the best chance of beating Bush. So, I don't know that Dems differ drastically from the GOP in this.
