Is Gulianai too liberal for the republican ticket in '08?

I think it's gonna be tough for any liberal/moderate Republican to win the GOP nomination

Giuliani is electable, and undoubtedly quite popular among Democrats, and could make significant inroads, or gains, into "blue" states.

However, should he run and win the GOP nomination, would a Christian Right candidate emerge to split the GOP vote?

The Republicans won't nominate a moderate in 2008. The religious right is starting to get cocky and they won't stand for a pro-choice nominee; if the Christian Coalition doesn't torpedo Giuliani, the NRA will do him in.

The religious right will be flexing its muscles pretty soon (if they aren't doing so already). Is it me, or is the GOP becoming increasingly ideologically-driven?

I think the Republican Candidate this time will be to the right of Bush, Scary.

Ideally, against a Democratic moderate. Bring it on!

Hopefully it'll be Santorum and the Democrats will win a landslide. They might even pick up the Dakotas!!

The further the GOP lunges to the reactionary Right, the better it is for the Democrats. Conservatives are not an ideological majority, or even the largest plurality, in most states
