Giuliani on public funding of abortion
The double-talk is going to get Rudy. He won't call Roe "bad law", but wants to put SoCons at ease by saying he'll appoint Alito-types to the bench. Meanwhile, he admits to being pro-choice, so why should he be believed? He's trying to get away with a wink and a nod, but old footage like this is going to kill him.
It's one thing to say you're pro-choice (though even that is probably a candidacy-killer in the GOP), but to be telling middle class citizens that the Gov't should be taking more money out of their pockets, and away from their kids and families, so that other women can abort their babies? That dog don't hunt, at least not in the GOP.

article on CNN here indicates rudy is trying to pick up some conservative supporters. But, will he be able to pick up enough big name supporters to overcome the sure drop in his #s once more voters are aware of his position on these issues?

In a move to attract conservatives skeptical of his position on social issues such as gun control, abortion rights and same-sex civil unions, Giuliani's campaign Monday announced endorsements from Sen. David Vitter, R-Louisiana, and former Solicitor General Ted Olson, whose wife, Barbara, was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
"Obviously, I disagree with Rudy on some significant social issues, and these are very important to me and to many people I represent," said Vitter, a vocal opponent of abortion, gay marriage and gun control.
"But after numerous personal meetings with the mayor, it's very clear to me that he's not running for president to advance any liberal social agenda," he said.
Olson, who served with Giuliani in the Reagan Justice Department, said he believes the former mayor "will appoint the kind of judges that we expect in this country -- people that respect the rule of law and the role of judges and who interpret the laws and interpret the Constitution, instead of judges who want to make policy."
Vitter was a huge get. The guy is for real. Smart, principled, and conservative. Olson will help as well, particularly if Rudy listens to him.
