On abortion, he says he will appoint strict constructionist judges. On civil unions he just needs to say let the states decide but endorse a constitutional amendment version of the DMA. I personally see abortion as killing a person. I acknowledge great difficulty in assigning the exact moment that "person-hood" occurs. Rudy is able to agree to disagree honorably. And he certainly is better than any alternative coming out of the democratic party. I wouldn't have any problem voting for Rudy. I also wouldn't have any problem voting for McCain or Romney, but I would prefer Rudy. I think Rudy handles the civil union issues in a similar manner as he did the abortion issue.

Gun rights advocates will not support him unless he does a complete 180 on the issue, which I doubt he will. The gun rights community has shown that it is very powerful at the margin, enough to make a difference. Second amendment issues will finish Rudy off.

Why analyze before the field thins out. Most are probably waiting for a few self-destructs, closet skeletons and simple attrition to reduce the reading list.
