No, it IS a backlash against social conservatism. A majority of this country holds relatively - again, RELATIVELY - progressive viewpoints on social issues, which tend to be personal issues, such as abortion, gay unions (not gay marriage, which most are opposed to), stem cell research, etc. It is time for the Republican Party to rediscover what a REAL Republican looks like - fiscally conservative and socially moderate.

THAT's your period. Voting for real Republicans can't hurt and WILL help!

What Republican Pundits and politicians need to realize, Guiliani’s high polling numbers are a Republican rank and file backlash against social conservatism. We’ve had enough.

Uh, no. It is an issue with priorities, not a backlash against social conservatism.

With the exception of failure to rubber-stamp the Glorious Leader's war policy, on exactly which issues has McCain gone against the party?

McCain can't be trusted to be anything Republican. He has voted Liberal on all important issues and obstructed all Conservative efforts since 1999. I'm Conservative and I'd rather make things worse by voting for the worst Liberal available than vote for McCain. Vote 'No' on McCain. Period. It can't hurt and it might help.

Lots of things could happen, but the sense I get is he is definitely in second place (which is better than Mitt is doing, which in turn is better than anyone else who's announced).

I would not have a problem pulling the lever for McCain in the general election vs any of the democrats currently running, but I don't plan to support him in the primary as my first choice.
